When I am served a plate of food with various side dishes, I rotate my plate briefly so that the main entree is in front of me.
When eating corn on the cob, I work a group of rows completely and then turn the cob to get the next few rows.
Like @tranquilsea I eat my food in a purposeful order, depending on what is on my plate.
My first food of the day must be something I would normally eat for breakfast, no matter what hour of day it is.
I just won’t eat lunch or supper food, no matter how delicious until I have had some breakfast.
@Pied_Pfeffer I commit the same toilet paper “crimes” as you do.
I make it a point to never walk under black cats
If the stove top is not clean, I won’t cook on it.
If there is not room on the counter because of clutter or unwashed dished, I will not start preparing a meal.
I can tolerate clutter but I hate it when the house is dirty. I will clean it when it bothers me.
My wife can’t stand clutter but is less fussy about moderate amounts of dirt.
