Do you chew your pudding?

Depends what I’m having for pudding, of course. I imagine there’s some kind of translation problem here…

Pudding as in well-blended sweet stuff of baby-food consistency.

Not the UK “pudding” which is a broader term that in North America we’d be more likely to call “dessert”.

Broader in fact than that. We also have black pudding, steak and kidney pudding, Yorkshire Pudding, pease pudding…

You’re eating the wrong kind of pudding!

I know excatly what you mean! I do the same thing and my husband used to give me weird looks. He’s used to that quirk now. I also “chew” smoothies and shakes.

I sort of do this with some mushy things. It’s not actual chewing per se, but I feel like I have to sort of go through the motion to . . .distribute the food evenly in my mouth or swallowing it won’t feel natural. Did that make sense?

I “chew” applesauce, mashed potatoes, and yogurt but not ice cream or soup. Go figure.

I don’t chew well on any foods because of my jaw, but I do tend to bite ice cream from a cone.

I smoosh and swirl it around my mouth with my tongue.
I have to add that your user name qualifies this as a highly rated user name to thread title combo.

How do you “chew” pudding? Wouldn’t you just be clicking your teeth?

This. I never noticed I chew these things until this thread.

I don’t, however, chew soup. More like drink it.

Sort of. It feels like I’m miming chewing or pretend eating. I feel like this dog who’s “air swimming”.

Mostly it’s like going through the motion while I mash the food around my mouth. My jaw goes up and down, but I’m mostly just pushing the pudding or applesauce around until my brain is satisfied that it is actually mooshy after all.
