  Learn to be ok with taking the L and spit food that is too hot back out of your mouth instead of swallowing. Also, test the temperature with smaller bits that will cool inside your mouth easier before going for a big bite.

    Too late. I have a hot potato piece in the esophagus right now. I don’t need preaching, I need urgent advice.

      I need more information. Are the potatoes stuck in your throat mashed? Or if they aren’t, are you able to get a masher in there? Might help loosen it up and make it more delicious if you add some butter and milk or heavy cream.

        I mean, the first piece has gone down by itself, but you’re just in time for the second one.

        It’s mostly intact and is simply boiled with a shitload of butter and milk, but I think I can get a mixer down there, so the situation is adjustable.
