This is a very entertaining post. I love to cook, and I have the multi-colored cutting boards. (It helps that the plastic ones have pictures on them.) But once you use all of them for the right purpose, it does start to make sense.

One of the key reasons I like to separate foods is that on more than one occasion I have cut fruit, such as apples, on a board that was infused with onion or garlic. And that is just not a nice flavor!
