I am thinking of swearing off steak and chicken all together. Even with liquid I have had some difficulty with both. I have found that milk seems to be a better liquid to wash more difficult things down with. It is VERYscary though, and each time makes you a little more nervouse but bite size and a good liquid are your best bet.
