I’m not super bothered about what I eat last (although I definitely do that), but when I was a kid I had severe The Food Must Not Touch or it is Ruined issues. Thank Christ school lunch trays segregated all the food or I’d have starved. I didn’t have it as bad as my friend though, he’d literally puke if forced to eat one of his food aversions.
I still don’t like it, but I can get over it unless it’s a truly vile combo or texture.
I’m in my 40’s and I still cant have my food to touch, so be thankful for that. I still have some food aversions though no where near as bad as it was as a kid.
The trick I used to rely on was eating up as close as possible to the edge of wherever it had touched without actually eating any of the Ruined food. I would have little pathways of leftover foods touching each other that I ate around, minimizing food waste while also not eating anything that touched.
Fuck a sandwich that gets wet from touching something, though. I still can’t do that.
I used divided plates at home up to my teenage years, because I was the same way. I can tolerate more foods touching now, but there are some things I just don’t get. Like when one of the things on the plate is liquidy, like apple sauce, and it eventually ends up touching everything around it - rice, meat, veggies, all end up tinged with apple sauce. I still don’t understand how people tolerate that.
I can never forget the terrible line, “bUt iT aLL miXeS iN yOUr sTomAcH.” Bruh, I don’t taste with my stomach, what kind of argument is that? It’s like people completely miss the point of making foods with different flavors.
