I have recently started a new job. I'm a community nurse so am aware that, if people are very busy, they might not get a lunch break so I don't have an issue with people eating a sandwich or a kitkat during a meeting. However, in my new team, there is a culture of colleagues eating really elaborate stuff in the middle of meetings eg getting out a baguette, tub of butter, ham, cheese and mayo and sit there assembling it all. Or producing a Tupperware container of fruit, chopping a banana into it, then stirring in a pot of yoghurt and then garnishing it with honey. Last week, someone came to a meeting carrying what looked like a whole side of salmon.
I've never come across this anywhere else and find it really distracting and a bit odd.
