I dont have a dining table but all the people i know who have them, eat on them.

My mum would have a fit if she saw you not using the diningg or not using a place mat.

This evening.

My parents always had a dining table and 6 chairs when I was growing up. No way would myself and my sisters eat whilst sitting in the lounge, watching TV. And no bolting food down, because there was a programme we didn't want to miss. We ate, and took our time doing so. Our meal times were times the whole family was together.

Now I have a family of my own - the dining set is used at all times. My toddler daughter has outgrown her high chair and table combo, and now sits at the dining table with us, with a high chair, so she can reach. Cutlery is used at all times, bar the odd occasion when we have swallow meals, and tough chicken. We encourage our 30-month-old to do the same, and she's good. She still can't use a table knife yet though, but a spoon or fork in her right hand are the norm.

In my opinion, eating whilst sitting on the couch watching TV is not good practice - both in terms of social etiquette, and from a health viewpoint. That's the best way to disrupt proper digestion, and become lax with what you eat, and when.

Others may well have their own views on this, I've merely stated mine.

people are generally more relaxed about such things these days, compared to before.

besides, i think strict adherence to dining table etiquette is more of a british or middle/upper class nigerian phenomenon.














these days, there are alternatives to eating at table- eg kitchen islands, recliners with cup holders, etc.

although eating or tossing salad is better at table sha.

I prefer eating on the dining table compared to anywhere else as it is more comfortable.

Anywhere I deem fit to eat is my dinning and any table I use is my dinning table.

I eat most of my food on the dining table...not necessarily with fork and knife, but I still do. It's comfortable.
