If only I could recall

There have been many times when I had displayed the contents of my mouth to friends, especially my girlfriend. The sight of chew-processed food almost always resulted in provoking people to give me their most impressive expressions of disgust.

Solid foods (best if it were colourful) mixed with saliva and brought to a pasty/chunky consistency had the best effect. Liquids in the mouth tended to have a more translucent quality that just didn't have the impact that appropriately masticated solids had. That's why I cannot recall the time when I displayed the insides of my mouth, supposedly filled with banana milkshake, to Joel, any man, or anyone of the opposite sex.

You've got to see me eat cake.
