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!)

the opposite to this - my ex boyfriend DIDN'T chew peas, he'd just swallow them straight down like a drink. Made me retch lol! x

DH does this with soup and ice cream!
Drives me insane. I'm one of those people who can't stand the noise of chewing.
I'm pretty sure it's a sensory thing. As a child, DH wouldn't eatvany food with lumps in so even now when he eats foods he can stand the taste of, he eats them as though his teeth are double checking what's in it!

Bertie your "error error" message made me roar. The exact same thing happens to me

I've found another one! Seriously, most people look at me weirdly when I say I can't take tablets

Hilarious post Katyazamo, so brilliantly described

My dad is like your mum so I can picture exactly what you mean, but I could never have described my frustration about it as succinctly and comically as you.

Also almost PMSL at your posts paxillin

And, yy BertieBotts, I also have the same issue with taking tablets, or actually just having a drink sometimes. I often end up in a coughing fit whilst trying to enjoy a cuppa. It's like my throat just wants to close up to it, can't decide whether to allow the 'swallow' or not, and I wind up spluttering drink everywhere!

I've become terribly aware of how I eat yogurt thanks to this conversation.

And FTR I'm partway between a swallower and a chewer. I seem to squish the yogurt with my tongue a bit so I taste it properly, chew any large fruity bits but swallow the rest down with no chew.

I also seem to forget how to swallow when I have to take pills, I have to have them in my mouth then take a large mouthful of liquid but then they need to be in the right position with the right alignment to go down. And I'm so bad at finding out my coffee is too hot to swallow easily until it's too late and I either burn my lip and not have enough liquid to swallow the pills with, or I burn my tongue and feel the scorching hot liquid go all the way down.
