re: Food OCD- what is your quirk?

I prefer this not to happen. I actually have some very cool ceramic sectioned plates that I use a lot for this reason. I don't mind the roast and rice 'n gravy touching because it's all the same, but I don't want the juice from the peas or the dressing from the salad running into my gravy or on my protein or other sauce. I want to taste the individual flavors. If I wanted them all together I would have cooked them in one pot or pan.

I feel the same way about wanting to taste the individual flavors.

My section plate is a white plastic plate with farm animals on it and the ABC's printed around it. I have literally had it since I was a kid. I will be crushed if something ever happens to that plate.
