Anyone have any crazy/weird eating or food habits?

[AKL_Megs]

I can drink a can of Coke with my breakfast cereal if the mood strikes me.

I also like a can of Coke with cake, ice cream, brownies, cookies, or any other dessert most people tend to drink milk with.

I do this with potato and french bread sometimes. Something very satisfying about a bread ball.

I don't like my food that's meant to be separate to touch. I also typically eat all of one type of food on the plate and then move onto the next. I really like mustard and have to have it on grilled cheese, BLTs, etc. I don't care much for ketchup. I love homemade ranch dressing and sometimes just eat that with baby carrots, de-seeded tomato wedges, and english cucumber slices for dinner. I hate the texture of onions so I make food that typically has it without and just use onion powder. I actually have a lot of food-texture issues - I don't care for yogurt or pudding much, I don't like the textures of bananas or grapes, I don't eat seafood because it smells bad to me and all looks squishy, if I get a "bad bite" of chicken or beef I'm done. I'm pretty picky and have a lot of food quirks like that - I was vegetarian for a few years in college and it would be very easy for me to go back. A lot of "traditional" dishes I like, but only when I make them because I adapt them the way I like - for example, potato salad I make with lots of hardcooked eggs and mustard and with red potatoes with skins left on and Best Foods Real Mayo (never Miracle Whip or anything else), and leave out celery/pickles/onions/etc. And I love my own lasagna but that's because I cook it without onions - things like that. I also usually find one or two things I like on a menu and always get them because I know they're sure bets.

I'm not sure if I eat any real unusual combinations - sometimes I have a craving for Spaghettios, and I melt shredded cheddar into them and then scoop them up with saltine crackers and eat them that way.

I think we're food twins. Seriously.. almost all of that is me. DFi gets mad a lot because he'll eat ANYTHING and I have so many weird food quirks.

Don't like food to touch.
Eat one food at a time.
Ranch with carrots for meals (I don't really care for tomatoes or cucumbers.. texture issues)
Like the taste of onions, hate the texture.
Other food texture issues - yogurt, peaches, anything "slimy" or too crunchy (like onions or celery, blech).
Eat the same things at restaurants.

I think just about the only difference is that I don't like mustard.

My name is Wendy, and I do NOT mayonnaise. In fact, I detest it. Can't stand the smell of it, the look of it, anything. I will avoid anything with mayonnaise in it. I feel the same way about ranch dressing or sour cream. I get completely grossed out watching someone eat a salad covered w/ ranch dressing when their lips get white from the dressing. Gag me!

I like dipping my Wendy's french fries into my Frosty! Yummo!

I put ketchup on steak. This highly offends my DH - especially if he's the one who grilled the steak.

I don't like the mushrooms. They are too squishy in my mouth. But I will eat something w/ cream of mushroom soup in it.

Chips folded or flat - either way, but I cannot stand sour cream & onion chips & forbid anyone in my house to eat them - the smell is horrid.

I eat my M & M's in a pattern.

Oh, & coffee. I can pour a cup of hot coffee & sip on it for awhile & then, for whatever reason, not finish the cup. I can then come back at the end of the day, pick up the cup, & drink the coffee that's left. Even if it's been left on the bathroom counter. Totally grosses my DH out. I *heart* anything coffee-flavored.

But, my main thing is mayonnaise. Hate.

 

[Stacerita]

Oooh, I do this too. Dh gets mad if I burn it too much though because then the kitchen smells. But it doesn't matter to me.

Dh won't drink tap water from the bathroom, he says it's gross.
I like to eat a bite of mashed potatoes and then a bite of creamed corn, but it's gross when people mix it together on the plate.
I like m&m's and salt and vinegar chips mixed together.

I have to agree with your DH on that. I won't ever drink water from the bathroom. Not even in a hotel. I take a few bottles of water just in case.

I love my grilled cheese with ketchup, but maybe that's not too uncommon?

I also like fries with ranch dressing, mayo, mustard, etc.

Jarred or fresh jalapenos in pasta sauce is really tasty, too!

I love mine with mustard. But only if its sourdough bread.

I drink milk with everything. It's my favorite drink.



ME!!! I hate soggy food, period.

Um...

I eat peanut butter plain sometimes. Like, I get a spoon, scoop out some peanut butter, and just lick it off the spoon. I eat that for breakfast sometimes.

Can't think of anything else. I'm a very picky eater.

I do this all the time. Sometimes I have to fake it if others are home and pretend I am putting it on a cracker or bread or something.

The sardine twinkie is the nastiest thing I think I have ever heard of. Ack!

I think bacon goes with everything.

 

[HsvTeacher]

I have some major food issues! Here are a few:

All sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, etc. must have an equal meat to bread ratio. If things are uneven and I can't shift them, I don't eat it.

Peanut butter and jelly cannot touch the crust.

Every pot/pan/dish that comes in contact with food must be washed before being used. (Plates and glasses are an exception.)

I always leave a little bit of whatever I'm eating on my plate. For some reason, I can't eat that last bite. (My DH calls it my "alms to God.")

