I am always the last person to finish eating. unless it's a hot dog. I can't just put a hot dog down because in settings where I'm eating hot dogs, there is never a table or plate. Once it's in my hands, especially if there is chili on it, it gets consumed. When I'm at a table eating dinner, I never hold the silverware except when it is being used to deliver food to my face. I put it down and completely chew whatever I'm eating then take a drink or two of water before my next bite.
I too am a slow eater. I like to take extra time to savor the taste, and just make sure it goes down well. A couple of times I had to eat in a hurry and always had stomach pain after.
