Why does dinner feel like not supper?

Supper, the next important food after breakfast. People nowadays are starving for real dinner, we choose to eat and digest whenever we want, the table becomes now empty, voices are now silent for we focused on TV. We hold phones while chewing the gums, is this genuine dinner time?

Wednesday, July 28, 2021. Maybe now you were thinking what again for dinner or doing the cooking for supper, some are at the moment or just got their eats. Maybe you will realize that we changed a lot, we now evolved into something, unlike the first humans. Not just us who changed, but the habit is one.

I tell you honestly, I don't eat dinner at the table. After getting the food I will indirectly leave the kitchen and goes in front of the TV, for we were taking our supper at the time while watching the news, the current event about vaccination and the delta strain of the noble coronavirus, its happened as the normal scheme here. I'm living with my mother and father. We three people just doing our dinner in the manner of our choice.

Come to the realization, maybe again not only me. But some people here are also doing the same etiquette, I admired those whos not and I will try to seek those who do the same LOL. Are we ready to change? or this is the changes they brought to us?.

Living in the new normal and new millennium. Things changes, habit, and practice become something that unformable. We are hungry, not for food but for dinner. I remember my eldest concerns and stories when I joined them for dinner, depends on the meal they offer of course LOL. My grandpa tells me that they must be eaten dinner at the table, one sibling who doesn't know the time for eating can't eat anymore.

Well, lives in that time are hard and fragile, even a small leaf over at the plate must have to be consumed, he says that they really practicing the "Hating Kapatid" or siblings contribution. They don't have the choice to complain about what food serves and if enough or not. That's the life they had in their history.

Now, that the development and upgrades, we now complain and rejects some. I will not object that I wasn't guilty of this practice, but I also want to look at the things that could fight myself.

We now complain about the food if the taste didn't suit us, the flavor, the lack of condiments and ingredients and even the appearance of the meal. Sometimes it's the tastebuds, people who craved for something must prepare and eat this eminently. Not only for rich people but for all, even the middle class and the other one had this kind of mindset. Are we have the right to complain? If yes why?.

When I was young and we lived in my grandfather's house on the side of my father, I experience dinner with strict protocol. Where the time has arrived we must have the position in a lengthy table, yeah long like the drama you watched but not that classy as that. My grandfather will always sit on the side where he will see everyone eating, one look from him makes you just swallow the food for fear. He's a tyrant man, but he looked like me, I got his appearance and some of the attitude LOL (Just some).

Christmas evening is the best dinner of the year, just one day but it's like a magical thing. We were always completed, cousin, uncle, and auntie we must had the dinner in my grandfather house, in here we were living now. This is the only dinner serves with lots of love, laughter, and stubbornness of the nephews and nieces.

The last supper of the year, or the New year. All Filipinos and other nations will agree with me that this dinner is the grandiose time. When the firework displays and firecrackers are all around, the smokes of powder. The loud voices of anything when it 12 AM is the clock. But this not happened last year, because of precautions about the virus and suspension of the firecracker in the Philippines. We really missed those old days.

Dinner may be different for everyone, remember my noise post where I stated that I was curious about the time you took the dinner. Some answered 7-8 PM which is normal for the people who lived in the province (Village), others exclaimed it's 9-10 which I also undergo while visiting the city. The rest tells it's 11-12 PM for their suppers which I believed really happened for those really busy people.

Also, we are different in food and how we prepared, in the Philippines dinner wasn't really one if no rice is shown, some had the night with just meats and salads, other just vegetables and many others.

Had you think of the realization that we are hungry, were starving for the real dinner. Because of busy schedules, works, and activities related, and because of our social media world, we often eat and hang out in front of the table, the table now is empty and the sofa is filled. The revision becomes the source not what happened these days. Did you just felt the same like I do?

Ako sanay na akong kumakain na mag isa kapag tuwing umaga kasi nagkakaubusan kasi hahaha kaya dapat paunahan kami kumain πŸ˜… pero kapag tanghali at gabi naman sabay sabay kami kumain kasi ayaw ng mama ko na hindi kami sabay sabay kumakain para daw mas nakakagana kumain kaso kung sino ang mahuli kumain siya mag liligpit ng mga pinagkainan tapos siya na din maghuhugas mg plato 😊

Ako talaga nasanay na di makisabay sa hapag kainan. Nung bata ako oo nakikisabay ako pero habang nasa hapag kasi may maririnig kang di maganda palagi kaya minsan nakakawalang gana din. Alam mo yon? Yung kay aga aga tapos dikapalang nakakasubo ng kanin at ulam may madidinig kanang 'buti pa si ganito at ganyan'. Kaya simula noon dina ako nakikisabay talaga umaga, tanghali, gabi. Kahit di nila ako tirahan ng ulam wala naman akong pake kasi di naman problema yon kasi may pera naman akong ipon na barya barya pambili sa tindahan πŸ₯±

Sa amin dati, nagagalit ang tatay namin pag kumakain kami na nakaharap sa TV. Dapat daw pag kumakain nasa hapag-kainan. Sagrado daw kasi ang hapag-kainan. Kaya dapat daw nererespeto. Pero sa amin yun.

Hindi namin naeexperience dito sa bahay na sabay sabaw kumain. Siguro Kasi nakalakihan na namin? Pero Hindi ko gusto Yun. Inggit nga ako sa pamilya na sabay sabay kumain. Sa bahay ng in-laws ko sabay sabay kami kumain.

Kami Lang ng asawa ko sabay kami kumain. Kapag aayain namin si papa saka kapaktid ko sasabihin mamaya na. E ano magagawa namin . Kaya I'll promised myself na Yung family namin mag asawa e dapat maranasan Yung sabay sabay kakain. Magpepray together kahit madami o konti Yung NASA hapag.

Make a conscious effort to eat at the table. If others will not do it, then set an example. We don't have TV here but we have computers and phones but we still eat at the table and concentrate on our food.

I'm old-school and always eat at the dining table no matter what unless super emergency na. My husband's just like you. Get a bowl. Open the fridge. Pick something. Sit in front of the tv. Gobble. Nothing wrong with that I think basta nasa loob ka lang ng bahay mo.
