WOW let the truth be told,lol I can't say that I ever did the chew and spit it out.I think It would be to much of a temptation to swallow once it was in my mouth,at least for me.Its funny you mention the smelling of food cause I do the same thing. It depends on what it is.If Its Chocolate I smell it and that pretty much helps me, or a piece of cake. I have this thing about how people eat.Some people can really gross me out the way they eat.I can't stand to see someone hover over their food,their nose practically in their plate. Like they haven't eaten in days and scarf it all up.Than when they finally take their heads out of their plate they have food all over their mouth.GROSS!! There is a girl at work who does this and I try not to look at her at lunch not only that but she will smell it before she puts it in her mouth.At first I thought she was smelling it to be sure it wasn't spoiled but she does it all the time.Mostly with finger food.It just turns me off.Oh well,Thats just me.
