I think that's pretty common, although, as mom pointed out, it's a stupid strategy. You may get too full by food you don't like that much and not fully experience the joy of eating what you like the most. Anyway, I can't help it.

I used to do that, but now that I'm older, I eat the best first because I get full fasters - also since I'm that much closer to death, I don't want to take a chance that I might miss the best part.

and then everyone thinks i lie about the things i like because i keep them for the end 😵

This is not a weird habit, since most people I know do that for these same reasons. I, however, realised, for me personally, it's better to finish off with the least liked food because if I have that nice taste staying in my mouth, it makes me eat more. ♥

Me three...

Plus my food must NOT touch one another!

I always eat my food in an order. I don’t go back and forth when it comes to the parts of the meal. No biting a roll, then chicken, then going back. Always finish one before another.

Same here.

been doing this my whole life, and they can't mix

100%

Always save the best for last.

Yeah, me too! I think of the good food as a reward for finishing the things I don't like!

me, too!

That's normal

Same. Whatever weird quirk you have that you think makes you sound weird, there are so, so many people out there who do the same thing.

I eat all but a couple bites of the good stuff, then eat the other things, and then finish. Then I finish off with a good taste in my mouth

The Perfect Bite™©®

When doing any kind of professional tastings, you’re always supposed to eat the least pungent to the most pungent so you can overpower the last flavor with the next one. Same logic applies here, and I definitely do it.

#1 rub pillow case between fingers. Have rubbed them between book pages, this caused paper cuts. Have had calisis between my fingers for 50 years. Like the dry rubbing rough feeling.

same

Same. The only problem is that the best food goes cold.

I do that all the time!!

Me too, and my food MUST NOT touch each other. No exceptions for gravy, sauces, etc.

Yes! Same here! Save the Best for the Last!

yep yep

Same

Eat dessert first!

me too, although that would explain why i'm overweight, i should probably do the opposite, that way i could stop when i'm full, not when i ate everything in sight

Ah yes, the age old "eat your favorite thing first or last" debate I always go with the hidden third opti

Been doing this since I was a child and it does make me happy even if it's the last piece.

Do the same: Asparagus from the end, looking forward to savor the tips. Like a flash comes a fork form the side to pick up as much as possible before I can react. My husband who eats all the the tops and leaves mostly the stems. Endless fight every asparagus season.

I grew up in a clean your plate home, so I always ate my least favorite food first to get it out of the way. This habit has remained thru my adult life.

LOGICAL...

I do that all the time. I once had a packet of Wine Gums during a family holiday where I was going to leave the red ones for last because they're my favourite. Unfortunately, my dad came across the packet and when he saw the red wine gums... he ate them all thinking I didn't want them.

I do this but don't consider it weird 😕

same here!

Sometimes I do that.

I do that too.

I always do this

what if you're full b4 you get to the best?

Same

Everytime

Same here! Get the bad stuff out of the way first...

Doesn't everyone do this?

me too

I do that too.

Me, too!

haha me too!

Same here!

i do this all the time...my husband alwyas try to get my last piece ...
