Method or Absolute Madness

"Food is very important. It should never be wasted on thoughtless eating," Andrew, my brother.

Andrew has a "method" for eating everything.

Here are some examples:

* Pies: eat the sides first, leaving the soft centre for last

* Apples: munch on the bottom first so large, juicy chunks can be relished last

* Burgers: First take a bite of the burger, then eat a chip, then take another bite of the burger, followed by another chip and so on. Eat the burger so the bits with the most sauce are left for last

* Pizza: crust is last and you must ensure that there is a piece of pineapple or olive in eat mouthful

* Cake: Layered cakes are cut in half so it appears as though you have two cakes with two tops, normal cakes are eaten so a portion of the topping is left for the last mouthful

* Fish with two sides (e.g. mashed potato and salad): take a bite of fish, and then a bit of the mashed potato in the one mouthful. Leave the salad for last

* Salad: big chunks of anything are out - the aim is to try and eat as many bits of the ingredients in the one mouthful

* Sandwiches: eat the crust of three of the four sides, then you're left with the soft centre so you can finish it off with mouthfuls of soft centre and crust

Perhaps a way to this man's heart is through is stomach....
