So I'm still not fully grasping the pub/bar culture here.

When I go for a drink with colleagues after work or with friends for a catch up, they barely order snacks but finish 2-3 pints without issues. Many other tables also seem the same.

At first I assumed they just wanted to drink and were not that hungry, but whenever I order some snacks to share, they don't hesitate to have them. Even if I order relatively big portion of chips, they are gone fairly quickly. So I guess it's like 'I will eat it if there's something in front of me, but I don't want to/need to order myself'.

Are there any reasons why it's not that common to order snacks e.g. just feels weird to order snacks, somewhat embarrassing to order, or just being stingy?
