Do you eat your food in layers?

If a meal is made to be eaten together (curry, paella etc... - basically rice and pasta dishes) it all gets mixed in. If it's something where my plate is clearly meat, veg and carbs on the plate. Eat the veg first, then the carbs, then the meat.

Basically this, as a general rule, I eat what cools fastest first as I don't like cold food, that's usually veg. Whether I go for carbs over meat depends on the thickness usually.

I would probably go peas before carrots for the same reason, unless they're baby carrots in chopped into small pieces, then chaos!
 
With chocolate bars such as Kit_Kat or Blue Riband I have been know to eat these from 'above' and to try and separate the layers.

With things like carrot, if there is a chunk I will often eat the outer layer and then go for the core, which is particularly tasty raw. Or at times with bananas, after taking a bite to expose a cross-section, then I'll poke my tongue into the middle to split the three segments and take bite from one segment at a time. :o
 
I just eat the lot at once. Better that way, apart from the eggs in a fried breakfast. The yolk is left till last, resting on whatever I can use underneath (Sausage square, toast, etc.)
 
I eat anything and everything that my spoon/fork/chopsticks/hands can gather, apart from pork crackling, that's always the last thing on a Sunday Roast.

Oh and I do the weird thing of cutting around a sunny side up egg, eat the white then leave the runny york last in one gulp. Not really OCD, more preferrential treatment on food.
 
I have a friend who eats the food off his plate section by section. Give him a lamb lunch, and he'll eat the veg, then the mashed potatoes, then the lamb, etc. He never mixes his food-types on the fork.

But he is a weirdo, and so I proclaim your girlfriend to be a werido too.
 
I usually dont eat by layers. If I was eating chips, fish fingers and beans for example, I'd want a bit of fish finger, a few beans and a couple of chips in every forkful if possible. I like eating things together to combine the flavours.

Yeah, me too. The flavours in the recipes were designed to be eaten together. I can't understand dismantling a chocolate bar or burger and losing the synergy of the flavours.
 
I tend to eat warm veg first just because it cools down quicker than protein and carbs (or at least seems to), but my meat n carbs are interchangeable, mixed together, whatever.

I do eat chocolate bars by biting off a piece of sucking it to meltiness, I never chew chocolate.
