Tubes to stomachs
Gullets is the plural of gullet, the tube connecting the throat to the stomach—the esophagus.
By extension, gullet refers to the throat generally: He poured the whiskey down his gullet.
The word often appears in contexts of eager or excessive consumption: stuffing food down their gullets.
