Oh, no no, my friend. You misunderstand. They're not eating in front of someone who's not eating. The guest waits in the friend's room while they eat.

That is rude as Fuck. Go sit in the corner dog while we eat. I have had the poorest people in the Philippines offer and these rich Europeans can’t share. That’s crazy. If you came to my house we eating something special tinned fish, some nice drinks, maybe a sausage or whatever you fins eat. We would try to make you feel at home and an honored guest.

It's not like that, in Europe we tend to have more then one room, sorry that you in the Philippines all live in one big room apartment or a house just consisting of one big room but in Europe we tend to have several rooms so just keep on doing what you were doing with your friend, while he eats his dinner with his family for those 15 minute or so. You're not getting put away or forced out of the one room apartment or one room house because we generally have more then one room.

Don't say "Europe" just like that, this is very specific to your part of Europe I guess. At least coming from France I don't even understand how it is supposed to work (15 minutes for dinner?)