Veggies taste bitter to me, but I crave big salads. (Never eat them, though.)

I can't handle the consistency of bananas, puddings, yogurts, etc.

I don't like tomatoes, but love ketchup. I don't like peanuts, but love peanut butter.

I could go on...

 

[KSchwagg86]

Eating things in 2's...Must eat an even number of popcorn, cookies, whatever...And also, when i eat popcorn or chips, I take it one at a time and count--so messed up, I know!

 

[clovergirl5]

Aw man... I drive my parents crazy with my food habits!

Let's see...

I eat the edges off my pop-tarts before I eat the middle
I mix my mac-n-cheese with peas
I eat the chocolate coating off my swiss cake roll before I eat the rest
I eat the peanut butter out the Nutty Bar before I eat the rest
I like to put my Oreos in a glass, soak em with milk, then stir it up and drink it! YUM!!

I'm sure there's more, just can't think of it at the moment...

I do this too. I also have done spagetti-O's with sprinkled cheese on top. Yum

 

[clovergirl5]

My favorite snack is saltines crushed up in a bowl with Ortega taco sauce mixed in. DFiance thinks I'm nuts!

Made me think of something else. If you have a choc. craving, hot fudge ice cream topping outta the jar is yummy. Really thick to scoop out with a spoon.

Really? Yeah, I guess I prefer certain colors over others

 

[paintnolish]

I eat pb from the jar, too. Yum!!!

 

[can'tgetenufofwdw]

Mayonnaise on everything. (Only Hellamn's)
Peanut butter in scrambled eggs
And for the worst food habit I have....can't believe I am going to share this......................I like spaghettios with meatballs but I chew up all the meatballs and spit them back in before I actually start to eat the spaghettios. I am ashamed to tell you that I have been doing this for about thirty years. Yes thirty!

I think I actually made a face when I read the Spag O part. You know, they make knives for this sort of thing. Oh well. At least you aren't doing it in public. Are you?

 

[dillydilly]

I don't like to eat any kind of chips or doritos that are folded. If its folded, I will pass and pick out the ones that are nice and flat.

I am the opposite. I will seek out the folded ones. Yum! My fave is when we are at a mexican restaurant and I find a tortilla chip that is 2 or 3 or 4 chips rolled up/stuck together. You can get alot of salsa in the grooves of those ones! My kids keep their eyes open for those for me!

My next favorite is Wendy's shakes with french fries. I eat some shake then follow with a fry. I craved those suckers during my first pregnancy all the time!

My daughter loves saltines with Trader Joe's hot sauce on them.

 

[lspst8]

I eat pb from the jar, too. Yum!!!

My sister dips the peanut butter in the sugar bowl before she eats it. She usually does it right before bed. I only know this because I caught her doing it once. I tried it --- it is delicious!

I'm with you on everything, but the Oreos. I can't stand it when people dunk things. I don't even like to see it happen. It just grosses me out. I prefer to eat the Oreo cream first, then the cookie.

 

[Minnesota!]

I used to do that with Wonder Bread when I was about.....6!

Me too!

I LOOOOVE PB in scrambled eggs!

Or make toast, put PB on it, then a fried egg. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[hulagirl87]

I have a condiment phobia. No mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce. Anything creamy is disgusting. Like salad dressings. yuck! The only one I will eat is ketchup.

When I eat sandwich cookies (like oreos or vienna fingers) I have to separate them first. I can't eat them whole.

Similar with Twix. I have to eat the chocolate and caramel off first and then the cookie part.

I can't drink the milk that is left in my cereal. It grosses me out!

I can't share ice cream. Once it starts to melt it's disgusting to me.

 

[Snoozan]

Boy, I have to admit some of you have some pretty strange eating habits! I love most "regular" food and probably my strangest thing is putting potato chips on a tuna sandwich. I also eat almost daily potato chips with cottage cheese as 'dip'. Must be the salt thing for me....

 

[nikkistevej]

I always put my ice cream in the microwave for about 30 seconds. DH thinks it's gross.

Oh and I NEVER touch ice, ever!! I have a weird phobia against it- if it's in the drink I'll drink it- but we don't even have any ice in my house. (don't have an icemaker freezer- LOL)

I love cake batter and cookie dough too.

 

[TinkLovinMomma]

Ok I read every single post so I have to join in!

I only eat the green skittles. I cant eat the rest of the colors. I dont know why

I also love the folded chips but so does my husband so we fight over them

I HATE ketchup... ugh just the thought of it grosses me out. My MIL and my DS2 love it and will eat it on everything.. My MIL Literally puts it on everything she eats besides desserts. I cant watch her eat because I will start gagging.

On the other hand I LOVE hot sauce. I put hot sauce on everything.. Chicken, steak, french fries, potato chips, pretzels. I dont know why it doesnt gross me out like ketchup.. probably because its thinner.

I refuse to eat pork or veal or duck, lamb, rabbit, venison etc.
I stick with Chicken, Turkey and Beef (Never ground beef though)

Ground beef makes me sick to even look at or think about eating but I will eat ground turkey.

Ok I think thats all
