Does your food have a pecking order?

There are four coloured candies on my plate (yellow, red, green, and orange.) They are in that order for a reason: I put them there. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve eaten food in a particular order. Sometimes this is based on flavour (as is the case with the candies I currently have.) Other times, there’s a numbers issue (I like even numbers: two red M&Ms, then two green M&Ms, then two yellow M&Ms…), sometimes it’s based on what portion looks like it tastes better (like saving that particularly engorged filled-pastry for last.)

There’s no wrong way to eat a Reese’s, but there are some odd habits we can form to go about eating our food.

How do you eat your food? Do you assess the plate and enter the meal with a battle plan? Are you an organizer or do you dive right in? Does it depend on what you’re eating?
