I had a friend who couldn't stand to eat food mixed together.
He would separate everything into separate piles on his plate.
At a salad bar, everything went into separate piles, to be eaten
separately.
When his wife would get really peeved with him, she would make
a caserole of some sort - it would drive him up a wall.
Nice guy, but wierd about food...
