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.
