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.
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.
The food doesn't matter if the person eating is my dad. He makes loud nasty noises no matter what he is eating. Once he is done eating the noise continues for 10 minutes because he is cleaning his teeth with his tongue.
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.
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.
