I was partly tongue in cheek. I certainly don't spit my meals into a bucket, despite being a little overweight. But I stand by what I said about not enjoying the act of swallowing. The closest I can get is the joy of not feeling hunger anymore- but that's just the absence of discomfort. I don't understand it, but I can't dispute it.

The closest I can get is the joy of not feeling hunger anymore- but that's just the absence of discomfort. You're conflating the joy of food with its mere taste. A lot of the joy (which you might just attribute to the taste part) comes as the food is digested. Not just the joy of not feeling hunger anymore, but the various chemicals making their way to the bloodstream and releasing endorphins and such. Sugar, chocolate and co for example. Even easier examples would be coffee and alcohol. Their taste is hardly the major satisfaction factor.
