Ricki Yasha TarrWhen you eat, do you:
Eat the things I like least first
Eat the things I like most first
Eat combination bites of all the foods
I don't really think about how I eat
Poll ended at .
Rob van Kan🔻@RickiTarr Combination bites, but I like to end with a bit of the thing I like most.
Bruce Elrick@RickiTarr All of the above, at different times. I am nothing if not inconsistent.
Wandering HermitMy granddaddy (a wise old man) told me: "Son, eat your dessert first. If you run out of room and can't finish your green beans it's no big deal. But if you can't finish your dessert, that's a terrible thing."
@wanderinghermit If we see a dessert on the menu we have to try, we have it as an appetizer, because we never end up having room lol
See? Granddaddy was right!

PassengerEvery forkful must contain a small part of every part of the dish. Anything else would be defeating the purpose of serving those things together.
Von Xylofon@passenger @RickiTarr That's some high cuisine you've got there. I'm going to let my meat and fries with dip alternate on the fork.
Mike Dolbow@RickiTarr I posted about this on the birb site pre-fascist takeover (years ago)...
Normally I lean towards "save the best for last", but it depends. Take an everything bagel. All the yummy seeds on those things fall off like an old Christmas tree losing its needles. So I eat the "better" half first, leaning over the bottom half, which, covered in cream cheese, can then catch some of that falling goodness.
And yes, I have wasted entirely too much time thinking about this stuff. 🤓😜
@mmdolbow LOL I try to get the extra bits stuck in the cream cheese of the other half
@RickiTarr I'm not alone!! 😎🤓😜
NazoAnd yes, I have wasted entirely too much time thinking about this stuff. 🤓😜
It looks to me like you've used exactly the right amount of time thinking about one of the truly important things in life. Life is too short for ruined bagels.
RolloTreadway@RickiTarr I like a combination bite, and I try to eat things at a similar rate so I'm not left with one thing at the end.
@RickiTarr I'm a great sandwich enthusiast, and a sandwich is inherently served with a bit of everything in each bite (which is why contrasts are such a great thing in a sandwich).
@RolloTreadway Hubs says I make a sandwich of all my food, things are just nice on bread or bread equivalent.
@RickiTarr Absolutely. You can and should put anything in a sandwich.

@RickiTarr
Only cook the things I like, guessing how much my stomach can handle at the time - usually wrongly.

Mel@RickiTarr I work my way around the plate - a mouthful of each thing in order but never a combination.
PS Jen@RickiTarr I just ate too many pickles, followed by toast dipped in ketchup and dry veggie links. It's day two of pickles for breakfast.
Toast, Anonymous Fedi Fungus@RickiTarr I want my last bite to leave the best taste and I am a “clean plate” eater, so I don’t worry about running out of room. But I also don’t really feed myself things I don’t like usually. But if I mess up a dish and it doesn’t taste great, I’ll choke that down first and then eat the cheese.
labria@RickiTarr how is that not a multi-select? )
GentleMan GefLike most kids I didn't like vegetables. My parents said that they taste better warm than cold, so it was best to eat as much of them as possible first so they wouldn't be so "yucky".
This turned out to be true so it is something I still do today even though I now like most vegetables!

Jace 🔥❤️🔥💖❤️@RickiTarr I eat the food with protein first.
I'm not interested in body building, but it's generally a healthy thing to do even for regular people.
Meznor UNGRATEFUL MIDDLE POWER@RickiTarr normally, eat my least favourite, and then the most. but I control what I eat! so combination bites.
if I take the first strategy (least favourite first), the exception is if I’m getting full. Then I’ll move onto the favourite things and leave the least-favourite on the plate/pack them up to eat later (because I abhor food waste, it will all get eaten).
Vereesh@RickiTarr I don't eat things I don't like.
Brooke Vibber 
@RickiTarr mostly combos, with the last bite being the best combo or individual bite
if i miscount and end up with the wrong thing as last bite it'll bother me for hours
why yes i'm autistic spectrum why do you ask
Sean Kleefeld@RickiTarr My first bite will be whatever I like (or think I will like) the most. Then I go through everything else in a relatively equal manner, but I save the last few bites for whatever tasted best. So I would need to check all three of the first boxes in your poll.
Pomegranate_StewThis is me!
Mim@RickiTarr I never think of combining things on the fork/spoon, so anywhere fancy that serves 'deconstructed' puddings is always pretty meh to me. I wind up eating spoonfuls of crumbs, then cheesy filling, then fruit, and wishing I just had cheesecake instead of bits.
Christoff, the human@RickiTarr @lisamelton the things I like least, one at a time, no mixing, and saving the best for last (ideally).
The meal isn't ruined if it doesn't work out like that but it is suboptimal. I learned to handle these things much better as an adult, lol.
RRB@RickiTarr Eat that which is most likely to kill and eat me first.
andybrwn@RickiTarr Clockwise eating
johan@RickiTarr I eat the things first that are bad when they get cold
Jenny Fx@RickiTarr A bite of each in turn but only if they go together. I won't have foods that don't go together on.the same plate.
