Yes actually but people tend to poke out at this. I tend to eat certain foods one at a time by color, usually stronger colors to none colors. I also have a dencency to eat a food by one color only for as long as I can. That color is orange.

I have lots of little food rituals - it's a long list so I won't include it here. But yes, I very much need to eat food a certain way.

I do, but it depends on what it is. For example, I can only eat cheeseburgers. I also have to make sure the ketchup is always under the patty, and not on top of the cheese. If it is, I can tell, and it tastes really funny.

So, do you have to eat things a certain way?


Yes! I do prefer to eat food a certain way. I have all sorts of idiosyncrasies with the way I eat.

Depends on the food, but I do eat some foods a certain way, I'll explain two.
Pizza
1) eat the cheese
2) lick the sauce off
3) eat the crust

Ramen (after it's cooked)
1) drain the water from the noodles
2) pours chicken packet on the noodles

I could probably eat them the way people usually eat it, but I prefer doing it this way. (For the pizza you can enjoy each layer wonderfully. And the ramen isn't watery this way, I hate it tasting watery. >_<) Oh, I eat other foods certain ways too, but these are the only two I can think of right now.
