So yesterday, I was eating some Dimsum with my family for lunch, and I was so hungry I could literally gobble a pig down. As soon as the first round of food showered upon our table, i instantly started gobbling my portion. But then my parents were like "Hey dont eat too fast, enjoy the flavor of the food more."

Personally I find this to be bullshit

I've tried doing what they've told me to do but when I leave the food in my mouth like a second or so longer, it turns into tasteless mush. I acquire the full taste the moment the food touches my tongue. And alot of the enjoyment comes from swallowing the food before it turns into tasteless, saliva-soaked mush. That's just me though, what about you guys?

When I'm moderately hungry, I tend to take my time. But if I'm starving, then I wolf it down fast. My parents were never on my balls about eating speed, lol.

Food is a requirement to live, not a luxury. I'll eat however fast I want.

I tend to eat slowly, but not really to enjoy the flavor of the food, I just hate eating and see it as somewhat of a task, a task that I go slowly at. But I think you should eat however you feel like, fuck eating slow because someone else thinks you should, and fuck eating quickly because someone is in a hurry. :P

You're supose to chew your food and not gobble it down too fast so you can have more quantities. I do that at buffets so I can take advantage of all you can eat and still enjoy the flavor.

I am pretty notorious for eating quickly, not chewing, etc.

I have bad table manners when I'm hungry, but I'm working on it.

I eat normally, but yeah, eating slowly is supposed to be better for you isn't it? However, eating fast is generally better, wasting time eating is noob.

Heh... my parents don't really care about how fast I eat. If I'm that hungry, I usually just try to get it into my stomach as quickly as possible. Otherwise, I eat a lot slower, because I'm not concentrating on it.

It's been 14 years since my first and last bite to eat. No one cares how long it takes to it when you're THIS hard. :mad:

I eat like 3x faster than anyone in my family and about 3x slower than anyone else I know, so..

My parents don't care how fast I eat.

"Three can keep a secret, if two are dead." -Benjamin Franklin

"Had, having, and in quest to have, extreme;
A bliss in proof, and proved, a very woe;
Before, a joy proposed; behind, a dream.
All this the world well knows; yet none knows well
To shun the heaven that leads men to this hell."
-William Shakespeare

I too am constantly pestered to eat slower, even by my dad, who at the same time is eating faster than I am. It's ludicrous. :><:

Well, I've heard that chewing your food more thoroughly, not necesarily eating more slowly, makes it easier to digest, although I've no idea if that's even true, and if it is, how much it actualy means.

Personally, I eat at whatever rate is comfortable. If I'm busy, it's slower, if I'm not, it's faster. Sometimes I'll take a bite, chew on it for a while and swallow it, or sometimes I'll swallow it almost - or occasionaly entirely - whole. My mother doesn't bother me about it, she actualy eats faster than me, on average.

Well here's the question that I'm mainly trying to ask: does eating slower allow one to acquire more taste of the food?

Depends what you're eating. :P

Yes. Spending two seconds chewing my food is far more effective than swallowing it whole.
... >_>
Besides just how fast and how slow, and what kind of food you're eating, it also depends on how you vary your speed. Sometimes I spend a few seconds inbetween bites, or I move my chopsticks more slowly, I might spend more time messing with my food, or other such things - and of course then there's just taking longer because I chew my food longer.
And there's also the question of whether 'more taste' is necesarily 'more enjoyment.'
And...
