It sounds like its an allergic reaction due to the trigger being foods that you are normally allergic to. I'm not quite sure why there is a string of pus/mucus though when you push with your tongue. If you begin to notice these bumps and you aren't eating what typically triggers it, I would recommend seeing a dentist. Allergic reactions can be very dangerous if you react extremely to it so I would stay away from those foods.
I guess a good example is a bee sting that some people carry epinephrine pens for to prevent airway closure from a severe reaction.
When are you due for your next checkup? If it doesn't occur again, I would just mention it to your dentist then to evalute your palate to see if there's anything there. If it occurs more frequently, I would see him immediately.
