My eating rules and habits:

  • Liquid foods cannot touch
  • Rounds of bites are taken in an order which includes at least one bite from each food on the plate every round
  • The most flavorful/juiciest piece of entree will be saved for last, with the best piece of side item to seal the deal
  • When eating a meal, I drink only water avoid ruining my palate
  • Absolutely no sweets before mealtime. This rule can extend for upto an hour easy ๐Ÿ‘Œ

I'm very similiar. #2, #3, and #5 certainly. #1 I have an aversion to many liquid foods, so it's not really an issue for me. #4 I have the palate of a 5 year old, so there isn't much to ruin.
