Deuteronomy 12:7

And there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein the LORD thy God hath blessed thee.

There ye shall eat - of the things mentioned (Deuteronomy 12:6), but of course none of the parts assigned to the priests.

Before the Lord - in the place where the sanctuary should be established, and in those parts of the holy city which the people were at liberty to frequent and inhabit.
