Constraint n°059
The Silent Meal
Dine together. No phone. No music. Just you two and the food.
Invite someone to dinner. No phones, no music, no screens. Just the two of you, the food, and silence. See what happens.
Instructions
- Invite someone... a friend, a partner, a parent. Explain: we're going to dine, one hour, no phone.
- Prepare a real meal. No delivery, no prepared dishes. The care put into the meal is part of the constraint.
- At the table, put all phones outside the room or face down on the table. No music, no background sound.
- Eat. Talk if you want, or not. Silence is not mandatory, just attention.
- After the meal, each write just one sentence describing what you felt. Compare your words. Submit both as a Trace on the site.
Variants
Do it alone. A meal prepared with care, tasted in complete silence.
Do it with ten people. Collective silence at the table is a different phenomenon.
