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?0

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.0 -
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!0

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'!0

I love it. I mix everything together or stack it up.0

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.0
-
The majority of the time, no. If I have certain items touch another on the plate, I won't eat it.0

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 :-)0 -
My 8yo daughter is like that, she will not something if it touches

I don't mind my food touching, but I will only eat one thing at a time. I do not go back and forth between foods LOL.0

Yes i do sometimes i mix it together to make it taste even better, but that's just me;)
this^^ especially corn & mashed potatoes.. yuuummm0 -
My mom buys those disposable plates with the separate compartments for me for holidays. I'm not all weird about it, but I really prefer everything to be separate, and I want to eat it one thing at a time, ending with my favorite. Plates with food all piled up make me feel ill. Yes, I am a little OCD.0

NOOOOOOOOOOOO it CAN'T touch!!! Certain foods just are not allowed to mix! I will go as far as getting separate plates, and when I was younger even went as far as getting a different piece of silverwear for each item of food I had! Now, as long as it's not super messy and I can clean the fork between bites, I will use the same fork...but absolutely no touching! If something touches, I won't eat the part that touched! LOL0
-
I will mix it all together if I think it will taste good and most of the stuff I make is all mixed together. I have no issues with that...=)0

Don't like my food to touch.
Eat one thing at a time.
Usually clockwise.
Yes, I probably do have some sort of OCD :ohwell:0 -
My grandparents owned a restaurant in the 1940's that burned down. Their china was this gorgeous blue and white pattern, with partitions. Like toddler plates.
When I'm at home, I still eat my dinner off those plates so nothing touches.0 -
Wow, I didn't know so many people have a problem with this, I've never met anyone in real life who cares about food touching. It seems like a bit of a "kid" thing to me that people should grow out of.
Plus it just seems boring to only ever eat one thing at a time - you are missing out on so many great flavour combinations.0 -
no food touching. i eat on my kid's divided plates!0
