I get Bears notion of mixing the flavours. I know weirdo's who when they eat a meal, will only have 1 foodstuff at a time. They won't mix the sections of the meal. EG they'll eat a fork or 2 of potatoes, then a fork or 2 of meat, and so on. I love combining the stuff on my fork & getting different tastes & textures.
I also know people where (again, eg) the bean sauce cannot touch anything else on the plate.
I also think certain things do go together, and certain things never ever go together. Which is where Bear sometimes looks a bit of a loon :icon_wink:
For example, chicken has gravy or mayo. Ham has ketchup, as does bacon or sausage. cheese has salad cream (forgive me deutsch! But it is lovely & tangy)
Other arguements ensue - baked beans never ever go with mash imo. Others disagree.
I know when I was young I was far too fussy with food choices. I am glad I've opened up to new possibilities a little at least. (I still find many of Bears food combo's weird tho!)
