OK, you're all grossing me out. Food is NOT meant to be mixed together, otherwise they wouldn't have those plates with little sections. Corn, mashed potatoes and GRAVY? UGH!! I do like gravy on my mashed potatoes, but nothing else. My mother-in-law does that with kale, and it makes me nauseous to even SEE it.
I enjoy mixing food in my mashed potatoes and gravy a la shepherd's pie.
Here's a good one. Mashed potatoes are a must with homemade pork and sauerkraut, and when you combine the pork, sauerkraut and potatoes, it becomes heavenly.
