I work in film post-production. One time, my team needed audio of people eating, so our sound guy recorded us eating our lunch with a really sensitive mic. When I was editing the audio in, it was really gross at first, but I got used to it pretty quickly.
The thing that still haunts me is the really subtle sound of forks hitting teeth. shutters

Bad idea indeed. Next time tell him he should record people using forks and knives and plates, but not any sounds that come from the mouth.
Scenes where people eat are "cleaned" very much in films. You see and hear people talking, playing a little with their food and that's that. Never the real action of chewing, swallowing etc. (unless the film actually wants to create some bad vibes)
My stepdad would eat bananas with his mouth wide open as he chewed. And he'd chew each bite for a solid minute before swallowing. Even though it's a banana and you can literally just mash it agains the roof of your mouth with your tongue. He would do this as he was driving, so I think he'd just get distracted and forget that he was still chewing food. But it made every ride to school in the morning an absolute living hell.
Nah he's just always had no self awareness when it comes to the noises he makes. Lots of loud chewing while you're trying to eat, grunting and snorting in the middle of a conversation, full-volume "whispering" in movie theaters, etc. He's not even hard of hearing or anything (dude hears like a bat, honestly), he's just a very loud guy lmao
Same. I hate eating with other people unless theirs a loud tv/music in the background. I have found that those loop earplugs help with it at least but then you have to answer questions about what those are.
My brother's wife bought me a pair a couple years ago and I was really skeptical but they are great. They also help me not get stressed out when I'm around loud children which was another big issue for me. I actually enjoy going to family gatherings now and don't have to step away to calm my nerves every 30 minutes or so.
I'm so deaf I could sit in a room full of large, sweaty men slurping chicken off drumsticks while making open-mouthed, gruntled dad noises with every gasping breath, and it wouldn't bother me in the slightest. Well, other than such a room existing, that is.
Back in the day, a girlfriend of mine eating fries and mayo. She is a professor at Leuven University now, very smart mind, sweet and handsome...but you wouldn't take her out to the snackbar because she would eat like a hungry pig.
It doesn't bother me either but I'm a glutton, so I immediately pivoted to foods I enjoyed but the torture was just that I was able to hear/watch them enjoy something I really wanted to share.
I'm torn between "no teeth (just gums) and a mouth stuffed with chocolate pudding (specifically the one that many American buffet restaurants use)" and "crunching jagged jawbreakers (or rocks)"
My captor must have had experience working help desk. I've endured people eating chips and sandwiches, chewing gum, and sniffling with stopped up sinuses right in my ear, while trying to focus on fixing their computer.
This would be literal torture to my wife. I think after watching enough movies with sound effects, eating food, and seeing her reactions it would be the sound of people eating spaghetti with their hands, audibly slurping up the noodles, chewing with their mouths open, combined with loudly smooching and making kissing sounds. They're also popping their necks and elbows throughout the process. She might literally go crazy if she was forced to listen to that for a long period.
Does homeboy not know about crabcakes? All the taste, none of the pain in the ass and paying for the privilege of preparing your own food. Just get them somewhere that doesn't use filler.
My stepdad - generally an okay Rick Moranis type and a wizard at the penny stocks - had a quirk. We found out he specifically hated people sucking the sauce off their fingers after eating chicken wings; that kind of thing.
Teeth.
How can I delete a comment from my memory?

I like how working in the film industry has made you shutter instead of shudder
Damn it! Wrong shudder speed!

This was specifically supposed to be gross. We needed audio of people chewing.
Ughh... oh, well. Enjoy! :)

So I'm gonna go with bananas.
Were you a terrible kid? Sounds super passive aggressive (and kind of hilarious)

I have a condition called misophonia. Just kill me instead. Please.
You're afraid of Japanese soup?
Fake Japanese soup specifically
Same. I hate eating with other people unless theirs a loud tv/music in the background. I have found that those loop earplugs help with it at least but then you have to answer questions about what those are.
Oh my god those loop earplugs have been a lifesaver! Started using them about a year ago. Can't recommend them enough for anyone else suffering

Live mice would be pretty messed up.
I have free-roaming cats, so that's a sound I wake up to regularly.
My wife.

