I talk to my animals and out loud to no one a lot.
I like to eat food of my plate in an order, least favourite thing to most favourite thing. Sometimes this leads to deconstructing part of or all the meal before eating anything.

I thought I was the only one who did that (the food bit)!
Tova:
Yes, but sometimes your favourite food cools quickly and is best eaten piping hot. If you eat it last, then by this time it might not even be your favourite food any more, due to its critically cooled state. So now you've got yourself a multiple-objective optimisation problem to deal with.
My usual approach is to get a taste of that favourite food while it is at its best, divert to my least favourite, eating in the usual order, but occasionally returning to my favourite so that I can be sure that it will all be eaten before it reaches Critically Cooled state. Sometimes I have to finish on my second favourite food in order to ensure this.
Welu:
Sometimes that happens but my less elegant solution is wolfing the least favourite things and then having time to savour the most favourite things.
Tova:
I used to do that, but now I don't, partly because I like to savour even my "least favourite" things, and partly because wolfing down food as quickly as possible is not entirely compatible with conversing with my dining companion(s).

It's hard to think of examples.

I have a similar way of thinking during conversations or thought tangents to Brun.

Lots of people talk to their pets and think alloud.
