Is there a manner related to eating in the living room so as to watch something on TV?
We do it most of the time. All normal table manners still apply of course, but I've been catching myself talking with food in my mouth recently, I'm not sure what it means but I have taken to concentrating on manners a bit more.

I think loud burping is an Australian passtime really. We all do it at our house, and right now in my current state, I seem to be outdoing all the testosterone in the house.
At the end of the meal most of us will have a good burp. I'm not too keen on it in the middle of the meal, but it's ok if everyone's finished eating (except sometimes Mav has to put up with it because he is an interminably slow eater).

I still don't have a good answer as to why my elbows should not be on the table.
Everyone is always sitting across from me. Because that's polite. Now why should my elbow not be on the table?

Round tables. The only time anyone is really right next to me is when my husband and I feel like sitting together. Then it's really rude because we are intentionally in each others space and use that to our advantage.
![]() My dinner table is also set up with the chairs directly across and we really never have more than 4 people at one sitting. I still want the answer, mind you. I will not be distracted with more questions when I want a good answer.
