Zhuangzi Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I'm just curious, because I've noticed that most of the people I know eat their food in a specific order when they have an entree and sides. Link to post Share on other sites
griffinej5 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Depends on my order of preference for the items. I don’t tend to mix or go back and forth between things unless though they’re meant to be combined. Link to post Share on other sites
RoseGoesToYale Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Whatever's the main part of the meal, usually the meat, that's what I eat first. Breakfast is the exception. Eggs first, then meat, then bread/pancakes/sweet things. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I just eat randomly lol depending on what I’m most in the mood for during the given time. If I’m eating steak, potatoes, and green beans, I’ll start with any of those three depending if I most want steak, potatoes, or green beans Link to post Share on other sites

Auld_Mulk Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I randomly take mouthfuls from different 'parts' of my plate. Most of the meals I serve are presented in manner that allows for combination building (i.e. a bit of side along with some main). You might sample a spicy crunchy vegetable, then a mouthful of savory meat/fish, to a sweet starch then start combining the texture of the vegetable with the contrasting tenderness of the meat in another mouthful. Um ... I'm a foodie. Link to post Share on other sites
Member131995 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Depends on my mood. Generally I just eat a bit of everything until it's all gone, in no particular order and randomly choosing what the next bite will be. Link to post Share on other sites

timewarp Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I open my mouth, lift the food to the mouth, chew it, swallow it. Simples. Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy Alien Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I’ve never ordered two sides unless one is meant to be an appetizer or I’m sharing Link to post Share on other sites
iff Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I tend to eat the main thing last. This may be because when the plate is full, I would have difficulty maneouvering the main so I eats the sides first By sides I mean potatoes, chips, vegetables etc etc Link to post Share on other sites

Jinkx Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I don't remember the last time I ordered more than one dish at a restaurant. My stomach is small and my food choices are limited. 9 hours ago, CBC said: I literally never eat meals. I just eat one singular item of food when I feel like I need something to eat. No schedule, never more than one thing at a time. I also eat more or less the exact same few things every day, although it will change slightly over the course of weeks or months. Saaaaame.

Celyn: The Lutening Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 The entree means the "entry" of the meal, it goes first. Link to post Share on other sites
ColeHW34 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I just gobble everything up in no particular order. Then my enzymes or a blackhole does the rest. Link to post Share on other sites
Auld_Mulk Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Or @Anthracite_Impreza and @Morgan123 you can spend a 6 hour shift in the engine room of a restaurant, watching and listening to the chefs, servers and bartenders. Get your hands dirty as it were. You'll see the passion (or the lack there of) behind what comes out to your table. Kitchen Nightmares and Hell's Kitchen or the reality TV is not reality.

Goonie Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 some other way. It depends on what the food is and if there is one I like the least. I also depends on how hungry I am Link to post Share on other sites
everywhere and nowhere Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 A lot of things I eat are "mixed" anyway, such as risotto, soup, curries or casserole with pasta or rice and vegetables. On the rare occasions were I eat something clearly divided in three parts (a combination I like: soy burgers, young potatoes with dill and young cabbage) I always eat a bit of all three in turns. If we mark soy burger as A, potatoes as B and cabbage as C, than it's typically A, B, C, A, B, C, tea, A, B, C... Link to post Share on other sites
Skycaptain Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Never in my life have I had an entrée and two sides on the same plate. To me an entrée is a separate course Link to post Share on other sites

anzu2snow Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 It depends on what I get. Usually if there’s a vegetable side I eat that first. Although, at the beginning, I take a bite of each thing to taste them first. If the entree’s the best tasting, I have it last. If one of the sides is the best, I have the other stuff first. Sometimes I alternate between bites of things. Link to post Share on other sites
HonoraryJedi Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 It never occurred to me to consider the order in which I ate different parts of the same meal. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 In case I even have such discrete categories on my plate (it's not a factor if you subsist on pizza as much as I do...) Alternating mouthfuls between the different parts in a regular-ish pattern (meat - potato/rice/noodle - veggie - meat - p/r/n - veggie...). Link to post Share on other sites
Philip027 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I eat food in order of whatever I like the taste of least before whatever I like the taste of most. The side/entree thing isn't relevant to me Link to post Share on other sites
firewallflower Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I have salad or something pickled/fermented first, if there is something like that. Beyond that, though, I don't usually eat in any particular order—a couple bites of this, a couple bites of that. I do like to save some of whatever my favorite part of the meal is for last. Possibly worth noting that I almost never eat out, and when I do I almost never order more than one entree, so the above mostly applies to meals at home. All-you-can-eat buffets are another story, of course. 😋 Link to post Share on other sites
