I hate to laugh!! This has been an issue for me for years, even now. Before the peg, my nose was grossly full of food after every meal. I would aspirate, cough and the food went up my nose. I would blow mu nose, look at it...hamburger....fish...pasta...what ever I ate. I am NPO now but quite honestly I hake a few bites maybe every other day. Small bites, like the size if a peanut...bingo...up my nose!!! Even if I take a sip of something...like beer...bingo, I have beer in my nose!! I know that I should just not try to swallow, tough to stop, I am a bit better but always slip.
I believe the food in the nose is totally normal for "our crowd"
