To tell my friend to shut her mouth

[WhatALiberty8]

I have a friend of around 6 years, we meet up once every couple of months. Sometimes just the two of us, mainly as a foursome by including our husbands. We either go to a restaurant, or we’ll take it in turns to cook and host.
I have no clue why but the last few times she has started talking with her mouth full of food. Not just a little bit either, literally stuffed full and spilling back out with every word.
I noticed the last time that her husband looked embarrassed by it. My husband thinks I should ignore it and get over myself. I’ll admit I can be annoying with how irritated peoples table habits (mainly DH) make me.. Think normal food noises/cutlery scraping noises, I’ve always hated this. But surely everybody finds talking with your mouth full grim. I’m genuinely concerned about going out again incase I throw up on her!
I think it’s reasonable to pull her aside and say… What the hell, you need to stop talking with your mouth full. What do you think, would you say anything?

So you'll let the friendship fizzle out because of this? - then you dont like her OR the friendship doesnt mean that much to you anyway, sounds like that best for everyone then OP.

I'd probably say something at the time, like make a joke of it or something. If it was me eating with my mouth open I'd accept one of my friends saying something. I wouldn't take her on one side later; that's a bit cringey

The new Just Eat or Deliveroo advert with Jude Law is the same.. He’s so noisy and I hate it with a passion.

“Say it don’t spray it!” Is the phrase you need to employ here.

Yes, I could ignore it. I can ignore young children or people with eating difficulties or people with bad table manners.

I think you seem over-affected by it , which is often a response to someone behaving in a way you wouldn't feel permitted to do yourself - the negative feeling is more to do with you than her.

Fair enough 😬 It’s up everyone what they deem acceptable. Like the use of certain words. I don’t use the c-word in front of a certain friend as she finds it offensive. But I might use it in front of someone who I KNOW doesn’t mind it.’

Only if you are 5 years old though

It’s a better option than telling her off about it 🤷‍♀️
