As a typical American with little public transit experience, I’m right there with you. My understanding from people who do use public transit, though, is that eating a meal on the metro is a heresy deserving of immediate and excruciating death.
Its a sensory thing IMO. You’re subjecting a captive audience to smells that may linger. Not to mention potentially making a mess for someone else to clean up
In general, yeah. But it really depends; if it’s a mom and her kid, or if it looks like someone shuttling between multiple jobs and this is the only time they have, then I’d give em a pass.

Just going at a rotisserie like Cookie Monster would be rude, but regular riders learn to ignore most things, so I doubt anyone would say anything.
