Growing up, I ate like Beast. I'd taste everything on the plate and would then go back and eat my least favorite thing in full first, and work my way around so my favorite thing on the plate was the final thing I ate.

I still sometimes eat like that, but it depends on the food. Whereas I used to eat my Thanksgiving meal one item at a time least favorite to favorite, I now enjoy a good bite that includes a little turkey, a little dressing/stuffing, and a bit of mashed potatoes and gravy as well. Some things really taste better when combined!

Although, since I am cooking for one, I commonly only make a single thing, like a wrap, or mixed vegetables and rice.
