Do you eat your food in layers?

[BubbySoup]

My gf does it, and she is getting worse! Honestly, it doesn't bother me but I do sometimes find myself watching her eat, which annoys her

For instance, a Sunday roast will be eaten foodstuff by foodstuff, nothing mixed. A multi layered chocolate bar, will have its chocolate stripped off the top, then each layer eaten individually. A corned beef pastie gets its pastry taken off the top, then the filling eaten, then the bottom layer of pastry and so on for pretty much any kind of meal you can easily take apart.

The weird thing is, something like curry she will mix in and eat together. It's obviously an OCD thing over certain foods which can be easily split.

So, is my gf alone in the universe doing this or anyone else want to fess up to this strange eating practice?

I used to eat a roast dinner like that when I was a child, then I realised it was better to have abit of everything on the fork.

Never understood people that dissect chocolate bars. Pasty thing is just weird..

 

[Illgresi]

It depends on what it is. I have a tendency with things like a cooked breakfast or a roast dinner to eat things in the order least favourite > favourite. If I have a breakfast I leave the eggs and potato scone to last, put the eggs on top of the scones and cut around the yolks. Last thing I eat is the yolk sitting on a neat little disc of potato scone. Unless there's fruit pudding, which I leave until after the egg, as it's almost like a little dessert.

With a roast, the Yorkies get eaten last.

Personal preference, It all goes down the same hole.

I prefer taking apart a chocolate bar surgically - feels strange not to.

i eat a big mac in layers

 

[Gimli]

I tend to eat my Sunday dinner by food type; potatoes, roasties, pudding, meat... you get the idea. Everything else though I just eat however!

 

[Jacksonn]

I do the pasty thing when I used to eat them... loony bin soon then. Ha

 

[G|mp]

I tend to open the pasty sideways with my thumbs holding open the pastry and then lick in broad stokes up and down, left and right in a stirring motion.

I have a friend that will do a similar thing, especially with a full English breakfast - beans, then eggs, then sausages etc.

Really quite strange, then again he is a bit of a strange fellow in general.

Haha

 

[fozzybear]

If I have cottage pie, carrots and peas on a plate, I tend to go carrots, peas and pie in that order.

Haven't a clue why.

 

[PinkFloyd]

Ok bit by bit roast dinner I can understand. But Pasty? :s

 

[Raymond Lin]

No I do not. I would take a bite of whatever food I fancy for that moment. I have even gone as far as asking the dessert first before the main at a restaurant.

Who made up the rules anyway

 

[chriscubed]

It's probably an extension of separating main course from desert. A weird extension though, sure.

 

[Ginger-Menace]

My Mrs does exactly the same

Alphabetical order. Makes perfect sense!

 

[arknor]

my ex used to ask why I studied my food as I ate..

made me watch to punch her in the face as she must have been studying me to notice I look at my food when I eat..

I thought it was normal to look at your plate but I guess some people stab blindly with their fork

 

[BubbySoup]

Right then, at least she is not alone
