No Time To Waste at the Table

While they value their food, they have no time to waste at the table. This means that they eat rather fast. It is not that they don’t believe in leisure, but imagine having no dishwasher, no electricity, or running water. At the end of a meal, we’d probably be rushing to clean up the house, and we have no time to dilly-dally.

They don’t have the usual table manners that normal folk have. Instead of “Please pass the potatoes,” expect to hear “Potatoes!” instead.
