So if the steak dinner in your stomach was just about “finished” processing and ready to pass to the next organ, what happens when a beer and a bowl of pretzels enters the mix? Does the stomach suddenly go “dammit man we were *just* about to move on! Now I’ve got to start *all over again*!” and start reprocessing? Or are the new food objects just left undigested and lumped in with the rest of the food clump that is passed on?

It’s not a “I am completed with this package here you go there next stage knock yourself out” process.
It’s a “chemicals are removed and passed on in various orders depending on how filled the digestive process already is” process.
You’re not a first-in-first-out organism. Further, you’r e also not a fastest-in-fastest-through organism.
If your innards are not otherwise busy, you process liquid foodstuffs far faster than complex organic foodstuffs like high-fibre proteins. But that processing takes time for the more filling types of food you eat, at least in most cases. Pack your stomach with wagyu-steak fats and proteins, and it’ll take a while for everything to sort itself out even if you gorf down an ice cream sundae afterwards.
