slow eating

Unhurried meal consumption

Slow eating is the practice of consuming food at a deliberately unhurried pace, often emphasized in dietary advice as a way to improve digestion and recognize fullness before overeating.

The phrase sometimes appears in discussions of mindful eating or European dining culture, contrasted with rushed American meals: Slow eating transformed my relationship with food.
