In the Canterbury tales isn't there a great deal of this regarding the nun? The sarcasm is hardly subtle, which makes this trope old. Like, really old.

I think you mean the Prioress, and it's kind of ambiguous. It does say she doesn't spill any food, so she's not really a messy eater, but the image in the story is that she stuffs her face with delicacies and doesn't do anything charitable.
IIRC, because she's neat about gorging herself, she'd probably be more like a Villainous Glutton than this

Can this trope also be applied to non-evil, non-rich characters who are messy eaters, or is there a separate trope for that? The trope description only talks about evil rich characters...
By now, it should be clear to all except the most dense of us that sheep are secretly conspiring to kill us all and steal our pants.
"Bad table manners" is not a trope, so no. This thing is a trope because it indicates that the character in question is somewhat hedonistic.

Well, then, the Rorschach and Doc Magnus examples don't fall under this trope, do they? I think one would be hard-pressed to describe either of them as hedonists...

By that logic, isn't the page image pretty bad? The Beast isn't hedonistic, he's just... well... bestial. He's not villainous, not hedonistic, and it's not really shown as being wasteful just that he is so isolated from people that he doesn't bother with manners. Especially since his expression isn't villainous, it's more "what? What's wrong?"

Does Thor count in The Avengers? I see him chewing with his mouth slightly open and wiping his mouth with his wrist once but otherwise he's no less reserved than anyone else.
