I don't understand how people can eat some things quickly. Subs are one and
salads are another. Takes me a looong time to eat a salad. Other people
seem to inhale them. I wonder if it has to do with my not eating dressing?
The fast eaters seem to drown theirs in dressing.

And it came to pass that Julie Bove delivered the following message unto
the people, saying~

Yes. Dressing helps salad go down easier, as does washing it down (if
it's dressing-less) with your drink.

Probably has to do with the condition of your choppers... folks with
poor dental hygiene have trouble with foods that need serious chewing.
Try cutting your raw veggies into smaller bits and prepare it more
like a salsa cruda. Large sandwiches like subs are much easier to eat
when sliced into manageable portions (1" thk).

Add whatever veggies you like but cut small and precisely:

I learned to eat fast in the service. It took a long time for me to
finely slow down.

I almost never put anything on salad except lemon juice and a little
grated Parmesan, and I can polish off half of a large head of iceberg
with onions and tomatoes in just a few minutes. I don't do that in
public though.
