one other thing is putting my french fries in my sandwich, burger, or hot dog.
somebody seriously owes me some money for these inventions

There is some (supposedly) famous sammich place, in Pittsburgh, where they put the fries and the cole slaw, in the sammich.
Yeah..............no wonder I had to get out of that place. (Not to mention the toxic belching, from the steel mills.) (Fairfield was a paradise, by contrast.)
We also did that, back in the orphanage that I was in. Not sure how it got started, but they always put out a cold cut platter, with chips, one night, every weekend. I suspect we may have done it to annoy "the man". We did a lot of that!
It depends on what I'm eating. Like I'll eat mashed potatoes and peas together or peas and corn, but my food cannot be touching. I even use a sectioned plate. Found it at Target years ago, and it is the perfect adult sized plate. I went to Cracker Barrel and they put pinto beans on the same plate as my fries. The horror. I requested new fries. 
Now I won't throw my food out if items are touching, but I don't want all my food mingling together, unless it's like spaghetti and garlic bread because I dunk that in the sauce, so that doesn't bother me.
But I will eat a little bit of everything until I'm done.
Yep, that describes me to a t.

All food is either a seasoning or condiment to some other food for me. I won't stir all of mine into each other but will take strategic amounts of different items in a bite to enhance the flavor of each. HGT (home grown tomatoes) are ALMOST a universal donor that goes well with any non sweet item.
As a Cajun -- eating Rice/Gravy sort of requires you put the corn and (sometimes beans) right on top....
Gumbo with Potato Salad is yummy....
So, most of the time I eat separate bites of everything -- but I'm not opposed to it all being somewhat mixed together.
My wife would almost prefer to have a compartment plate -- like little kids have. Nothing should ever touch as far as she's concerned.
She eats Meat first, Veggies second, Salad last --- always has, always will.

So do you put the PB on one piece of bread and the J on the other. Or are you one of those crazies that puts PB&J on both pieces of bread?
I don't stir all my food together but, I will gather more then one item on my fork on almost every bite. Ribeye and green beans (southern style, you know cooked it all the great fats of the world!) are great together. Ribeye and fries/baked potato, yumm. Turkey, dressing and mac & cheese in one bite, fantastic! I will use french fries to scoop up the remaining cheese from my mac & cheese. I'll even dip french fries in left over green bean juice. Fried, grilled or baked chicken with any potato or rice and gravy. I'll pair mac & cheese with almost anything. Country fried steak (white gravy only!) or chopped steak with green beans and/or mac & cheese all at once... heaven on a fork.
Breakfast is the one thing I will stir together. Stir it up; hash browns, grits, scrambled eggs, bacon and Conecuh sausage is for champions! Use the piece of toast to help spoon it all onto the fork. If there is any bacon or Conecuh sausage left, I'll dip it in maple syrup!
I don't know how some of you eat at Thanksgiving, they don't make a plate big enough to get everything on it without touching. If you aren't mixing that stuff up then you ain't doing Thanksgiving right.

If I'm eating mashed potatoes, I will usually get some potatoes on a bite with whatever I'm eating. Meat with gravy and mashed potatoes is good. Or peas in mashed potatoes. Or corn in mashed potatoes.
If it's collard or turnip greens, I'd prefer not to get the juice from that into anything else but a piece of bread or a roll.
I'm one of those people that likes a little syrup on bacon and sausage, but not every bite of it. I will have some bites that are all meatsalty, and some bites that have sweet.
I used to eat one item at a time, but I don't really do that anymore, unless one item is particularly messy, or forces me to hold my plate a certain way. For example, I will probably eat all the baked beans off a barbecue plate because they're the greatest risk to spill.
