Do you talk while eating?

I just returned home from a gathering and I noticed that we were all talking while eating. But of course, we do not talk with our mouth full of food. We only talk after swallowing the food. I prefer talking/watching TV/listening to music/etc while eating. I find it kind of boring to just eat.

yes am also talking while am eating food and other. when our friends and relatives come together when we eat automatically we talk with others. especially my friends ans me also talking while eating. we cannot control while we eating some thing when other persons talk with us we definitely give reply them. i think most of people talking while eating food. i cant digest, even my sister did not eat with out talking to the others when eating food or some food.

I hate talking when I am eating, I do not mind when out for a meal but at home I would rather be quiet. Plus it takes me long enough to eat as it is without adding conversation to the mix. No I would much rather read a book while I am eating!

but when I'M in university.There is always little chance to walking afer eating food. time is busy. so maybe talking is a good method . I will try .

I think the best way to digist is walking ,instead of talking.of courese talking can help digest in some degree.I rarely do this.Any way,just like waiking or talking can help us lose weight and benefit our health. so you can digest food with walking .

Your habbit of not talking while eating is a good habbit. Ideally it shoudld be your way so that you could enjoy eating well. However, for many families it is the dinning table the place to have a chat with family member among their busy schedules of work, education and etc. In that sense it is not bad as it helps to improve the bond between family members. When I talk or not, when eating, I want to finish eating as soon as possible. Usually I finish eating in 5 to 10 minutes.

hi I'm the one who eats away the other brains while i'm eating.I never like to eat with out gossiping.When i was a child i use to eat my fathers brain many of the times,but now i'm grown up and got married.Now i started eating away my husbands brain like anything while i'm eating

I'm more of a listener than a talker, so when at the table I tend to eat and listen to the conversation around me. As a frend said, I don't talk much, but I don't miss anything lol

Normally I don't talk while I have food in my mouth but the other night my daughter and I went out to Olive Garden for dinner and the waitress kept coming by and asking us things while I had food in my mouth and I had to talk or she just stands there until I answer her. She asked my how the food was and I waited to answer her with, good, but then she just stood there looking at me so I just said it before I swallowed my food. Then later she came and asked if she could bring us anything and since I wanted some bread sticks and didn't want her to walk away before I could say anything, had to eat the food in my mouth first, I had to talk with my mouth open. But most times I won't say anything with food in my mouth. I will usually wait till I finish it before I talk. Alrighty then, talk to you later my friend, Have a good mylotting day, Chris

i eat alone all the time because i live alone. if i do have company we talk.

I can eat with or without conversation. I just hope that your family does not talk while they have food in their mouth.

"dont talk when the mouth is full" thats what we always said while eating. but sometimes cannot avoid it.

i can't!! Especially in the noon we friends will gather in the college canteen and we will form a group(all of us are from different departments) and we will mostly talk and in between WE EAT!!! Its all fun man!! you're gonna loose nothing!! we share the things we experienced at that day or we'll comment about the professors or one of our friends,etc,...WE CANNOT SHUT UP!!

of coure i talk when i eat because i have to if i dont i dont feel right

i guess some family dinner time is the best time for all the family members to be intact or be together and talk their previous or days activities...that same goes with my family..i guess eating while the mouth is full is not good have to swallow it first before talking....since i myself cant really talk if i have something in my mouth..and i dont see any interference in the digestion part as long as we chewed our food properly ..

To me, it's not a matter of digestion. It's a matter of enjoyment. There usually isn't a problem digesting your food while eating. That's not an issue. I normally don't like to talk while eating because for me it's important that I experoence, both physically and psychologically, the act of eating. But, there are times when I'm with a friend and every once in awhile I'll say a blurb, but, not often. I try to save most of my conversation for before and after I eat. Purrs, Catwoman=^..^= & Mija

it's good manner to talk while dining with friends, but not talking with food in our mouth. who can imagine a dinner with silent partners? only eating, eating and no talking?

i will talk while eating but not while the food is in my mouth... hahaha.... i noe tat some1 hate the people who talking while eating... but i like to talk coz tat is the oli time tat our whole family together to eat and chat... so, it will b very happy while having dinner... =)

it depends on who im sitting with. around certain friends i do hae the habit of talking while im eating, especially while gossiping. and with my family i mostly talk while eating. sometimes i get bored while eating so i talk. it may seem like rude behavior though.

talking while eating, i dont know about you but i dont mind when people talk while eating, but what i do not like is when a person sits at the table takes a mighty chunk and starts talking while the food is in the mounth and can see the whole mixture of the ground food and saliva, that is so.... disgusting and then that person is oblivious of how much he or she is making you want to throw up.
