Do you eat things in parts?

I was just eating a cupcake, the last one actually, and I separated the icing from the cake, and ate the cake first. Almost every morning I have my bowl of Lucky Charms cereal, and I try to get spoonfuls of only the cereal so I can eat the marshmallows last. Sometimes when I'm eating Oreos, I separate the creamy filling from the cookies, eat all the cookies, and make one triple-cream cookie. It's a childish habit, but who else does it?

I've always seperated my food. I love to lick off the frosting from a cupcake as well. Also I have to keep my food separated on my plate...You know like when they give you a tray in the elementary school cafeteria. It stuck with me I guess. Brownie edges and good to save for last too. mmmmmmmmmm

Oh yeah, how could I ever forget about edges and corners! They normally vary in taste and texture, as though the flavor got concentrated in those spots.

I always eat Oreos like that too. I also have a habit of eating the chocolate off a Skor bar before I eat the toffee. Sometimes when I eat pizza I will just eat the toppings off the crust if I'm getting full.

Sometimes I do that. It all depends on the mood I am in and if I want to make it last for a long time or if I have a crave for certain parts of it first.

Yes, I definitely have 'rituals' for eating certain things! With cupcakes, I don't separate the icing and the cake, though - I make sure I have exactly the right amount of icing with each bite of cake. And I save the part with the cherry until last!

Hi Sheepie, When I am having my breakfast cereal, of Special K I eat all the flakes first and then the fruits last. Tamara

i think maybe one sentence just can generalize your behavior -------------------------------- that is "save the best for last",do you think so?

LOL... That aggravated my mother to no end when I would do that. She always said it all goes in the same place stop playing with your food. But somethings I still do that with.
