Eating one thing at a time ?

Post Reply New Topic

Yup, that's me. I eat one food thing at a time. Usually because I only make one thing at a time. I can't stand tasting two different things at once.

Ya, I'm weird like that...

So many foods are already mixes of things (Think soups for one) that the mixing is not a problem for me. It's taste and texture combos.

I cannot eat certain things though, even if it makes sense.

I grew up on peanut butter and banana sandwiches. A friend of the family used to take the peanut butter and bananas and make a blended mix in the blender. Could not do it. Texture was all wrong. REally have a problem with 'mush' except for mashed potatoes. But, I will put pickles on the peanut butter because I like the sour and sweet combo. Peanut butter must be crunchy to match the pickles crunch.

Crunch is one of my big texture favorites.

Can't eat fish unless it's fried or backed and has some stiffness. Wife likes it boiled. blecccchhhhh.....she swears I won't eat fish.

I do this sometimes. I usually try to eat up the food I don't really like at the beginning so I can enjoy the food I do like more. But I alternate between foods, too.

Yes I do sometimes.

Even without dividers, I learnt how to keep foods from getting merged or getting it touch with each other for the entire meal.
And having rice as a staple food really helps it too overcoming something like this.

I always eat one thing at a time. Even in salads. From my least favorite to favorite

This reminds me: in fifth grade the teacher called me out in front of the entire class because I DARED to eat my Chex Mix one at a time during snack time! She said, "you need to start really eating instead of just picking out the ones you like!"

Another time I was eating my chips, one at a time, in another classroom and that teacher made me physically put the chip back into the bag because I'd taken too long to eat.

Childhood was a simpler time. Or was it?

Always one at a time. I've had people say to me "aren't you going to eat that?" Or "don't you like such and such". No, it's because I'm going through each section lol.

when I'm hungry enough i'll basically hoover up all the food indiscriminately.

my army vet dad never broke himself of that, unfortunately.

definitely not healthy to cram food like that. But, it's what I do. I do not know why.
