I am eating, when suddenly, for the first time ever, i snort! it was involuntary and unexpected. what causes this?

You were probably talking as well and some food either lodged in the posterior pharynx or got into the sinuses, resulting in a clearing ‘snort’. I would not worry about this as it sounds entirely normal.
