text: do you keep your food separated on your plate? i know this is stupid, but i had an argument with somebody at thanksgiving. they complained because i let my food get mixed together. upon asking other people, a lot of people try to keep the food items separated on their plate. i found this absurd. what is so bad about mixing turkey with stuffing, or potatoes with squash? some foods are meant to be mixed together. i happen to love a sandwich made of turkey, dressing, cranberries, and cole slaw. i have had the same dumb arguement, lol, and i always say that the food all ends up mixed together so what is the harm in letting it mix together on the plate?  people need to chill.  i am right there with you, i love turkey and cranberry sandwiches with alittle dressing.
