I didn’t call it a phobia, but misophonia: it’s a relatively new (controversial) disorder where people have a strong psychological or emotional respond to certain trigger sounds. It happens involuntarily.
I sat through Let’s eat just fine. Like I said before, I’ve learned to let it go. There are other things I can focus on.
I can’t do that. Taste is subjective. I’ve taking tasting classes where you are required to slurp the beverage you’re tasting, and I noticed that when I do that with liquid foods, I can figure out which spices they use / the flavor profile a bit better when I’m slurping. It works for me, doesn’t mean it works for everyone. And again, I don’t slurp my food out in public, that ramen shop / tasting classes are the only exception.
