I love a certain kind of chewy fruit candy we have here in Finland called Ässä mix. I always eat them by colour. There are 5 colours; yellow (banana), green (don't know), purple (blackcurrant), orange (orange) and black (salmiakki, which doesn't exist outside Finland). I always start with my least favourite taste, yellow. After that I can eat any colour.


I always eat my least favorite foods first. I want to finish by eating my favorite. Even M&M candies, which all have the same flavor anyway. But since I was a kid, I've always eaten all the brown ones first, and finish up eating the brighter colors. It's just too depressing for me to end up with a bunch of boring brown M&Ms.

My food has to be eaten in steps. I eat the vegetable first. Then I eat the meat. Then I eat the starch last. It must be in that order. When I was a kid my food couldn't touch but eventually got over that. My husband thinks the way I eat is so strange. I also have texture issues too..


I pretty much do that. I do mix them up though. But I aways start by eating some vegetable first, and finish with eating meat.
