/ck/ - Food & Cooking

It's recently came to my attention during lunch with friends that I eat really quickly.
Apparently I've always done it, but they never said anything until now.
They say that with eating fast I'm not able truly favor the savor, but I only eat fast because the flavor is so good.
I tried eating slower, but it felt like I was punishing myself by not eating the food in front of me while I'm hungry.

Any tips on how to pace yourself?
