is it weird to eat your sides first then the main meal?

[Blake the drunk]

Last night eating out with a friend I was eating a burger with onion rings and he kept telling me I was weird for taking a couple bites of my burger set it down and then eating a couple onion rings and repeat.. He thinks everyone should eat one thing at a time and its the side dish first and then main. what yall do? lol

 

[TaySan]

Not weird at all. I eat the fries first then the burger.

 

[shnurgleton]

your friend sounds like a jerk. eat your food in whatever order you like

 

[Laserbeam]

You'd have to be a lunatic to think you should just eat one thing at a time.

 

[Joe]

I don't think either way is weird.

But, I've usually a one-bit-at-a-time kind of guy. If I get a burger and fries, it's always fries first, then the burger.

 

[Gustaf]

i always finish my fries first, and the the burger

He was drunk but I thought It was funny lol

 

[Runner]

it's good strategy to flank, keep that steak guessing

 

[Goldenroad]

If it's all on the same plate it's all meant to be eaten at the same time.

 

[HammerOfThor]

save the best for last homie

 

[Walter White Walker]

No, how you're eating is normal.

 

[Deleted member 25606]

First I want to say eat how you want.

But I personally either eat one thing at a time, or depending on the food just mix it all into one mush. Don't have time to be picking and choosing.

 

[julia crawford]

Hum

Does putting the onions/fries inside the burger count?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Absolutely op and you should feel deep shame

 

[Bman94]

My friend eats his fries first before his burger. I always found that weird, as to me fries enhance the burger.

 

[Ehoavash]

My cousin is weird like that but also he takes it up further

Like say we have chicken/fish/ curry whatever and rice

He will eat the dish first by itself then he will eat the rice alll plain by itself ..it annoys me

 

[Bladelaw]

It's your food, eat how you want.

For me it depends on the food. If something is much better warm/hot than it is cooled down (steamed veggies for me) I'll eat that first. Otherwise I'll usually mix stuff up to get a nice mix of flavor.

 

[Wackamole]

Never pay any attention to either the food- or the fashion police. These are terrible people.

 

[PandaShake]

Nah, you right OP. I prefer eating mix. Gives flavor variety throughout the meal and they're all at best temps. Especially fries, they go lukewarm fast.

 

[BasilZero]

If I eat a burger and fries - take a bite out of the burger and get fries dunk it in ketchup and bite that

 

[5taquitos]

Your friend sounds insane.

 

[Deleted member 2802]

He thinks everyone should eat one thing at a time and its the side dish first and then main. what yall do? lol

Click to shrink...

He thinks wrong

 

[BlueKaty]

Yes eating the sides first so the main meal is cold by the time you finish them is always the best way to go!

 

[Vonocourt]

He thinks everyone should eat one thing at a time and its the side dish first and then main. what yall do? lol

As someone who does usually eat in items individually, he's doing the opposite of proper and should feel bad.

 

[Soriku]

Your friend is a weirdo

The best way to eat is to mix up what you're eating IMO

 

[Kurita]

Fries first then burger

 

[808s & Villainy]

It doesn't matter
I don't even know why your friend cared enough to comment

your friend is a bigger weirdo for eating things in any kind of order. Taking different bites of different elements is the best part of eating.

 

[davepoobond]

I eat whatever is less likely to be good as a leftover later first.

usuallt that means sides first but will still eat the "main" thing as well

 

[Incite]

What's weird is thinking there's one way to eat.... And it's how you eat😬

That's how I eat too. Some burger, some fries.

I have a friend who doesn't like it when food touches other food on the plate so she starts her meal by moving everything. Everyone is different.

 

[Deleted member 59126]

Dare yourself to be weird. When everything is all said and done, would you rather do what felt natural to you, or not feel judged through complacency..

 

[F34R]

I'm the only one in my household of four that eats main/sides at the same time. Bite after bite. Everyone else might grab a bite from the main, but then moves on to the sides completely. Then deals with the main if they feel like it.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Veggies go cold fast and are gross that way so I always eat them first

Starchy sides I kind of eat alongside the burger / sandwich / whatever

Come to think of it I think I roughly prioritize in terms of temperature lol

 

[Red UFO]

Give your meal back to the chef you do not deserve it.

 

[Grouch Douglass]

I save the best part of the meal for last usually. Doesn't mean I have to eat sides in order though. I do usually finish my salad and veggies first however.

Yeah pretty much this. But it's fine if you eat individually some things. A lot of foods are meant to be mixed

 

[Ballou]

I did the "one thing at a time" as a kid with food I didn't like, and just wanted to get it over with and on to the good stuff. Unfortunately, that made my parents think I really enjoyed the nasty food.

 

[Galkinator]

That's how I and everybody I know eats...
Definitely not weird lol

 

[Heliex]

Fries first, about a quarter of them go into the burger, then the burger. This is the way.

 

[NeonCarbon]

I eat them together, as I think that's the point of a side. Although doesn't bother me if people do their own thing.

 

[Doggg]

Nope

 

[JuicyPlayer]

I think of sides as the "mid-card" of food. I eat the sides first and then save the main event for last.

 

[Pizza Dog]

My wife tells me off if I have a sandwich & crisps for lunch and eat the crisps first, or switch to crisps while there's still some sandwich, but we'd both eat chips alongside/before a burger.

 

[Autumn]

The sides are usually my favorite part of a meal.

Also there are some foods....if you give me enough of it, I won't be able to finish without something else to change it up

 

[thisismadness]

Jesus.. is there anything we won't judge someone for?

 

[MrCibb]

Not weird at all, I usually finish the main first but I'll have a few chips or an onion ring as a wee chaser beforehand. Nowt weird there. But caring about the order someone else eats their food in? Definite weirdo.

 

[deimosmasque]

When eating my priority is always "what won't reheat well" and I eat that first. The usually means the side dishes.
