Lets explore those food quirks a bit more..

[MeanLaureen]

What other food quirks do you have? Is there food that you combine and love that makes people look at you like you have 2 heads? Any other food rituals outside of the color cooridinated candy coated chocolate consumption?

I'm a food mixer, but just specific food. If you put mashed potatoes and corn on my plate, I just can't resist the urge to mix them both together in one big yellow lumpy white mush.

I'm also not a fan of condiments. The only time I eat ketchup or mustard is on hamburgers. I won't use ketchup on fries, hotdogs, anything else. Everything must remain plain.. no gravy, sauce, etc. Which is weird because my mom has such a huge ketchup addiction that you would have to ask her if she wanted some fries with her ketchup instead of vice versa!

Like I mentioned earlier, cakes and cupcakes cannot be eaten with the icing on them. You have to eat the icing first, then the cake. And icecream, once I am down to the last quarter of icecream in the dish I have to smush it all up into a soft serve consistancy.

My favorite food surprises people since most people will pick chocolate or pizza or something like that. My favorite food is green olives. I can eat them like M&Ms. Actually there is a very sad story about how that became my favorite food.

So what are your food quirks?

My food quirks..
I put my corn on or next to my mashed potatoes.. My dh thinks I'm weird for that!!

I won't eat a salad if it doesn't have tomatoes!

Hmmm, I'm sure there are more but I can't think of any right now...

My food can't touch!

The only food I will mix is tuna and mac n' cheese. Don't ask me why!

Oh, and dry bread gives me hiccups!

Ketchup on Scrambled Eggs!! Yummy!!
I am also a Mashed Potatoes/Corn person. Love to mix them together!

Peanut Butter and Butter sandwiches
Cucumber and Mayonaise sandwiches

My food can't touch either! We always have to have the "divided" plates at holidays--it drives my mom crazy! I do not like for other food (baked beans, etc.) to "run" onto my other foods.

Here's my other bizarre food quirk--other than casseroles (which are supposed to be a lot of stuff mixed together), I won't eat food unless it just regularly comes in that setting. (I know that doesn't make sense.) For example--I won't eat taco salad or burritos that have corn in them b/c it's CORN, and I don't normally see it mixed with meat and stuff. Now, you can see what a weirdo I actually am!

Thanks to a science experiment when I had to put a saltine in my mouth and let it sit there until it became this disgusting soggy blob (seriously, we had to do this!), I have this soggy bread thing. No sloppy joes, can't make a sandwich early and eat it later (b/c the bread will get soggy)... gravy over biscuits? GAG!
Just can't stand the consistency of soggy bread/etc.

So what are your food quirks?

For me, that question should actually read, what aren't your food quirks. I'm just about the quirkiest person when it comes to food! Let's see, my food cannot touch--EVER. I also don't eat food that is pre-mixed together (like soup, stews). I also don't eat anything that's leftover or any type of frozen meat (like TV dinners with meat) or anything white. The white thing is merely coincidental, but I don't eat milk, mayo, cream cheese, vanilla ice cream, white bread. I do eat potatoes, but I don't consider them white since they are brown!

Besides eating Skittles in coordinated pairs...

I can't eat anything that has had a pickle on it. And NO, you can't take the pickle off, because there is pickle juice contamination. Yuck!

Mashed potatos with Corn YUMMY

Fries w/ Gravy Or Fries w/ tarter sauce

scrambled eggs with Ketchup

Peanut butter Lettuce and Mayo sandwiches are AWESOME

I like BBQUE sauce on just about anything

I also make my own cough syrup Honey Lemon and Jack (as in Daniels)
works good

and the story is...........................???????????????????????

I bet it works well too!!

Yup and I can vary the strength depending on how bad the cough

 

[GoofyDad869]

Hey!
You're supposed to be running payroll, you Skittles sicko!

To the OP's point (isn't THAT redundant?!...

I usually eat fries/tots/chips first. Not always though. If it were always, it would be obsessive, not merely quirky.

I eat stuff like small candies in pairs or triplets, biting/chewing on alternating sides of the mouth. You gotta even out the wear&tear and give your WHOLE mouth the flavor experience. Yes, Me & Taste Buds #AER-976-BB through #GBC-476-CV are *this* close on that black licorice thing.

Speaking of... I love black licorice! I'm the only one in the family who does so I get ALL the black jellybeans!

My cereal must be soggy.

OK, my food quirk involves cup cakes too. I can't stand that there is a ton of icing on the top, and then I have to eat the cake dry...so ever since I was a kid, I break the cake part in half and put the bottom over the top of the frosting. OK, I know all you frosting first people are screaming now, but I likes it all together...ya know. It's like a cupcake sammie... YUMMO!!!

Microwave peeps for a few seconds , they swell up and get just warm enough......you can use them for smores if you want. I also like Brachs Easter (malted) eggs.they are the only malted egg I like, but I have to eat the candy coating first, then the chocolate, then pop the malted egg in my mouth and let it melt...awsome....

Ok, I guess that will result in another visit to Kroger tomorrow so that we can have some Indoor Smores tomorrow!! That sounds so good.. I'd go back tonight but I think they might think I'm stalking them because I've already been there twice today!

Ok the guys at my office will love this thread. They think I am a complete food weirdo.

I don't eat Ketchup or Mayo
tomatos
onions
cold cheese (I do like it cooked in food and pizza and stuff)
eggs or sausage
biscuits (they love this one since when we go to Bojangles I get a chicken bisquit and take the chicken out and leave the biscuit)
Fast food Hamburgers or hamburgers made from anyone I don't know
Hot Dogs
oh the list goes on and on...

Having food in at my office has to look odd to outsiders since the guys start calling my won't eats before we even get to the sandwhiches.

.

oh, I have a lot of raw meat rules... LOL. And if my DH is cooking meat, I *always* nuke it after he cooks it, just to make sure...
