Is it impolite to fart at the dinner table?

I have a number of friends with Eastern European back grounds. I have
noticed that when we get together for dinner, most of the men and some
of the women fart loud and fart often. Sometimes is really stinks. There
is no apology or a polite "excuse me" after each toot. When I complained
about this to a friend, she explained that it is a cultural thing. It's
supposed to be a compliment to the chef. Am I wrong or should I speak up
and let them know that they're pigs.

Just point out that farting is actually a compliment to the chef for food
they ate yesterday, because of how long food takes to be digested.

Belching is much more appropriate.

What do You do when you must fart?

I love farting, especially when I must.

You know how many times a day a man farts? 20 or so.
Y0u know how many times a day a woman farts? 20 or so.0

I recently got together for lunch with a couple of ladies from my cats
group. I won't mention any names, I'll just refer to them as C and J.
After a hearty meal of chili and beans over rice, J let out a wicked
one. It was loud and it reeked. After a moment of tense silence, I said
"can't you at least say 'Excuse me'?" C jumped into the conversation
saying that a good, loud fart was perfectly acceptable. When I was asked
for an explanation, I was told about the eastern European custom. I
asked J if she were from eastern Europe, and she replied that she wasn't
but did embrace their custom. C then let out a silent but deadly. I
nearly puked. In the future, I wish they would belch.

As I sat by the Duchess at tea.
She said: "Do you fart when you pee?"
I replied with some wit,
"Do you belch when you shit?"
And felt that was one-up to me!

True, Jill's from a British background if I remember correctly.

Men are supposed to fart. When a man does it; the louder the fart, the
heartier the laughter. When a woman releases a bomb, everybody's
reaction is "That nasty bitch!" followed by stares of disgust. As a
woman of size, I can blast them with the best. I would love to stage a
competition to see who can fart the loudest, the most powerful, and
could kill a beast with the stench. I nominate my sister Fanny. After
she out-farts all the competition, she can spend the rest of the night
getting drunk and beating the piss out of anyone she feels disrespected
her. This competition needs my friend Thomas.
