At a table? Desk? Living room in front of the TV?

When my wife is home, at the dining table, like a civilized couple. We discuss politics, the weather and other grownup subjects and howdoyoudos.

When only with the son, in front of the tv, watching one of our shows or a movie.

When alone, in front of the computer, like the slob that I truly am.

At home, at the table. However, while I'm living in halls, I prefer to eat on the sofa.

Sitting on my bed, which is mostly used as a couch during the day. Neither a dining table nor a couch were part of my budget.

In my mouth.

Mostly at the dining table, meals are social and family time.

Very occasionally I will eat the desk if I’m in the house alone or working late etc, but it’s something I try and avoid generally.

On a tray, on my knee in front of the telly. I am working on being a bit more civilised and not eating in the living room but...

If I’m eating alone and I can do it over the sink, I choose that. Else the two-seater table my partner convinced me to get.

Since having kids, our meals are at the dining table. If given the choice, in front of the TV, always.
