Yoghurtgate- to chew or not

[Bintang]

Do you chew yoghurt?

DH and DD do and it drives me loopy. DS and I do not.

Do other people actually chew yoghurt?
(I think dd does purely because DH does!)

What about jelly?

He doesn't eat jelly...

DD says she chews jelly.
She finds it baffling that I don't chew btw.

Come to think of it my husband chews when there's nothing in his mouth. He'll sit there in the evening watching TV and you'd think he was chewing a toffee or something. I say "You're chewing your tongue" but he isn't literally as that would make a bloody mess, but it looks like that. I have no idea what he would do with yogurt as he detests the smell of it and would rather die than eat any.

Christ no. That is very wrong and I would have to leave the room. Is it slient or noisy?

I have to admit, I'm rather the opposite. I'm dreadful for inadequate chewing of food that needs it. It definitely triggers my IBS. I have to consciously remember to chew, especially vegetables & meat. No idea why.

I would only chew it if it was a "whole fruit" yoghurt and I found a whole e.g. strawberry in it. Otherwise no, it's just for swallowing.

Soup - depends on the soup - mostly I just swallow it but if it's Campbell's (or home made) mushroom soup then I'll quite often chew on a bit of mushroom.

I thought this was going to be about those new, odd looking Cheese-string yogurts that are apparently solid.

Who 'chews' liquid food? Utterly bizarre. Bet it's the same weirdos that hook their bras at the front and twist them around....

Come to think of it my husband chews when there's nothing in his mouth.

I just wouldn't be able to cope with that.

I gag on yoghurts but I still think chewing is odd! I just swallow it slowly.

Oysterbabe, fortunately he doesn't make any noise when he's doing it, so it's just a case of making sure I can't see him. I block him from my peripheral vision with my hand. Tbh, we're rarely in the same room, so it's not a big problem, just very odd. When he is eating he chews every little mouthful for ages and ages. Much longer than I would be able to do.
I suppose he's quite odd really, which is most unfair as I'm absolutely perfect in every way. Modest too.

Callmedollface- it's silent thankfully, or I would have finished him off years ago!

Edmund- I do the bra thing

Laughing out loud!

My DH and DSD clank their cutlery on their plates and bowls so hard it sounds as though they're actively trying to smash the crockery whilst eating. I joke but it pisses me off!

My DH clanks the spoon against his teeth when he's eating cereal and that annoys me.

Bet it's the same weirdos that hook their bras at the front and twist them around..

Dh doesn't wear a bra. Neither does ds1.

Bintang you weirdo .

TotalUnknown it was just a joke, most MN users are female...

Weirdo alert! Could no more get a bra on than fly to the moon otherwise!
Will check tomorrow at breakfast re. the yoghurt chewing thing!

I chew jelly. Yoghurt I kind of swish round my mouth before swallowing it, but definitely don't chew it. Same with soup.

I wonder what the divide is between people who swallow drinks immediately as against those who hold it in their mouth for a moment before swallowing?

I know. I should have used one of these

Well I can neck a pint of squash in seconds and DH physically can't do it. He has to drink things one swallow at a time.

TotalUnknown, sorry, misread tone

Bet it's the same weirdos that hook their bras at the front and twist them around....

It's like you know me, Edmund!

I wonder...if I offered my yogurt/custard/jelly-chewing men a bra...how would they put it on?

(They also sluuurrp their hot drinks, swallow air, and then belch )

I chew yogurt if there's fruit in it. Just to chew up the fruit bits.

If you're eating jelly, surely you've put it on toast or a biscuit so you'd have to chew it.
