A tale by Herman of Bologna in the Viaticum narrationum (ca. 1280–1290) describes the rather comical story of how a Jew of Cologne, having received communion, kept the host in his mouth; when he removed it, he discovered that it had turned into a tiny child. When he put it back in his mouth, it had become so hard he could not chew it or swallow it, and eventually, admitting the miracle, he was converted. This was in fact the first literary tale in which a Jew ingested the Eucharist. Many versions of this tale continued to be circulated in the later Middle Ages.^172^

Why would you put the child back in your mouth and attempt to chew it!?
Is it because you are a Jew as written by a 13th century Christian and are therefore operating on a "see a child, eat a child" system?
13th century Jewish guy with pica:
So I put the child back in my mouth, which was the style at the time.
