I'm in the zero to ten camp for most foods, but right there with you at 47 for fatty meat of any kind. It feels disgusting in my mouth and to swallow it without gagging I need to basically cut it up with my incisors into smaller and smaller pieces until the texture disappears.

i think i generally chew maybe.. 6-10 times? but depending on the food i can either chew a lot more or a lot less, soft foods like well-boiled spaghetti just don't really make sense to our brains and so we don't chew properly.

I mean it depends on what you eat ofcourse. Its just a linear change between soup(0) and crackers(idk maybe 10).

Like a mouthful Spaghetti doesnt need too much like maybe 4-5 times for me, but i have seen plenty of people who almost swallow pasta unchewed. Something like meat or carrots or whatever needs some more to get it to a small enough size to swallow and it just keeps going up with size, hardness and dryness.

There's a Calvin & Hobbes strip that would apply perfectly here, but I can't find it. It features them discussing how many times it's appropriate to chew food and the punch line is "maybe marshmallows are the exception." Unfortunately, I couldn't find that, so here's the closest I could:

Is this bad? Maybe I have it because I'm similar.

A few minutes per bite?!?

afaik its more based on time than number of chews, food generally spends about 10-20 seconds in your mouth if you aren't in a rush but it depends on the food and individual
