Following on from another thread... I've never understood the thinking behind this (in fact, I'd never heard it at all until I was in my twenties).
Is it a middle class thing? Is it because street food is considered to be the preserve of the poor (I know this is the case in some developing countries)?
I can understand why it's inconsiderate to eat strong-smelling foods in enclosed spaces, but other than that I'm bemused by this one.
