I had a little boy who wouldn't eat food that touched, no combo food ever. There was one time when I told him that he was not getting anything else because I had cooked the food in the crockpot and separated it on his plate and he told me it tasted bad. He knew! Anyway, he threw up all over his plate and I called his Mom to come and get him. So I never made him eat crockpot food again but the very next day he tried to throw up again, most likely thinking he would get his Mommy. Little kids are darn smart, you know! But it never happened again.
