Foodies Share Which Dishes Have The Best 'Mouth Feel'

"Mouth Feel" is one of those things that's hard to describe, but the moment you experience it you know exactly what it is. Like art, mouth feel is up for interpretation. Everyone's palates are different, but there are those foods which almost everyone can get behind. Thankfully, we have self-proclaimed 'foodies' to steer us in the right direction.


Reddit user, u/Wakizeki, wanted to know about the best foods with the best feels when they asked:

What food has the absolute best "mouth feel"?

All The Best Explosions

This local chinese restaurant has these AMAZING dumplings. Even disregarding the fact that the outer layer is so smooth, the inside is filled with soup, so when you bite into it, there's just an explosion of flavor and a literal explosion of liquid that happens in your mouth. Really the best mouth feel of all time.

The Juxtaposition Of Soft And Crunch

Toasted sourdough with butter. Warm crunchy softness.

Gooey Textures

Giphy

A perfect grilled cheese sandwich: the crunch from the crust of the grilled bread, the softness of the middle part of the bread, the unctuous, gooey middle, then you repeat the soft bread and finish it off with the crust of the grilled bread.

If you layer the outside with cheese and put that on the grill as well, then you get some extra texture as well. For me, that bite is amazing.

Frozen, Hot Brownie

Brownie sundae.

Warm brownie. Cold ice cream.

I didn't know what my answer was when I entered this thread. Now I do.

Only The Best Pizza

Crispy pizza, not squishy pizza, if you go to a top notch Italian pizza joint you'll know what I mean

Starfall44

A nice, thin crust that is crisp on the bottom and on the crust, but still has bend and chew to it. A good tell is when both the top and the bottom of the pizza get a nice mid-brown coloration and the sauce begins to dehydrate around the edge of the crust.

Oh, also brick oven all the way.

Mousse And Squirrel

Mousse.

Like... Legit mousse, the stuff made by folding heavy whipped cream into egg whites.

It's soft and fluffy while still managing to somehow be dense and heavy. It's like if someone took brownie batter and superimposed it with cool whip while maintaining the texture of both.

It's weird. And awesome.

PolloMagnifico

Fresh-Made, Or Not At All

A freshly made good croissant. Delicate, flakey and crunchy when you first bite into it which instantly gives way to soft, slightly chewy, melt in your mouth buttery goodness.

On the flip side biting into a badly made, dried out one is just the biggest disappointment ever.

Flakiness

Baklava.

You get flakiness then crispiness then a soft squishy feel. It can depend on how you make it.

How Is This Scientifically Possible?

Have you ever had a rootbeer float and the rootbeer made the ice cream crunchy?

radpandaparty

The trick is to use your long spoon to baste the ice cream with the root beer.

Sometimes, Price Equals Quality

Giphy

Good quality macarons.

There are a lot of bad macarons out there & a lot of people have only had the bad ones.

I should add, I love the Laduree ones, they're pricey but worth the experience to eat in every once in a while & take a fancy box home. If I lived in London, I'd probably buy one or two on my way home all the time!

I still haven't tried making them myself even though I'm an experienced baker, due to all the horror stories. But I think I should bite the bullet & try it now.

Melania Just Held A Bizarre Press Conference To Debunk 'False Smears' Related To Jeffrey Epstein—And Everyone Had The Same Response

First Lady Melania Trump had everyone thinking the same thing after she held a bizarre press conference on Thursday to deny that she had anything but casual ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier, pedophile, sexual abuser, and sex trafficker.

Mrs. Trump publicly denied any ties to convicted sex offenders Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, saying claims linking her to Epstein are “lies” meant to damage her reputation. She said she met her husband, President Donald Trump at a New York City party in 1998 and did not meet Epstein until 2000, contradicting a witness statement in the Epstein files that alleges Epstein introduced the couple.

Dem Rep. Sarah McBride Perfectly Shames Nancy Mace For Her Transphobic Response To McBride's Condemnation Of Trump

Delaware Democratic Representative Sarah McBride pushed back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace responded with transphobia to McBride's criticism of President Donald Trump's genocidal threat to kill the "whole civilization" of Iran.

Trump has insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

JD Vance Dragged After Making Bizarre 'Skydiving' Analogy About His Wife To Explain Iran Ceasefire Deal

Vance addressed reporters on the tarmac at Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport as he left Hungary, where he had voiced the Trump administration’s support for Prime Minister Viktor Orbán only days before the country’s elections.

Comedian Explains How Millennials' Midlife Crises Are Different From Past Generations—And He's Spot On

Don't make promises you cannot keep, unless your goal is to hurt someone.

Millennials know that practically better than anyone. They were fed a long and impassioned series of advice, hyper-focused on the importance of getting a college degree in order to find a good job. They were also force-fed traditionalist ideals of getting married, having kids, and buying a nice house with the money they'd be making from that great job, of course.
