How many times do you chew a bite of food before you swallow?

Question

Never paid attention...? You might now...

Answer 1

Who needs teeth when you've got soup?

Answer 2

32 times keep your tummy from danger so you can stay up and watch The Lone Ranger.

Answer 3

Strange as it seems, I have never counted.

It does seem to depend on the type of food.  Steak, the cheap stuff I buy, takes a lot more chewing than mashed potato.  Stuff that tastes good, like ice cream, gets more chewing than stuff like brussel sprouts that is almost not edible and tastes poor.  Good for you though, ir so I have been told.

Answer 4

Until it tastes like flavorless mush. That’s a good time to swallow.

Answer 5

I think 

A lot
