## **Synopsis**

The Tachibana family eat food together, but while eating their food, they're judging each other's way of eating.

## **Plot**

The Tachibana family is watching TV and eating grapes. Yuzu is peeling the grapes directly after taking them and eating the peeled grapes whilst Mikan's many grapes and saving them for later. Okaa-san on the other hand is eating the grapes raw, without peeling any skin off. During the eating, the three start mentioning how weird the other one's eating is, which makes Okaa-san loose focus on the TV show. While Okaa-san's asking everyone what she missed, Otou-san steals Mikan's peeled grapes. Noticing only one peeled grape left, Mikan shows him her plate containing one peeled grape, but then Otou-san takes the last one and eats it.

The Tachibana family is watching TV and eating sweet potatoes. Yuzu is peeling the sweet potatoes directly after taking them and eating the peeled sweet potatoes whilst Mikan's many sweet potatoes and saving them for later. Okaa-san on the other hand is eating the sweet potatoes without peeling any skin off. During the eating, the three start mentioning how weird the other one's eating is, which makes Okaa-san loose focus on the TV show. While Okaa-san's asking everyone what she missed, Otou-san steals Mikan's peeled sweet potatoes. Noticing only one peeled sweet potato left, Mikan shows him her plate containing one peeled grape, but then Otou-san takes the last one and eats it.

The Tachibana family is watching TV and eating spaghetti. Okaa-san keeps telling her family that they shouldn't slurp while eating, because a sad part is going to play on the TV show. While the sad part is playing, Okaa-san gets too emotional and starts slurping really loudly, which annoys everyone.

The Tachibana family is eating toasted bread on their usual table for their breakfast. Mikan notices that Okaa-san's eating the heel of the bread and asks her how she can eat that. Okaa-san says that it's the most nutritious part of the bread. While the two continue discussing about the topic, Yuzu calls Mikan's eating habit of first eating the crust and then the bread weird. Mikan argues back saying that he only eats the bread, not the crust, to which brings Yuzu and Okaa-san in an argument.

During the argument Okaa-san asks Otou-san to tell Yuzu that he should also eat the crusts, but then the family notices Otou-san's weird way of eating toasted bread, which is scooping the white bread part on it's side. This brings everyone to an agreement that Otou-san has the worst way of eating bread.

Lastly, the Tachibana family is watching TV and are trying to eat crab legs. Okaa-san's trying to eat it raw with her teeth, Mikan's trying to scoop the insides out a fork and Yuzu is trying to scoop the insides out with chopsticks. All the while Otou-san's playing around with the crab leg. Okaa-san then gets herself secateurs and tries to cut the crab leg that way.

* In the transition scenes where the food name is shown, the romanization of the word "Spaghetti" was done incorrectly and was shown as "Spageti". This was done on purpose and was corrected with ゲッ being put between Pa and Ti.
* This is the first time we see detailed and well painted backgrounds.
* This is the only episode where the principle repeats itself over and over again.
* It's also the first episode where we see the same eye catches three times in a row.
