Spitting out food?

So my guy is not a picky eater at all and will eat pretty much anything thrown at him except for chocolate cake 🙌. However, the last week or so he has decided to start half chewing things and then spitting them back out everywhere (which is great when we’re at a restaurant 🙄). These are things I know he can chew and has eaten plenty of previously so that’s not an issue. Please tell me I’m not the only one dealing with this because I’m about to lose my mind
