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!)

If someone started to ruminate liquids I'd be in another room.

How on earth do you chew yoghurt?! It's liquid! You just swallow! Weird.

Have never chewed yoghurt... but this thread has finally prompted me to bring up a yoghurt issue that drives me utterly insane. People who insist on loudly and frantically scraping every teeny tiny nano drop of yoghurt out of every tiny corner of a yoghurt pot until the very end! It's like an epidemic! Yes, it might be a very nice yoghurt, but still, it's JUST YOGHURT - it's not the secret to eternal youth! Every single morning I have to sit in the office listening to the daily chorus of the yoghurt pots! Scrape scrape scrape... honestly - the world won't end if you leave a tiny drop! I don't get it - I do not have time in my life to indulge in that much effort for a tiny drop of yoghurt!

Yes I know I'm being unreasonable but it really does drive me bonkers! I can't say I've ever had a yoghurt that was that delicious I practically had to lick the pot! Unless it's being fed to me by Hugh Jackman (in which case he can take as long as he likes scraping every last drop and feeding it to me very slowwwwwly! Hehe!)... I can't say I've ever cared that much about yoghurt! LOL!

I do, and soup

How the hell do you chew soup? How is that even possible? Do you just hold it in your mouth and clang your teeth together?

I would basically kill somebody if they chewed yoghurt in my presence.

I'd certainly go on a second date with a plate-licker before a yoghurt chewer would get a chance. OP, it might be too late for your DH, but do wean your DD off this evil habit!

It's to get the calcium into your teeth!

Or so my milk and yoghurt chewing Grandma told me

If I don't chew the yoghurt/soup then I can't taste it properly!

But how to chew a liquid? Fill your mouth, close it, slosh it around? Push through clenched teeth?

Gandhi said — Chew your drink and drink your food — he was stressing on the scientifically proven benefits of chewing.

That's Ghandi off my "who to have for dinner" list then . Mind you, he lived such an ascetic life, he probably had to chew each nut to oblivion.

I was questioning how anyone could chew soup or yoghurt but then someone replied and said about chewing hot drinks and I realise I do this with tea! To a lesser extent now but certainly as a child, so much that if became a running family joke or I'd be told to stop chewing my tea by my parents. I too suffered with bad gag reflex and used to choke on sweets and food all the time as a child and developed severe to it happening so maybe it was like a precaution thing?

Chewing yoghurt?

Not unless it's a chunky one like a muller corner or something.

Alfagirl- my children do that with yoghurt pots too. I thought I could avoid it my using big pots and putting it into little bowls... but no, they do it with bowls too

Yes, alfagirl73 and OP, wasting a milligram of yoghurt seems impossible. It starts with lid-peel-lid-lick. First up, then diagonal. Lick the rim of the pot. Tip the corner gloop in. Scrape the little gloop corner. Stir, lick the rim again. Eat it. Scrape the bigger pot. Lick the corner pot, lick the big pot. Suck the spoon. Boak.

Oh God, this reminds me that my ex used to chew coffee and tea.

Slurp. Chew. Slurp. Chew. He'd complain that even cool drinks were 'too hot' to just swallow like a normal person

Thank christ he's an ex.

I have a friend who I've been friends with for a few years. Recently found out that her husband does drugs as he told me casually in conversation, I don't know if friend takes drugs or not. Aibu to want to end the friendship? We both have young daughters and really despise illegal drug taking of any kind. Professionally , personally and socially I can't be around someone who takes drugs.

My partner 'chews' soup and custard, clanking teeth together type stuff. Drives me bonkers.

Ah, but do you chew the Communion Wafer?
(I glue it to the roof of my mouth, where it slowly dissolves)

That's Ghandi off my "who to have for dinner" list then grin. Mind you, he lived such an ascetic life, he probably had to chew each nut to oblivion.

See I had ignored this thread because I assumed it meant did you chew the fruit chunks or just inhale them. But

However I do have a very weird thing about taking tablets. I can't just swallow it down with a drink. I will pop the tablet in my mouth, half drink some water and then - totally have no clue how to swallow. It's like I've forgotten which muscles I'm supposed to use. I can practice in advance but to no avail. I suspect my brain is just going "Error error have not chewed solid item, no entry" but it's so weird. I can sometimes just about make it work with a small tablet and a thick drink like milk or something fizzy but most of the time I'll just keep trying to swallow and failing until the tablet goes mushy and I have to spit it out.

So I have to hide them inside a chewed up ball of food and then swallow, but even then sometimes I get the forgotten-how-to-swallow thing. Sometimes I just give up and take calpol

DH eats yoghurt with a fork! Drives me up the wall!

My dad eats sandwiches with knife and fork. Fortunately, he doesn't like yoghurt, he'd probably use chopsticks.

BertieBotts If i put the tablet in my mouth before water i gag over & over again!?! I have to half fill my mouth with drink, tip head back, throw in tablet and swallow. Sometimes it fails and i end up throwing up but mostly it works!

This made me LOL

I HAVE FOUND MY PEOPLE.

Me and my mum have been arguing about her bloody yoghurt for years. She eats a fruit corner most nights because she's a bell end. She used to lick the lid until I told her I couldn't carry on this way. So now she scrapes the yoghurt off the lid repeatedly and in a way that's worse. Why can't she just let it go?!?!
Then she chews the yoghurt like a bloody cow eating grass. Then at the end she scrapes the pot like she's never been bloody fed before.
I love my mum. But not when she's eating yoghurt.
