Funny enough, i dont chew anything.
Even food like rice, beans, spaghetti, noodles and other are direct swallow,
but yam, meat and fish i only break down with my teeth twice or thrice and then swallow.
Eating is stressful, i let the stomach do the stress.

I chew mine.Never knew I was supposed to swallow it until a friend told me but I still chew it..

All foods are supposed to be chewed. Drinks are to be swallowed. This aids digestion.

This is another area of North/ South divide in Nigeria. Northerners chew all foods, rice, Tuwo, eba, pounded yam and all. Southerners swallow those foods they call swallow. I swallow only water and other drinks. Everything else I chew very well before swallowing.

Always thought I was committing sacrilege against the gods of the land by chewing my swallow so I kept it a closely guarded secret grin. I chew every food.... To the extent that I even attempt it on custard and ogi.

it's only goats that chew "swallow"........ two of my Corper friends in Ibadan that use to stay with me always chew swallow.... I find it odd..... so I have to eat separately........



they can't even roll eba properly and swallow..... they will cut it roughly and put it in soup and then put it in their mouth and start chewing...... before you know pieces of the eba are inside the soup......



well it seems majority of Yorubas chew swallow instead of swallowing ....


you chew rice, beans, plantain and others before swallowing.... but for wheat, semovita, eba, you swallow it....

I do chew before until the day bone from fish stood gidigba across my throat... big ball of eba couldn't push it and i suffered for some hours ... so since that day, even if na akamu (pap), i will chew .... fear of bones is the beginning of wisdom

Anyone over the age of reason who chews any swallow other than agidi should be castrated. Especially an onye Igbo.

I used to fight with my 4 years old duaghter to swallow without chewing, but it seems to be a futile effort coz she can't swallow without chewing. I see it as a bad eating habit.

I have tried to. It is something I grew up with. I have never been able to swallow. I will choke if I do. Besides, the taste of the pudding is in the 'chewing'.
Re: Do You Chew Or Swallow Your ‘swallow’ Meals? by Nobody: 8:07am On Jun 12, 2019
I chew mine first because I usually get this fear that my throat will get injured or wide if I just swallow and now I am used to chewing
