It is not a moral question.
BTW, what is wrong with enjoying life with friends and loved ones?
Should a nationalist live like a monk?
What matter is to have an healthy kind of fun, enjoying the company of serious people and having intelligent fun.
My kind intelligent fun includes good traditional food, carefully cooked, and some good wine.
Not surely esoteric recipes or, on the other tip of the scale, multicultural hamburgers in a mcdonald ... just good wine and our traditinal recipes, even yours when I was in Istria and went to eat in makeshift restaurants along the road, where food was genuine and meat also was free from the chemicals of "progress".

OK, Kernunnos, my comment was maybe too rash. I do not think that all people, not even all nationalists, should live like monks, although I respect individual decisions of becoming monks (but they are and always will be - a minority - luckily
).
My all too rash comment was born out of my general sort-of bad disposition against certain
petit-bourgeois mentality, which I see as the pillar of the current disgusting system. I am not speaking here of people running small businesses, whom I respect (actually my vision of a healthy society/community/nation is the one where many small family businesses abound and not great multinational corporations), but of a particular mindset which infects large strata of the population, even those parasites on the state pay-roll. There is a myth of the so-called "middle class", whereof the entire society has become part (at least in theory), having all its stereotypical habits, ways of thinking, following fashions of the moment etc, the average member of which is the perfect obedient slave of the System. I was referring to that and not to small entrepreneurs enjoying their meal in some restaurant, with money they honestly earned with their work.
Really, nothing wrong with enjoying good food in a good restaurant.
