Uhane, are you aware that your food is touching… other food.. /lh
I think there is a measure of variation in this rule among us. I do not enjoy food surprises (food prepared by others should ideally be as described ...no surprising garnishes or unexpectedly jumbled-up presentations, thank you).
However, if I am familiar with somewhere that can be acceptable if they are consistent (such Prawns Marie Rose over a Jacket Potato ... please hold the Butter and no Paprika garnish over the top, thank you).
However, if I have made the dish: I would want the protein on the plate nearest me (easier to control cutting up into bite size pieces) and I am likely to be more tolerant of mixed up food items (because there are no surprises as I know what is in e.g. my salad).
The same meal, plated up by someone else: I would prefer separated out foods where possible.
OMG - runic FH! so cool!
what did you have for lunch? Can we see?
True. Tomatoes can touch anything: they are sealed in their little skins and I like when all the veggies t ouch. Sometimes I even make a MIXED (gasp) salad! The omelet, though, as you say, is on it's own! I eat all of one thing and then move on to the next, usually.
Well spotted.
