apparently

i have some strange standards when it comes to food. i had not previously been aware of this, except obviously for all the jokes my family make about how much i eat. which they do, and they all take great joy in. luckily i am a confident person, and am not convinced that a healthy appetite makes me greedy etc. so i take it in my stride. either way, i hadn't realised that apparently my habits to do with food are odd, but upon actually revising them i've realised that i'm basically the rainman of food. here are three examples: judge for yourselves.

1. if a meal with a boiled egg is being eaten, the egg is to be saved until last. if in a sauce based dish, a small portion of sauce must be saved with which to eat the special saved egg.

2. small sweets (celebrations, ferrero roche etc.) must be eaten in either twos or fives depending on what you fancy. if two, your second favourite one comes first, then your favourite. if five, your favourite, your second favourite, your third favourite, your second favourite and then your favourite again.

3. cooked meals of things like meat and vegs have to be eaten in turns. mouthful of meat, then veg, then meat with veg, then a sip of drink and repeat.


am i obviously autistic? or just neat? i don't know. but i've just had my fifth celebration, and it's time to stop.
