A closed mouth gathers no foot.
I think ” A closed mouth gathers no food”
Is it correct?
No! Foot in the mouth is an idiom used to denote people who misspeak and regret it later.
To put one’s foot in one’s mouth and put one’s foot in it; stick one’s foot in one’s mouth
Fig. to say something that you regret; to say something stupid, insulting, or hurtful.
When I told Ann that her hair was more beautiful than I had ever seen it,
I really put my foot in my mouth. It was a wig. I put my foot in it by telling John’s secret; he found out.

So it is foot in the mouth is right and not food in the mouth!
