When you're at home, where do you eat most of your meals?

Asked by jca2 (16826points) April 26th, 2024

When you’re at home, where do you eat most of your meals? Do you sit at the table? Little breakfast type of table, large dining room table? Do you sit at the kitchen counter? Do you eat standing up, over the sink or counter? Do you eat in the living room, while watching TV? Do you eat in the bedroom? Do you sit outside on deck, patio or balcony?

Recliner. We only eat at table with company or family. Mostly because we do Paleo so its usually a few bites of meat and a salad/veggie. Not a full sloppy plate.

At the table. I’m not a savage.

I eat my tea and toast in the morning in my reading chair in the den with either the paper or a book for company. Depending on what lunch is, it’s either at the kitchen table or standing at the island. Supper is usually at the kitchen table.

On a tv tray in front of the tv. My table has stuff on it…jigsaw puzzle, mail, etc. I live in an apartment so there’s not a lot of choices.

Our kitchen tables are in storage. Sigh.
I eat on my recliner on my bed room. We don’t eat at the same times.

@Hawaii_Jake I’ll just be sitting here with my haunch of raw beast until you finish, then come on over and we’ll have a nice evening of books and music! <3

@canidmajor ;) hahaha. I’ll be right there

And the chocolate I have is pretty good, too!

I’ll bring whipped cream.

(I could dip a Hershey’s bar in whipped cream and be perfectly satisfied. Seated at the table, of course.)

I eat at the dining room table. The “kitchen table” has too much stuff on it (mail, air fryer, dutch oven). And TV off/no electronics unless I am by myself.

Sitting on my sofa in front of the TV, but my husband almost always eats at the kitchen table, so when we are eating at the same time, I eat with him there.

I almost always eat at the kitchen table where seconds are an arm’s length away.

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

@flutherother That’s good critical thinking.

At the dining room table. This is less fancy than it sounds. Our house is not large, and the living room, dining room, and kitchen are open to each other with the exception of one small wall. Other than the couch, the dining room is the only available place with a table for eating. The couch is for snacking.

Coffee table or in bed. As my chairs creek when I sit on my dining room table.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the dining table. Second breakfast and afternoon tea at my WFH desk. Midnight snack on the couch in front of my TV. I’ve been eating like a Hobbit since I started working from home.

Usually in the kitchen. Never eat while in bed (anymore). HA!

Breakfast at the kitchen table.

Lunch and dinner on the sofa in front of the TV.

In an upholstered chair in my family room that has a side table right by it for holding anything necessary. But I usually read while I eat, not watch TV.

Dutchess_III's avatar

I don’t think I’ve ever eaten in bed.

LifeQuestioner's avatar

@Dutchess_III the only thing I have ever technically eaten in bed is maybe a few hard candies, but then maybe that doesn’t really count.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Wait. I have to correct myself. I’ve been hospitalized so I ate in bed then.

If I’m alone I eat at at desk in the office (there is a TV in there) or sit at the table with a book or something work related. Most of the time I’m not alone and we eat at the table and converse. We have trays for those emergencies such as football games.

Dutchess_III's avatar

I know football emergencies. Surprised Rick hasn’t installed tornado sirens on our house.

filmfann's avatar

I find eating in bed disgusting. My wife sees it as luxurious.

smudges's avatar

I agree with it being kinda gross. All of that dead skin and those invisible mites that live in your sheets…ugghhhh!! Plus, there’s no way to really balance to your tray, plate or whatever.

RocketGuy's avatar

I just don’t want crumbs between the sheets.

One day, twas April 1, I came home, turned on the kitchen faucet and got a facefull of water! My son had taped down the handle to the sprayer!
That kid went to bed in a pile of cornflakes that night.
