I too have had this happen to me on a few occasions, every time, I choked on lamb. However I did learn something valuable. coca-cola is your friend. The combination of the bubbles and the foam makes the chunk seal the passage better, and hence easier to dislodge. In addition if that does not work in short order, coke is so caustic that it quickly partially dissolves the chunk of food so that it can go down.
This happened for the first time after I had some dental work done, and I think that my chewing efficiency has been decreased.
