Food is a social glue. Interrupting a meal with bad news is considered a major social faux pas, hence the strength of this idiom. Similar usage, but often delivered with a stronger accent. The sentiment of 'cutting' the appetite remains identical. Many Mediterranean cultures share this 'appetite' metaphor because of the shared value of the communal table.
