    Depends on what goes together! But seriously I will literally throw up at the sight of chocolate covered fruit. Its really gross! I cant have it together or even near me...I like to eat my fruit separately and my chocolate separately. :)

    Depends on what it is. When I get a salad at work I like to get a plate for the salad and a bowl for the fruit. I did, recently, get in a fight with the woman working in the cafeteria, though, when she told me I wasn't allowed to do so. Long story, but I was irritated with her control issues.

    I won't eat it if it touches other food, and I eat everything in order. Being mocked at meal times is pretty normal for me, haha.

    One of the girls at work hates it. She doesnt' want her meat, potato, veg touching.

    Yet she can have eggs benedict with shredded potatos, cheese, ham all smothered together and covered in 1/4C hollandaise.

    There's more calories in the sauce then the entire dish the way those ladies take it.

    Needless to say, the only woman 'average' or 'skinny' at work is the busgirl they just hired.

    It's all downhill after 24.

    I don't know why people get so worked up over food touching. It's all going in your mouth at some point in time and has a big party in your stomach.

    I used to be really bad about this! But I notice lately that I have loosened up some on that.

    Most of the time I DO NOT like my food touching other thins. I know it all mixes togther, but doesn't mean I have to taste it all togther at the same time.

    For those of you who can't stand your food to touch, what do you do when you go to a nice restaurant and the Chef has composed a beautiful dish for you? You know that every bite should contain a bit of everything on the plate, right? All of it. At the same time. For texture and flavor and balance?

    Two years ago my brother-in-law came over for Thanksgiving dinner at my parents' house. Once dinner began we all started digging in and commenting on the food etc. etc. etc. and halfway through dinner someone asks my brother-in-law what the heck he was doing. We all look over at his plate, and he had basically taken some of everything on the table, and made a homogeneous mixture of all of them on his plate. And here's the kicker, this pile of food it took up the entire plate and was about an inch and a half high. Solid food. Mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy, turkey, green bean casserole, mashed up corn bread, and God knows what else was on the table that year. No air pockets. Just solid food. We stared in amazement at his plate. He was still sculpting his pile of food. Everyone else was almost done eating when he started eating his food mountain.

    He fell asleep on the couch about an hour later. :P

    This made me lough out loud.

    I used to mix my mashed potatoes and peas together. Sometimes if I make something like hamburger helper or some other kind of casserole I'll just toss the veggies in with it instead of eating them on the side. There are probably a few things i wouldnt want to mix (like sweet and savory... ranch on spaghetti as mentioned above, yum, ranch on cookies.. not so much).

    I always end up mixing my foods together. Today I had left over green beans, red cabbage and mashed potatoes and instead of separating them, I put them all in a bowl together and heated them up. Yum!!

    I love mixing foods, i think that's what makes it fun. Trying new flavours together. Somethings should not "touch" but then I just wouldn't generally have them on the same plate. like.. dessert with gravy or something. but otherwise..... i'm not 5yo. so........ kind of out grew that faze

    for me it depends on the kinds of food, like two "dry" foods can touch and its fine, like fries and okra or something
    but "wet" foods can't touch each other or dry foods because they'll make the dry foods soggy

    I'm totally fine with food that is meant to go together, but if my rice touches my salad, I turn into an idiot.

    I HATE when my food touches!! So do you like when your food touch?

    Nine times out of ten I mix it all together. I love mixing flavors. Unless it is a favorite flavor then I keep it separate so I can savor it. The fiancé is just the opposite. She makes sure to separate everything.

    Yes, I do! Especially when it's corn, potatoes, gravy, and a meat like turkey or ham. (Holiday food.) I love mixing it all together!

    Depends upon the food. Not really anal about the touching, but sometimes I eat them separately and others I mix. They all blend in the gut anyway! Just sayin'!

    It used to be a problem for me when I was young but I have overcome that issue and now it doesn't matter if they touch. Don't like but don't hate it like I used to.

    The majority of the time, no. If I have certain items touch another on the plate, I won't eat it.

    I used to date a guy who would segregate his fruit loops according to colour. He also complained when I made wild rice - said it would be much simpler for him if I made the domesticated kind. Ha.

    Me? I could careless...it's all going to the same place :-)
