but it doesn’t touch in your mouth, and that is what’s important, though I never did that with tacos.
nothri
Ummm….yes, it does. But by that logic any combination of food could be combined on the outside. And I am not pouring my mustard on pickles into my milk shake, thank you very much.
Well, if you’re going to eat mustard or pickles you have to face the consequences.
Some flavors don’t go together, but what does that have to do with obsessively separating all ingredients of your food because they touch each other?
VZG
They taste better separately, just like pickles, mustard, and milkshakes taste better separately.
Some foods improve others they’re paired with; some don’t. As for the “bluh bluh who cares if they’re touching,” if you’re sensitive to those things (particularly if you don’t like the mixed tasted), even a little bit of contact can transfer taste, or ruin a texture, and make it taste worse.
But I don’t put my food together and then take it apart after just so other people don’t think I’m weird. I ask for/get for myself the things I actually want, the way I want them.
Kintrex
When you say milkshakes taste better separately, do you mean you drink the milk and eat the ice cream and fruit individually?
That reminds me of those old slim-fast infomercials where some dude would put everything you ate in the day in one big glass bowl to prove how unhealthy your diet is. Coffee, cornflakes, sandwich, fries and ketchup, dollop of ice cream, mix it all up in one nasty mess. The audience would scream and gag.

I had a niece who was a picky eater. I made that exact point. She was traumatized for a week, and her parents were not happy with me for quite a while.
The_Master
“Had” a niece? I guess she was so traumatized she shuffled off?
Give her a bowl of gumbo… see the fear on her face….
Usayasha
As a picky eater myself, I can tell you that gumbo is nothing before my might. Merely pick out the parts you like first, then feed on the broth, then pick out the leftovers. For last, finish the rice (if you are eating gumbo on rice.)
I’m fine eating pizzas and tacos the way they are, but for trail mix and looser items I usually like eating a bunch of one kind, then a bunch of another kind. It just tastes better to have concentrated flavours sometimes then everything mixed together.
I do that, then I start running through the combinations…
It’s a good thing there are a lot of skittles in a bag, that sort of process can get difficult with shocktarts.
I must separate out Wine Gums, then go through the colours in order of worst to best, usually eating the yellow ones first, saving the green ’til last. Otherwise what’s the point in having them?
I used to work in a cafeteria-style restaurant whose claim to fame was offering 15 different kinds of pie every day. (Guess how I spent my meal allowance.) Anyway, I never could figure out what was odder, the folks who left the edge of the crust (um, it’s made of the same stuff as the rest of the crust, and the you-need-filling-with-crust argument doesn’t work if you eat your pie from side to side rather than from tip to edge) OR the people who only ate the filling and didn’t touch the crust and spent $5 (adjusted for inflation) on three tablespoons of pie filling.
You’ll find no sock-puppets of the big bread companies here! Just concerned fellow-citizens who want you to do the right thing by yourself, your country and The Children. Buy Bread!
The crust touching filling is softer and has absorbed some of the filling’s flavor. The stuff sticking out on top of the edge is just a dry, crunchy breadstick that used to be attached to delicious pie.
That’s easy for the pie crust dilemman, you just eat the slice from the back, or just take big enough bites that you still get crust with your final bites.
I had no idea that people would ever do that to tacos, and now that I know it’s freaking me out. Like, without constructing it you’ve got spiced mince, an awkward nacho and a rubbish salad. Why would you bother?
Also there’s a very strong element that if you never eat things with each other then you’ll never truely appreciate food.
There’s no “true” appreciation of food except appreciating food. Some of us appreciate it better when the tastes are separate.

I have seen red paper, green paper and blue paper. All images consist of red, green and blue in my eyes, therefore I have now seen everything worth seeing. I don’t need no stinking paintings. Or videos. Or comics.
>_>
VZG
Yes, that is clearly exactly the same thing, and not at all like comparing separate types of art to each other. I mean, if you can’t appreciate video games, you can NEVER truly appreciate any art, ever!
Groove
This went hyperbolic quite fast but the colours example is actually quite fitting.
You might prefer individual tastes, and that’s fine! You like what you like. But you really are missing out, and the entire history of gastronomy would back me up on that.
DarkVeghetta
There’s always the possibility of defective receptors.
Like cats. Cats can’t register ‘sweet’ with their tongues.
When I get two dishes on the same plate for lunch, I try to haul them apart just so I can taste them separately, but I don’t dissect the things that are meant to be one food.
There is nothing to understand, it is just what someone likes. One cannot explain or use logic to decide what flavors they like or do not like, and those who separate/ mix foods or love/ disdain crusts should not be denigrated for something that is not a choice.

I separate pizza when I eat it. That way I can decide which of the deliscious flavors is strongest at the end.
Mr. Random
I eat skittles one at a time. Because I must see the color I’m going to eat.
KingMabel
Weird, I see the colors after I eat them, though it may take a few hours…
Plasma Mongoose
It doesn’t matter if you put different coloured Smarties in your mouth, if you suck on them enough, they will all turn white.
KingMabel
And in the end, colors don’t matter, because they all come from the same factory. Just like humans.
Plasma Mongoose
There is no black or white, only Soylent Green.
KingMabel
I’m not sure if you keep one-upping me, or if I just give really good set ups…

I go with the latter, when I post comments in CRACKED, I am pleased whenever I get lots of thumb-ups and/or clever/funny replies.

I agree. Once the foods have touched each other, all hope is lost to separate them. You must never allow them to touch in the first place.
