  I guess I use a hybrid version. It’s as you go for the first part of the meal, then towards the end I’ll start focussing on making sure that everything is divided up into portions to make sure there is a bit of everything to go into each bite. I’m the opposite of the people who want all their food segregated and eaten separately, I want all meal components to have equal representation throughout the meal.

  As you go. Food would cool down more quickly if all cut at first.

    This was a point raised as well, especially for something like steak. You want it hot and to hold as much juice as possible

      I actually do cut up my steak, in my head it was to keep it from overcooking in its own heat, even after the resting period.

  People actually do that? So you can eat like a toddler? Wtf? I do that for my dog because he sometimes forgets to chew.

    That was the joke the other host that’s Canadian made. He said “I never do that, oh wait, yes I do, when I’m cutting up food for my child.” They had a guest on this week who said she cuts all her food up at once as well.

  don’t look at me, I have to eat things in a specific autistic sequence based on mouthfeel and desirability.

  You know those fucking weirdos who have to have a little bit everything in each mouthful?

  Thats me.

  • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I get that and I’m a bit like that myself. It was all made to go together so it might as well be enjoyed that way

    source
  • SpinMeAround@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Yeah, but do you cut a bit each time or get it all cut up and ready?

      Cut a bit each time

  I assume you’re talking mainly about steak. I didn’t know it was a thing until the last 3-5 years I started noticing steaks on the various food subreddits that were all cut up before serving.

  It makes sense if it’s a big sub-primal cut that is shared amongst the table but other than that I would cut as I go.

    By the sound of it, it’s everything. Your average American might sit down to a parma and chips and cut it all up into little strips first, then discard the knife and just eat with the fork

      parma and chips

      Yanks do parma w/ spaghetti… for some odd reason.

      • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Could that be a Jollibee thing, or one of the other Filipino restaurants? I heard Filipinos like to do spaghetti with everything

  Few meals I make require cut as you go. For those that do, if I’m eating with somebody I do so. I’m alone and faffing about on my phone the chop it all up heathanism comes into play.

    I get it. Those moments where you’re like, “Ugh, I wanna be on my phone but I’ve gotta Chop And Eat As I Go”
