I don't like it when my foods touch, especially if there is any liquid. I can tolerate it with effort and even seem like I'm enjoying it, but my discomfort will come out in other ways, such as seeming distracted or in a bad mood.
Also, bacon on anything is over powering, and takes away from the meal. I usually prefer all my meals without bacon, except for meals where bacon is the central ingredient (e.g. BLT).
I don't like eggs because I find that they have a vomit-like quality to them. I will not eat a hard-boiled egg yolk, and I haven't in over 20 years. I will not eat deviled eggs. I will not eat egg salad. I will eat scrambled eggs or fried eggs. However, sometimes, I wont eat the egg yolk of a fried egg. If I do, I usually eat very quickly and in one shot because the taste and texture are disgusting to me. I then have to distract myself so that I don't think about it too much.
While I know that my particularities may seem trivial or childish to some, this is the best I can do. If you saw me in one of these situations, I wouldn't mention it nor make a big deal out if it. If anything, I will come up with a reason for why I am not eating, such as feeling sick or full from eating earlier.
I only like eggs when they're scrambled. Any other way is gross to me. Especially hard-boiled and deviled.
