And the equal portions, starting gun, and ready to dive in pose implies that they are having a speed contest, a classic kind of American thing like 1972 onward hot dog eating contest, a race of 10 minutes (they have adjusted the minutes allowed, but time is the key to the race).

It's just that they've been arguing for years and the wives are fed up about it.

I wish there were eating contests like that where I live :(

It's obvious that they are having a race... But the question is WHY. Was it a common thing to brag about how fast you can eat your dinner?

That's why I linked the hot dog eating contest, which is a drag race

Maybe because boomers eat like someone is about to steal the food of their plates.

That's not a boomer trait, it's inherited. I eat fast like my forefathers before me.

Okay, I was confused because of the replaced text, I'm so used to the font Larson used.
