(For example; chewing gum, caramel, Turkish delight, hazelnut, pistachio, roasted chickpeas, quince; hard edges of pastries such as toast)
You should eat hard fruits and vegetables such as apples, pears or carrots by chopping them with a knife, not by biting them. You should eat small and seeded foods such as olives and cherries carefully by removing the seeds. Chocolate should be broken by hand and eaten by melting it between the tongue and the palate. The bites should be taken into the mouth by cutting or tearing in small pieces.
