You have these three things on a plate, which is the first bite? Is there a perfect answer to this question? Does it matter?

I go least likes to most liked. Might as well end the meal on a good note.
Expect the worst and you will never be disappointed.

Pickle, I love the quick nibble on a pickle quarter before the meal whenever they come on the plate. I will usually save the rest for the end.
I got a plan, we take all your picks we reverse them like one of those twilight zone episodes where everything is the opposite. You say "black" we go white.

I picked the sandwich. If there was some kind of finger food side dish, like fries or onion rings, I'd pop one of those in my mouth first.

I don't want to taint the responses, so I'm going to not comment. Pickle boy upthread, is wrong, but not if you're a pickle boy. VCU, didn't mean to offend, just forgot your name, so I called you pickle boy.Quote: TigerWuI picked the sandwich.

First bite pickle, then intermittent with the sandwich. Probably searching for the trash can with the potato/mac salad unless I haven’t ate in 20+ hours.

I don't know if it's perfect, but I think you have to go for the sandwich first. Logically, it's what you have the most of on your plate. Most of the time, I don't even bother to eat the pickle at all, doesn't feel right going for the pickle. The thing is about potato salad, you won't have all that much on your plate. I don't think you want to risk eating too much before you ever get to sandwich either. If you go sandwich first, you can still end on sandwich, and you'll pretty much have to, I think it's kind of disappointing getting to the salad and just having a little left. You have to try your best to alternate between the two, finishing the little bit of potato salad before the last bit of sandwich. They are training robots to serve and prepare these things, wonder what they would program if the robot was the one eating.

I like to start and end with the tastiest thing on the plate. So, my first bite is the prime rib sandwich. Then, eat all three items at similar rates, saving the last bite or two to finish off the sandwich.

I hate pickles. And potato salad. And macaroni salad.
So I guess you can say my vote is slightly biased.
If one choice was fries, then that’s it but only because they’re right there, waiting to be grabbed...

I am still the only pickle vote. I always seem to be in the minority opinion.

I tried it before I posted. It felt weird. There were two pickles too. Threw the second out. Guess I should say it was a large pickle wedge, but not a full pickle. There was another comment from a pickle lover, he obviously didn't vote.Quote: VCUSkyhawkI am still the only pickle vote. I always seem to be in the minority opinion.

I'd probably say vote potato salad and consider it fries. I'm not sure I could make such a move. I'd be too afraid I'd eat too many fries before I began on the sandwich, that could be some dilemma. I have some fear the side would blind me from the taste of the sandwich, that's the first thing I want to know, is the main course any good or not, that's what I'm paying for.Quote: DJTeddyBearI hate pickles.

I like macaroni salad, but the concept is truly terrible.
Who thought “hey, maybe I should drench this pasta in mayonnaise” and thought it would be a good idea?
I mean, it works out, but sounds so so bad in theory.

Obviously you eat the sandwich first, then the macaroni or whatever, and then the pickle. Although eating the pickle is optional.
Don’t eat food out of order, that’s just wrong.

Naw I love mayo.
Chik Fil A has the best Mayo. I put 4 packets of it on my chicken sandwich, which is probably why I have high cholesterol at age 26.
But does mayo on spaghetti sound good?

I eat the sides first. This way my entree will determine if I'll ever go back to the place again.
This can vary depending on the cook/chef that runs the kitchen.

I voted for the potato/macaroni salad or whatever the side dish will be but I would only take one bite-sized amount before attacking the prime rib sandwich.
Why one bite of side dish first?
1. To stimulate my taste buds and take the urgency out of eating the prime rib sandwich, so I can enjoy it.
2. A little bit as a safeguard against awful food - I'd rather be alerted that the food is really terrible with potato salad before putting rancid meat in my mouth.
3. For convenience in achieving the above objectives - the side dish is broken up and a simple motion with a fork will give me a bite-sized amount, whereas the prime rib sandwich with a dip is a more complicated undertaking.
If this answer seems silly, remember it was a silly question.

It's not something I ever gave much thought to, but it appears I sample my main dish, then go for the sides.

Sandwich all the way! If the side wasn't a cold salad but fries instead the fries would beat the sandwich!
