    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.

    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.

    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! LOL

    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...=)

    Usually clockwise.

    Yes, I probably do have some sort of OCD :ohwell:

    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.

    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.

    Barf! No! If I thought I could get away with eating on a kids tray with the separated compartments - I would!

    I'm impartial to my food touching. The problem I have with food is to stop eating after I'm full. My whole childhood I was punished severely if I did not finish my food. :) I'm a lot better now!

    Generally, it is ok if it touches. There are some "sloppy foods" I don't like to run into some other dishes... Greens into my potatoes and such... However, I am, by nature, a segmented eater... I eat one item at a time, usually. Now, some dishes of course are blended dishes such as red beans and rice.... Those get mixed together real good.

    I actually will purposely mix my food together into one giant plate of gumbo sometimes. Corn, mashed potatoes, and steak taste better all-together.

    No - it drives me crazy I hate it! I don't care what it is...They are separate foods and will be eaten separately. Yes, I get looks sometimes...lol Always been this way. Don't know why. But my husband LOVES to mix everything together...

    I used to put ketchup on everything, so I'm pretty chill with mixing my noms.

    NO! I HATE when my food touches if it shouldn't (main dish and side dishes)...but am ok if it is should go together (spaghetti, tacos, etc). I am so happy to see I am not alone as my bf, friends, and family all give me a hard time about it. Sometimes they even make my food touch on purpose to watch me squirm! I will push my food as close to the edge of the plate and away from each other as I can so they don't touch. If something is wet or has juice then it has to go into its own bowl. I have considered buying the kids plates with compartments but really want to not have to. I don't know why it bothers me so much but it gives me severe anxiety and have been told it may be a form of OCD. I don't care if you want to mix your food all together just don't make me look at it. ;) Mine will mix inside my tummy not on my plate!

    Sometimes I do and other time I don't... I use those sectioned plates when I don't want my canned fruit juice to touch (and sog up) my hamburger or hotdog bun I love mixing canned corn and mashed potatoes or Mac and cheese and hot dog chunks and canned corn! My favorite is mixing cake (frosting included) and ice cream into a mushy mess using a splash of milk.... MMMMM! I haven't had that in MONTHS though!

    NO!!! If it touches before I intend for it too, that part does not get eaten.

    I love it :D

    I used to eat my food in sections, one by one. But my Mum always puts her's together on her fork and I started doing it too.

    I LOVE mixing corn and mashed potatoes. So good.

    I don't mind them touching so much as I eat one food at a time. For instance, if I have chicken with a side of broccoli and rice. I eat the rice first, then the broccoli, then the chicken. I've tried to change it up and it just seems like I'm doing something wrong.

    Unless it's a casserole or some other dish that is meant to be mixed together, I don't like to mix. Also, I usually finish one food before moving on to the next (starting with least favourite). I sound totally OCD don't I? Luckily, I don't have any other OCD behaviours!

    I have a weird habit: When I start the meal, I really don't want the food to touch. Let's say I eat potatoes, beef and and beans. I will eat one chew of beans, then one chew of potatoes, one chew of beef, one chew of beans etc. When I've almost finished the meal, I mix it all together and eat it like that. :P
