    When my older siblings were dating (and I was 6-12 yo) in the 60's, their litmus test for a date to be worth considering long term was "Do they know how to eat an artichoke?" Fail that test and no more soup for you!

    Couldn't they just spend 12 seconds teaching their date..?

    who has a spare 12 seconds in this day and age?

    I love Little Debbie snack cakes. One of my favorites? Nutty Bars!! But I like to eat them in layers. Makes them last longer, and is something to "entertain" me while I am filling my body with all that crap, fat, and wasted calories. But, they are oh-so-good!

    HA! I do the same thing!

    I like soggy baked french fries.
    Will not eat chicken or any other mean on the bone.
    Eat all around the edges of a sandwich - then the middle.
    Cannot eat lobster unless its cut up into something like soup... when it looks like its alive on my plate I just can't do it.
    Love salads but cannot eat lettuce on a sandwich.

    1) My food can't touch. Thanksgiving is a total nightmare for me when I see other people smooshing their food together!
    2) I have to have second helpings off of a new plate.
    3) I hate cooked fruit.
    4) I hate squishy foods like rice pudding, jello etc
    5) My hot food has to be really hot and my cold food has to be cold.
    6) I love ice. My drinks have to be completely filled with ice, then the liquid added to the glass.
    7) I HATE leftovers and I have perfected the art of cooking for one.

    I sound crazy pants, huh?

    I am the same way with lettuce. I love salads, but don't you dare put a piece of lettuce on my salad or burger!

    ^ My hot food has to be hot, if its like lukewarm I can't eat it at all
    -I eat kit-kats in layers but first eating all the outside chocolate
    -I cut my pizza into diamonds
    -For tea if the tea bag isn't in the cup before its boiled I won't drink it
    -Also tea water must be boiled not microwaved (seriously people it takes 2 min)
    -I have to eat bananas when the outside skin is still slightly green
    -The cheese on a burger needs to be really melted not like slapped on last min
    -I don't like hot soups only cold ones
    -If fries are soggy yuck

    Damn, and I was never really a picky eater as a kid

    I used to be super-anal about my food not touching on my dinner plate. Now I don't care as much.

    My family used to make fun of me for eating my corn on the cob "typewriter" style (eating across the whole ear left-to-right and then turning it, not just keeping my mouth in one place and turning the cob). It's more efficient!

    I eat corn on the cob the same way. Yumm! Now I want some... :D

    When I eat Nuttybars, KitKats, Twix (which is not very often anymore) I eat it in layers. Chocolate first then work my way to the middle. Also I do not mind anymore if my food touches... I enjoy trying different flavor combinations.

    1. Have to cut my toast/sandwiches diagonally and then I eat the crusts, then the rest.
    2. Food CANNOT touch on my plate. Yes I still eat shepherd's pie/fruit parfait etc..but it's SUPPOSED to touch so it's different
    3. I cannot eat any meat off the bone...I cut my ribs off the bone and eat it with a fork
    4. I have to have a drink with each meal.
    5. When I eat chocolate bars, I eat the outside chocolate off first.

    If it it something round (like a bagel or a hamburger) i eat it in a circle... the very middle is the last bite.
    pizza - i take a bite off the end, and then eat the rest crust first.

    I also don't eat meat off the bone, if we have ribs or fried chicken, my husband tells me I waste half because I just pick off what doesn't touch the bone.
    and when I eat a porkchop, I cut all the edges off of it, I don't know why, but to me the edges taste bad

    I also dip Oreos (when i eat them, which isnt often) in water because I don't like milk

    Steak or any other meat: I have to cut it all up before I even start eating it or anything else on the plate.

    When I eat M&M's, I eat them in color order: brown, orange, yellow, red, blue and then green.

    What are some of yours?

    I do this with M&Ms too! And Skittles, Smarties ... only my order is brown, green, yellow, orange, red, blue. I might be even worse though because I tip them out and make a rainbow across my desk!

    I also hate most sauces, won't have milk on my cereal, deconstruct biscuits and lick the cream off, bite a cross shape in my apple before eating the middle, and (weirdest of all) have to chew one mouthful on the left side of my mouth, then the right, then the left ... have ever since I was tiny!

    I do the same thing, my husband heard somewhere that doing this indicates mommy issues or something and he tells me that every time I do it.

    Now that I think about it, it's probably from year of having to do this for my kids...

    The only food that I eat in a particular way is soft pretzels. I have to eat the end nubs and middle section first, leaving the outer area in a heart shape. :heart:

    Because I :heart: soft pretzels that much.

    They only way I like corn is if it's off the cobb and mixed with mashed potatoes and gravy.

    I like my eggs over medium with hash browns and cut up sausage links all mixed up. tastes great!

    I am very much a sandwich/hamburger snob. It has to be stacked very specifically and it better be good pickles!

    **And hot food must be hot! I always serve myself last!

    I eat the ranch first before I eat the carrots, I'm just weird like that.

    I do the jelly liquifying too.

    Also I eat everything in order of least favourite thing, so for example if it was a roast dinner I'd eat sprouts (urgh), broccoli, potatoes, parsnips, meat, yorkshires. I can't mix them.

    I also can't drink the bottoms of drinks in case there's bits. Makes me feel sick.

    Nutty Bars are eaten one layer at a time.
    Only 4 ice cubes in my drinks
    Very little broth in my soups/ramen/etc
    can't look at an empty corn cob or at the seeds in a pepper-it makes me sick to my stomach.
    a little milk in my cereal-can't get really soggy.
