   Seriously, why do some people dislike their food touching another food on the same plate?

   Dunno. I can’t tell you, and I’m one of them.

   Because we prefer to eat one food at a time. Sure, it all ends up in one place, but there are no taste buds in the stomach.

   Petey, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!

   Just what Miss Bliss needs… a classroom full of picky eaters.

   I must sometimes remind myself that, despite his precociousness and and old-beyond-his-years ways, Petey is only eight himself, and Alice four. His OCD-like mannerisms are a wonder to her, a point of pride for him. Miss Bliss, on the other hand, will just need to survive with her sanity intact….

   First I would eat my vegetables, then my potatoes and gravy, followed by my meat.
   Oh yes, I was the master of my plate until the day my mom served stew….

    Same here!
    

    
    Even as an adult I hate food that touches, and will cut off those edges and leave them uneaten.
    

    
    I am delighted to find that I am not as odd as my family think i am. Perhaps we should form an interest group.

    I’m fine with that, as long as it’s only imitation shepherd.

    I’m not interested in your interest group. Do you separate your tomato & lettuce from your hamburger? Pickiness leads to jundgementalism. You haven’t lived til you mix your meat loaf with your mashed potatoes, and add catsup on top. A SUPPER SUNDAE!!!!! Yeahhhhh….

    As I recall, Petey is in some kind of picky eater’s (or eaters’?) club that takes off points if you eat the wrong thing, like maybe stew or shepherd’s pie.
    A computer search turned up
    http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/200701/the-grown-picky-eaters-club
    which led to
    http://pickyeatingadults.com/

    The latter url is a support group for picky eaters of all persuasions. I’m not a picky eater myself, but have a few things I’m not wild about, like Russian tea, leek soup, and la sagna. (Who wants to waste one’s pasta-eating on a non-spaghetti substance?)

    My daughter made a hole in the middle of her cerial and asked me to pour the milk so it was only in that hole and not touching rest of the cerial. She was crushed when that didn’t work out.
