@babewensabi: sure its not proper. I dont invite people, especially people that look very hungry, except i've really got food for them.

Just saying that some peeps do it out of habit, even before they realise what they just did. They were brought up like that.

So the invited should atleast try to consider the size of the food b4 running along to indulge his longthroat.

Tedyk: 2 cum nd eat.......
lol

Most times 'come and eat' is said for courtesy sake. Cuz if you are in a room full of people and you are in a corner eating all alone, it appears very selfish, especially in Igbo culture.

It doesn't mean the room full of people should go attacking the one plate of food, cuz for most people 'come and eat' is just a habit they've been brought up with and gotten used to, and nothing more.

A person who really wants you to come and eat would get you an extra plate of food or something, if she doesn't do something like that, then she expects a 'no thank you' most of the time.
