That just sounds gross. I wouldn't want to eat at the table with animals, so there is no way I would want to pursue a relationship with someone like this. And I would be honest and tell him how I felt.
In some cases, I'd rather share the table with animals. No joke. I'd rather sit at the head of a big table at which were seated 10 well behaved dogs, rather than sharing it with people who eat like hogs.
My suggestion is: be careful! He only showed you his bad table manner on your first date, God knows how many bad manners he has in other areas and if you can live with them. My experience tells me don't expect to change a man. when looking for a lifetime partner, we have to plan for the worst. If his table manner is bad when you are dating, don't expect any change after you are married. You have to evaluate the whole 'package': no one is perfect. But can you live with his flaws. Now you are single and you still have the power to choose. Once you are married, you don't have a choice but to live with it.
To me, table manner is not exactly a deal breaker but is a bad indication that this person is not properly brought up and may have many other flaws that are a lot more severe. At least, he is not a considerate person about others feelings. That, is a big no no in a marriage. Most conversations on the first date are great: everyone is trying to impress the other with their favorite life stories that are well tailored. I will pass on this man.
