The dining table is a gathering place -- a desk for homework help, a birthday buffet, a bric-a-brac collection point during spring cleaning, a conference table, a gossip bench, a wailing wall. It is a transmitter of social values and popular culture.
There is something primitive and essentially vital about sitting down and sharing food with one’s kin and companions. There’s a sense of belonging, a realization that no matter what happens in the world, there’s peace and plenty and safety with everyone around the dining table having dinner.
