Saving the best for last?

Now, this is something that my boyfriend thought was hilarious when he first noticed it, and it's something I wasn't even conscious of doing but I will always save the best bit of any meal or snack until last. In fact, with a big meal there's a strict order of eating everything, from least favourite to most favourite (this take some planning with a sunday roast when the plate's full).

It's very simple - I always save until last...the frosting on a cupcake, the mash in bangers and mash, the asparagus in anything served with asparagus and so on.

I just read an article about it on the wonderful kitchn website, and I feel vindicated - I'm not nearly as weird as my boyfriend thinks, there are lots of us out there who do this.....

..do you?

    I eat around the edge of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich until the crust is completely gone. Those last crustless bites... HEAVEN.

    I always divide up my tasting habits this way... try a bit of everything first. First bight is always a moment of discovery, braking through the veil. Then you know what taste is the most exciting and desirable. I try to spread out the pleasure of the yummiest bits through out, but always leave the very best for last.

    oh i definitely force my self to eat more of the not as great things, before I allow myself to eat all of the awesome one! but i usually have to have a bite of the awesome one for every few bites of the other things. and don't even get me started on someone who asks for the last bite of whatever delicious thing i am eating!!! grrr.
