The article reflects on the decline of engaging mealtime conversations, highlighting a scenario where friends only discuss food during meals. The author expresses frustration over their companions' obsessive focus on food aspects, from critiquing dishes to sharing personal dietary experiences. They note that conversations lack depth, failing to include other interesting topics, which results in a tedious dining experience. Despite the friendships spanning years, the constant food-centric chatter has dampened their mealtime enjoyment, prompting a desire for a return to richer discussions.
I'm fed up! The conversation only about food at mealtimes makes me lose my appetite, and I miss the engaging discussions we used to have.
I would even stomach all that if they then talked about something else during dinner, but they don't. It’s all about the food.
