For example:
-
When you open a fresh jar of peanut butter do you only work through one side until it is completely empty then start on the other side?
-
Or when you get those shallow tubs of hummus does it have to make it back home undisturbed? Then one of the baggers at the grocery store shoves it sideways into the bag completely ruining the symmetry.
A bite is not good unless it has a little of each thing on my plate. The flavors must all be in every bite.
You ever just take an entire plate’s worth of food and put it in the blender to see if there’s another level to this?
I respect your opinion, but I am completely the other way.
A meal wants to be a journey through your flavors.
Each getting a small time to shine, before coming together in the end for that one last perfect bite.You know what’s beautiful? I say one thing and do the other. I am a total hypocrite. (At home, I will literally put all of the entree I spend HOURS in the kitchen into a bowl, mix it up, and eat it in front of the TV like a toddler. )
I don’t want salad in my steak bite, but stir fry clearly shows mixing food is good.
At school I always eat the salad first, drink water and then the main meal.
Smart. Have to get the worst part over first, and then wash the taste of those fresh vegetables out of your mouth before enjoying your meal.
I am actually one of those rare people, that enjoy salad (not most vegetables, but I like salad). I still eat whatever I get no matter how terrible it is. The salad is sometimes so oversalted, that is disgusting.
Asparagus is finger food, no ifs or buts about it.
Anything can be finger food if you’re brave enough.
After that one incident, I can confidently say that habaneros are not a finger food.
The 200-mile rule. Sushi is amazing but raw fish has to be trasnported somehow. If your eating seafood and are not within 200 miles of a body of water where it could have been caught… Probably best to pick something else.
Montana is not famous for its aquatic cusine.
And I too do the peanutbutter thing you mentioned.
Vast majority of fish you’re eating is flash frozen, even if you’re on the coast.
Alaska has a rule where a long as they freeze the fish on the processing boat (ie before it gets to the on-shore processing facility) they can label it as “Fresh Never Frozen.”
I don’t hate crust but I prefer the texture of a sandwich without the crust, so I eat most of the crust before eating the rest of the sandwich… I usually only do this when eating alone lol
Haha, I always save the best for last. Same thing. Whatever I’m eating, I get the mediocre stuff out of the way first.
I eat burgers and sandwiches in a circular pattern for this exact reason. So many people eat it so that the last bite is mostly bread soggy with sauces. I make sure that the last bite is from the dead center, so it’s still warm and has the perfect ratio of ingredients.
When it comes to things like chocolate bars, cookies, brownies, pop-tarts, ect., I almost always pop them in the freezer for a bit because it changes the texture.
Cookies/brownies with chocolate chips/m&ms are the best for this, because the chips get crunchy, while the cookie part is chewier.
Do you pop the pop-tarts into the toaster afterwards? They’re much better toasted imo
Nah, but just because it’d also reverse the effects of freezing them. but next time I get them, I’ll try toasting them first!
