Christmas Dinner Plate OCD Poll

[August West]

I have observed something quirky about one on my relatives.

When preparing a Christmas dinner plate, none of the different foods on the plate can touch.

Also, prior to loading up on seconds, the plate must be washed.

Please vote and add any insight.

This is meant to be tongue in cheek and I am in no way making light of the very painful and real suffering of those afflicted with mental illness.

I enjoy eating too much to worry about if my food touches or not. I figure it's all going to mix together in my stomach anyway

I strongly prefer no contact between different foods, but if they do touch, I'll still eat them.
Now for the dish, I am too lazy when eating to wash or change to another plate.

Amen.

I would put myself in this camp.

I used to have a problem with it but don't care anymore. I voted therapy because, truthfully, we could all use it

I may need to reevaluate my thoughts on this subject. I've never associated space between food with mental illness. OCD I guess would fall into that category. I apologize for anyone who reads my above post as anything other than the way I do it.

I have a niece and a grand-niece who are like that. I usually chuckle about it. Personally, I like all my foods to touch, just to annoy them. Sometimes, I mix them all up; that really kills them

On Thanksgiving i will mix my stuffing, sweet potato, and cranberries and put gravy on it.

Peas mixed with mashed potatoes and gravy is one of my favorites.

Same here. Corn is good, too.

You don't really like it. You just discovered (as did I) that it is the easiest way to get rid of the peas. It can get kinda ugly when you try mixing them with stuffing. Who wants green stuffing?

Zactly!

I am always willing to give peas a chance.

Whirled peas is a good thing.

I usually don't mind different foods touching but I draw the line at Jell-O. Nothing worse than melted Jell-O running underneath everything else and poisoning it all.

I don't care if things touch. My sister at one time bought a plate with dividers that she use. The funny thing is her husband dumps everything in the middle of his plate an mile high.

It's all gonna touch inside my tummy, so why not let it get some practice on the plate?
