I somehow arrange my food so that I finish the last bite with a little bit of everything on my plate. As far as food preparation quirks, I have to have very clean hands and a clean kitchen to work in. My daughters laugh at me for this but they too have picked up this habit and comment if they go somewhere that does not practice this. They have gone without eating while visiting if the kitchen was not clean. Or they cleaned it themselves under the guise of helping the hostess. Weird.
