Table manners

''Table manners are the rules used while eating. Different cultures observe different rules for table manners.''

Speaking while eating
1) you do not talk about food club. 2) you do not talk about food club.

It is impolite to mention your food while eating, so you may only refer to it by auxiliary: you're already putting it in your mouth, giving it names is just rude. No "this chicken is so good", no "I fucking love this crunchy crack cocaine", no "what a stellar custard!". It is however also impolite to not backchannel while eating if someone else made what you're eating, so you might be expected to mumble stuff about how "it" or "this" is. Typical phrases are usually fairly neutral, stating that what is being eaten is edible or pleasant, although the individual speaker may of course express greater affinity for their food if they really like it. It is just general etiquette not to make strong statements about the meal, so as not to rope others into having to match the enthusiasm and pretend. These expressions often come in the form of nasal mumbling, with a particularly common and standard way of writing such mumbling being "encwa"; a reduced form of egrw da, ≈"(this is) food", ≈"edible indeed".

You can talk about what you ate in full before receiving it, or some time after you (and everyone around you) have finished a course, or when you've cleaned up after the meal and sat down to drink. Talking about food before it was eaten used to be a taboo, but with the rise of a service industry and its need to state orders as one goes along, this taboo has faded.
