If it burns your fingers, how does it not burn your mouth?
Of course it burns your mouth, there's not much you can do about that. But your can at least protect your fingers.
I honestly have eaten hot food that has burned my fingers but not my mouth...i don't know why and I honestly cannot recall why i continued to eat after my hands were burned... I am probably going to get mouth cancer later on in life...
I'm pretty sure your saliva helps cool it down a little. And most people salivate when there's hot food in their mouth.
