Different Colour Foods Touching Each Other.

Post Reply New Topic

Never have liked cook egg or boiled egg, scrambled egg etc., but I am not too bad with raw egg, though it has been years since I have had one.
It is both the smell, taste and the texture that I don't like about any form of cooked egg... The smell and the texture are the worst for me.

Something I should say and this is regards to why it is not related to OCD. If I found two foods touching each other in the past, I could not swollow them as my stomach would churn with a gagging feeling. It was a "No way".
It is why it took me so long to get over it with foods, and though I do not have the same gagging stomache churning effect with non food items when red and green items touch, to me it is a visual jarring effect that does not sit right somehow. The origional Welsh flag was pleasant, but the current one which came in in 1956 is all wrong in the colours as it has red and green touching each other, let alone the demonical concepts of what they stand for... Even before I knew about the religious element I hated the flag. It was all wrong in trying to mix these colours.

coagulated fries... ewww..

I don't think I ever minded colors being mixed.
However, different foods should not touch. I can eat it anyways now, but I dislike it.
Also, it should be proportionate, if there's too much potatoes and too little ham, I struggle to eat that extra bit of potatoes.
I usually divide the different foods into smaller parts, so that I won't end up with lots of one kind at the end of the meal.

If I'm at a barbecue in the summertime, then it's likely there will be beetroot. I love beetroot but I can't stand it when it or its juice touches other food. So I dish up a serving of beetroot by itself, eat it, clean the plate, then get servings of the rest of the food.

It's the only food I'm fussy with.

I never had it to the degree of being fussy about colors, but smells were a pretty big issue. Not to the degree that I wouldn't eat at all, but it would make me VERY unhappy.

For me it's probably a mix of sensory issues and overactive danger instincts. Certain smells, if I smell even the tiniest bit of, can make it impossible for me to sleep or otherwise ignore.

When I lived in an apartment building, one of my neighbors smoked both tobacco and weed with closed windows to the point of even causing a smoky haze in my apartment. Management wouldn't do anything about it so the only thing I could do during our Canadian winters is open my windows and put on more clothes. (I know I probably could have gotten the law on my side but my mental health was in a very bad place so managing such social things was beyond my capability at the time)

I don't know if it's an autistic thing or not, but it's not only my sensory perception that's overacting but also my sensitivity to most things both physical and mental, and my safety/danger sense. All my life I've gotten bad tension headaches because of tense muscles throughout my neck and head, and it's come out in a lot of other ways too. Maybe it's all just from some underlying issue with whatever part of the brain that's responsible for all matters regarding sensitivity, boosting ANY kind of sensitivity, which ends up expressing itself in all kinds of different ways in our life.

I've never cared about mixing different coloured foods. I regularly eat a mixed, chopped salad containing spinach, carrots, tomatoes, cheese, and walnuts. Doesn't bother me at all.

I don't really care about the colour of food in general as long as it doesn't logically suggest there's something wrong, like an egg that's turned green. Usually I'm watching videos while I eat, so I don't look at my food much anyway. It's a shame they always feed farm salmon with pink dye to make the flesh go pink instead of grey. It seems people would rather have something that "looks nice" than something that's free of artificial pink dye. What a thing looks like and what it is like isn't necessarily the same at all.
