When my kids were still at home our rule was you could not
comment on the food on someone else's plate.

My one big rule is there *must* be a radio or TV on, or other
background noise. I absolutely cannot stand eating noises (even
my own!); they literally make me ragey.
I'm also a fan of "don't take food off my plate", and waiting
til everyone is done eating before clearing the table.

Aleko:
"My late Viennese Jewish grandfather used to do that and my
parents and we kids all hated it. And now I have a MIL who does
it"
Now that you told us all about your grandfather--what is MIL
Nationality and Religion?

This was one of my late DH's pet peeves, and I agree. What is to
be gained by commenting, "OMG, you are eating a peanut butter
and sardine sandwich??!! How could you?"
Just be quiet and be glad you're not the one eating it.

Remarks about what others are eating should follow the same
rules for comments on personal appearance. The only thing
permitted is some variation on ‘Ooh, that looks good!”
