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).
I don't get it
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
Thank you
Old people think how fast someone eats or whoever finishes their meal first is a virtue.
I never understood this boomer shit.
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.
