Mixin it up

About a week ago we discussed how Americans can only eat their meals if they are separated into little compartments.. well just as i imagined, this statement it completely true

For the past week i have been putting everything that i eat on one plate, for breakfast it was usually eggs and bacon for lunch stir fry salad beans and tortillas and for dinner it could be anything from spaghetti, burgers, pizza, stir fry, or a sandwich with my salad and possibly beans

either way what i found was the everyone who sat around me thought it was disgusting.. i mean i didn't think it looked that bad ( and i actually thought it tasted amazing), but pretty much every meal that i mixed i found that people couldn't watch me eat because they thought it was weird to mix my tofu with my salad, beans, salad dressing, rice, and onions. 

although something interesting that i found out is that if i mixed up all my food and put it in a tortilla that some how it was then not a big deal to have it all mixed up which brings me to my next idea... it appears that if foods are mixed up, but put on or inside another food (ie. burgers, pizza, tacos...etc) then its not gross.. i mean who would really eat ham with pineapple mixed together unless it was on a pizza? or who would think that cheese bacon mayo and tomatoes were good unless they were on a burger?

I can only wonder why these foods make it appropriate to mix, while mixing in the open is unacceptable 

You think I'm exaggerating when i say unacceptable, but the majority of people felt just that way..they felt that by mixing my food i was being childish

Why are children allowed to mix their food but I am not? i don't think its very fair because mixing food is sooo much fun (OK.... so i was a little childish with it, but still i still want to know why i cant)

i think my next step is to mix my food outside the country and see how that turns out

until then i guess ill keep mixing 

and people will keep getting grossed out

Oh well....
