Does it bother you when one food touches another food on the plate?

hahaha
NO problem here

Not at all. They atre goimg to be touching eachother much more thoroughly once I get them into my stomach.

Does it mean what you're eating isn't dead...  ?

It used to when I was a kid. But ultimately I don't prefer a plate with a bunch of different foods on it. I'd rather space things out. 

Only if its inappropriate touching..

no, i could care less

If possible I will smoosh things up all together. Easier that way...and tastier. Would somebody have a chocolate sundae with the syrup on the side?

When I was a child, I would occasionally mix up the mashed potatoes with the peas and the carrots that were also on my plate.  I then used ketchup as an emulsifier.

I've have changed considerably over the years.

Turkey or chicken gravy is allowed great access to most of the other items on my plate---vegetables excluded.

No.   I wonder how people who do have a problem with it eat lasagna. 

I like spaghetti sauce on my zucchini, sour cream on my steak, steak juices on my potato, egg yolk on my fried potatoes or toast, peas in my potatoes, and I dip my bread in my soup.  So, in a word, no.

no it does not :)

No, fortunately I don´t torment myself thinking that.

I used a divided plate until I married and left home.  I still have some but don't always use them.  I keep my foods from touching somewhat but am not bothered by it like I used to be.  Any fried food must be served in it's own container though.  Wet fried okra is not going to happen.
