Me an O.C. ?
When you do barbeque on a Hot plate, do you arrange the meat and vegetable or just pour everything in? I always arranged it properly on the hot plate. Last week, when we had a barbeque party , I did the same thing and I got a strange reaction from eveybody. They were really amused at me and I was amused at them ( vice versa reaction
) Is it really weird? or am I showing the O.C. part of me?
I guess I retained this attitude because when we grill meat or any food back home, we always arranged them so that we could maximize space..

I always arrange chicken, meats and vegetables on the grill nice and neat. I also put it on there with one end of the arrangement over hotter coals than the opposite end. That way I can flip it all and take it off the fire, move the unfinished food further up toward the hotter coals and add more in a way that can be well managed and not burn it all.
I don’t think it has anything to do with being compulsive at all. It’s just plain good management and cooking!

I do that too.. I mean, isn’t it the most natural thing to do? You get maximum space/cooking time efficiency.
I move the stuff around too, so that as the food cooks, they get placed in the not-as-hot parts of the grill.

You have Japanese tendencies..hehehe
I see nothing wrong with adding beauty to food. The pinoys just eat anything as long as it reaches the stomach. The Japs beautify the presentation of the food, makes it really more delicious to look at.
