I guess I'm lucky, Fister normally doesn't beg for food - unless I'm preparing raw liver or raw white fish. Then he'll come running! When I have lunch, he will occasionally jump up on the table, he may just have a quick sniff, but unless I have shrimps there, he can't be bothered. I will sometimes scrape a bit of paté off and he'll eat that, plus cooked ham and cheese. In the evenings he likes a bit of boiled corn.
