Layer cake slices must always have the frosting/icing served on the left. Then eat the cake leaving frosting/icing walls to be eaten last.

Cake is best in a bowl of ice cold milk, just enough milk that smashing up cake part makes it the consistency of a milk shake and saving the icing for last. Oh and chocolate cake with chocolate fudge icing is the best of the best.

You have to try a chocolate dobash cake!



Then there's the coco puff. I tear off the top of the coco puff and eat the chocolate first. The chantilly cream is always saved for last.

I always eat a meal in the order in which I least like first, ie eat the meat first, then the vegetables(if they are salad they get eaten even before the meat) saving the yummy potatoes until last. Fish gets eaten after the hot or salad vegetables. My daughter does the same thing.

I usually (not always) eat a meal alternating one bite of each thing on the plate until they are all gone....doesn't matter if they touch, or don't, doesn't matter what preference I like on the food. Dinner is usually between 6:00 and 8:30 in the evening (no rigid 5:00 like my parents), and sometimes, neither one of us are hungry, so we just have a small snack.

I am the complete opposite of OCD.

I think I remember my dad doing that a time or two. He didn't have much of a sweet tooth, I don't think.

I remember my grandfather on my mother's side doing the same with cornbread and buttermilk.

When eating a hotdog, the bun-split is always on the right except in those cases when there's sauerkraut involved, which requires a split-at-the-top orientation.

I do pretty much the same thing and enjoy overthinking stuff like this sometimes.

With the PB&J or PB&Honey, it's a combination of ergonomics, making sure the PB in the jar doesn't get contaminated, and being right-handed with the spreading knife.

The ergonomics and being right-handed are kinda the same. I usually pick up the right piece of bread with my left hand after getting the PB on the knife or spoon (in my right hand) that I'm using to spread it with.

Spread it on, then put it down, then use the same utensil to get the jam (always grape), then pick up the left side slice and put it on.

Then slap that slice onto the PB side.

The reason for getting the PB first is because if you get the jam first, then dip it in the PB, you are getting traces of a refrigerated item in the PB jar, and I assume that can grow some nasty bacteria in the PB.

Honey, probably not so much, but I'm not gonna take any chances, so it follows the same protocol.

See... I told you it's fun to overthink it.

In reading this thread, I have come to the realization that you never can tell if people are on the dope until you know their sandwich habits.

Peanut butter on slice, jelly on top of peanut butter. Cover with other slice.

Actually what happens with most Jellies is the PB sucks the moisture out of it causing it to crystalize so the next time you make a samich you have this rock hard chunk of jelly in it.

Using a knife & fork to eat pizza? PHILISTINE!

I had a favorite pizza place... they also made a really good Caesar salad, and good pizza, and spaghetti, and cold beer on tap.

I would drive my 944 on a nice windy road to the pizza place, stop at the market on the way and pick up a copy of Excellence, park where I could see the 944 from inside and eat, drink, read.

When I got spaghetti I like a little spaghetti with my Parmesan cheese, sort of like Italian mac and cheese, always cracked up the lady who owned the place to see me eat it like that.

When I was a kid I had butter and jelly sandwiches instead of peanut butter and jelly. And if you fixed my butter and jelly sandwich after fixing a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and got even the slightest trace of peanut butter on my sandwich, I would not eat it. I did not like peanut butter and jelly.