I want to be in that room now.
same
Slurping on some hot soup. I don't know why, but that sound gets under my skin.
Cold soup isn't nearly as annoying.
Jokes on them, listening isn't my torture. It's seeing people eat with their mouth open and especially bits falling out while chewing. Yuck
Thank you for picking a gif that implies the thing I dislike but doesn't actually depict it. You rock 🙃
Not for the weak of heart.
Ice cubes. From a cup. That they are shaking periodically between sips/bites.
From a metal tumbler so every time they get some it's "slide, crunch, CLANK".
Something alive which can scream.
"Themselves"
Man, I dunno if I really want to explore this rabbit hole, but I'm sure that there's much-less-tolerable stuff out there. Say, live mice or something.
I was honestly envisioning foods that people eat normally, that might sound disgusting. But I don't want to be too restrictive of answers now.
Did you read the other person's suggestion about mice or are there two people here to independently came up with this grim idea?
I just posted it myself as the first thing that came to mind with something small and cute and noise-making. Hadn't read other comments at that point.
Glass.
Back in the day, a girlfriend of mine eating fries and mayo. She is a professor at Leuven University now, very smart mind, sweet and handsome...but you wouldn't take her out to the snackbar because she would eat like a hungry pig.
....m..mayo?
It's a Dutch thing..."patatje mayo".
And Belgian!
And German. And French. And Polish. And Danish. And Spanish. And I thought it was pretty universal? Guess it's European.
Anyway, fuck ketchup.
Belgian thick fresh cut twice fried fries and Belgian mayo, better than anything we Dutch serve in our snackbar
Groningse Brander mayo > Belgian mayo, but only by a little.
But Belgian cut fries are superior! Though I like Bram Ladage fries.
Deez nuts
me
Torture? My genitals and not in a fun way.
Those asmr mukbang videos. I can't stand asmr sounds in general, eating makes it worse
It doesn't bother me either but I'm a glutton, so I immediately pivoted to foods I enjoyed but the torture was just that I was able to hear/watch them enjoy something I really wanted to share.
2 girls, 1 cup?
A succulent Chinese meal?
Are you doing research for a personal project or just asking for a friend?
Ranch Corn Nuts
Other than flavor, how are ranch corn nuts different from regular corn nuts?
Smell. 🤢
Theyre delicious in your mouth, but in someone else's they fucking reek.
I'm torn between "no teeth (just gums) and a mouth stuffed with chocolate pudding (specifically the one that many American buffet restaurants use)" and "crunching jagged jawbreakers (or rocks)"
My limbs.
Ice cubes
Aluminum foil.
Doesn't matter what they are eating. Their mouth is open and they are mouth breathing as they chew.
Make it garlic then, just to be sure
Ribs. It's ribs.
My dad eating cereal. Every spoonful was slurped loudly.
My captor must have had experience working help desk. I've endured people eating chips and sandwiches, chewing gum, and sniffling with stopped up sinuses right in my ear, while trying to focus on fixing their computer.
I dont care what they are eating, but they are eating it in one of these
The sound of these things opening gives me nightmares
apples
Cottage cheese with nuts in it.
My ex-MIL has TMJ and chews with her mouth open so I’d say her eating kettle chips, jaw clicking with every bite.
Oysters
they're eating the
catpussyYou want them to eat cats? In this political climate? 😄
nuclear samyang buldak (spicy noodles).
they have to eat it japanese style where they have to slurp. i think the sounds would be too tempting asmr.

Peanuts
Bananas.
Cottage cheese.
Spoonful after spoonful of cereal with milk. Nothing worse
Honey. Licking makes me want to remove my ears
dim sum and they have a clicky jaw
Sand
Itt: people with Misophonia.
CRAB!
My hubs loves them so I get to sit across the table and listen as he brutally cracks open his food.
You know what they do with the legs, yeah?

Oh God, we were relentless.
Ramen. And they are slurping like an 85 year old man who hasn't had to care in 6 decades.
It's polite to slurp it.
I know the cultural context and respect it as different from my own.
But it will never stop being viscerally disgusting to my personal sensibilities.
Every time I just suck it up. Pun intended.
Their words.
Tete de Veau
Pudding, with their fingers
I think if I am already being tortured I couldn't care less about the sound of someone else eating.
Preferably the captor
Literally anything. They don't have to exaggerate their mouth sounds either. I have misophonia.
