As I was tucking into my exceptionally prepared, well made and very tasty (ready) meal. I became aware of this open mouthed cool-down chew. The one where you mouth isn’t wide open, but were in the excitement of enjoying your food you forgot to blow it and well, it’s fucking steaming and you now have the job of cooling it down in your mouth which is very uncomfortable and well, you look like a fucking idiot. The only way of cooling the food down now is to move it around in your mouth whilst chewing and by drawing air into your mouth by sucking – being careful not to choke on the delectable contents, not something you ever have to learn, it apparently comes naturally to everyone.

I feel ashamed now that I am aware of this, was I really so hungry that from putting my food onto the folk I couldn’t wait a few more seconds to blow it before putting it into my mouth? No I wasn’t. Was the food just that tasty that it couldn’t have waited another moment before being consumed, it was delicious, I have to say…. but no, not it wasn’t that tasty and I only wish before burning my tongue I had thought about this. I think this is a serious issue which needs to be addressed. I can see in the future the loss of many taste buds, the wasted food were it was so hot, people actually gave up and had to dispose of it or worst of all…. burning the pipe which the food goes down and not having a cold drink near by with which to wash it down…The thought alone of a poor man, women or child having to go through the horror of this scares me, I can hear their Ooo Ooo Ooo’s now and this is no laughing matter!!!

So think please my fellow food lovers out there, it takes not 2 seconds to cool the food by simply blowing it first, something which we have been telling our children for years but which has been overlooked by ourselves for far to long!
