Considering the post history, at this point I can only assume that the eating and shaming is part of the OP’s fetish. No other reason for someone to keep doing such specific actions related to food and keep telling people about it without changing. Our shaming of them in this thread is just part and parcel of it.

Keep in mind that he was probably taken by surprise and shocked by the whole, unexpected episode. That kind of freezes you up which, if you think about it, might be better than just popping off with the first thing that comes in your head.
