I notice there isn't a whole lotta of chit-chat, discussion going on during mealtime ... is this a typical Southern thing, or just that my particular in-laws, extended, are too much into talking at the table? Maybe if my Aunt Pat back in CA wasn't so busy running her gums ... ;)
Yankees talk during a meal. I see that as an indictment on their less than desirable culinary skills...
