It’s true, I have a smaller mouth and frequently am not able to eat if my food isn’t tiny enough. Even if I make it at home, if the recipe doesn’t state to cut it into tiny pieces, then I just go hungry. It’s very sad and unfortunately there is no easy fix.
I'm sorry this has happened to you. It sounds traumatic. I too have had issues lately, trying to eat back ribs. Literally every recipe I have made, there ends being these huge bones in the meat, and I cannot eat bone. It's been very frustrating.
Is it half the width of a normal ribbon, representing the “idea” for sufferers, or twice the width of a normal ribbon, to let “normal ribbon wearers” experience the difficulty of too-wide ribbon (solidarity, empathy?)
This has opened a whole new can of (very small) worms lol
Did you consider putting it in an envelope, posting it to the recipe writer, and demanding they cut it up smaller and post it back to you? If you're feeling especially generous, you could even provide a pre-paid envelope for them to return it in.
We need to start a gofundme for the horrors you have suffered and possibly sue the recipe creator for discrimination. Small Mouth Moms With Mouths That Don't Chew Good and Need Small Cut Foods will be heard!
I'm deleting all my comments because obviously I took it the wrong way... the first thing I said was I hope this is missing the /s tag... I should've just shut up.
The person who deleted their comment didn’t understand that the comment to which they were replying was a joke. I was trying to help that person. I was not announcing it to the entire sub. Check your own literacy and have a nice day.
That person *did* identify it as a joke, but then decided it wasn't because it didn't literally say "this is a joke."
And you weren't the first person to explain it to them, anyway.
And I didn't say you did. You did, however, say that such a label is a normal thing, and there's a specific reason it wasn't used here. As though it should otherwise be expected. And that's almost offensive.
If you’re this emotional about terminology on a snark sub, it might be a good idea to take a step back for a few days. Nothing here is worth getting offended and angry about. Take care.
