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!)

Oh, wait, you all mean Jello, like gelatin, not jelly like preserves.

Dh chews jelly. I will pay attention next time he has soup or yoghurt.

I don't chew yogurt, but i normaly only swallow half a teaspoon at a time.

Jelly, i sorta just mush it against the roof of my mouth

I don't even chew pasta lol

My DH chews yoghurt, I can hear his teeth clacking together while he eats it. I hate it!

I chew soup and yogurt Drive the kids nuts with it, but if I don't chew I choke! Very strong gag reflex.

I'm under the impression that you should swish stuff like soup and yoghurt around your mouth briefly to allow your saliva to start the digestive process. It's where your food starts to break down.

I too suffer from IBS, and taking that approach helps me a bit.

How about ice cream?

I chew 🙋🏼😳 I'm not that keen on yoghurt so I think that's why though as it puts off swallowing it. I know leaving it in your mouth is worse but it takes a while to convince myself of it! I don't chew smooth soup though but definitely chew jelly; it's a solid!

@PinkFlamingo888 I don't chew a lot of solids! I don't chew things like pasta, sweet corn, peas, baked beans etc certainly don't chew jelly, ice cream, yog or anything like that!

I don't chew yoghurt or soup but I cannot swallow a smoothie without chewing it, it just won't go down! I very rarely have them as I even disgust myself...

I'm sorry... what?!??

You can chew soup?!??

Pinkflamingo- why do you eat yoghurt if you don't even like it?

My Dad used to blow on ice-cream!

I do have a gagging reflex so maybe something to do with that

I have a strong gag reflex, brushing my teeth is torture, but i don't 'chew' yoghurt or soup. It's no different from a smoothie or something!

I've got an old back injury which prevents me fiddling around doing my bra up at the back most of the time, so i am a twister! haha

@Bluegrass I'm a mouth holder!! :o it's why my mouth always gets stained by Red wine but DPs doesn't!

Dd1 (7) does this (and jelly) it gives me the rage (not expressed obviously but still) I don't know how it's even possible

How to eat yoghurt.
Get pot from fridge.
Remove lid (DO NOT LICK LID AS THIS MAY RESULT IN CUT TONGUE (who remembers the Yeo Valley yoghurt cut tongue thread, it was a classic).
Insert spoon into said yoghurt, place in mouth.
Swallow yoghurt.
That's it. No chewing involved.

I tried to link the 'dangerous Yeo Valley yoghurt pots" thread from 18 months ago but couldn't.

I chew it, I find it a bit too thick so chew to get the saliva flowing to thin it down a bit, I only do it two or three times and always quietly with my mouth closed as I'd do chewing any food. Haha I didn't realise there was anything weird about that, I've never really thought about it and its not really crossed my mind to watch what others do, definitely going to look out for it next time I see someone eating a yogurt.

I usually put crunchy bits in my yogurt, so obviously I chew it.

If i don't add crunchy bits & it's a thick yogurt I often eat it in the same way I'd eat ice cream, if it's much thinner then pretty much just swallow it (I think).

Soup, drinks, etc...no idea. I'll report back 😂

I could have started this thread! My DH chews yogurt and we all laugh at him. I mean why...just why?

What a great idea for a thread.

I think I could actually have lived my entire life without it ever crossing my mind that some people chew yoghurt .

Why? Why? How?!!!

I thought they'd invented some new yogurt chew sweets.

You slap it a couple of times with the tongue then swallow.
