a new phenomenon: talking about food while eating food.
for example, while eating smoked salmon and pasta, discussing the actually good ways to consume anchovies (which a lot of people hate): salt-stuffed or grilled on a skillet.
OR, whether people from different countries finish their plates or not. all of this is done with our moufs full and while spitting out tiny bits of pre-masticated penne. it's weird but it's good.
