Do you have a strange eating habit?

I eat kiwi fruit with the skin on, and am very specific about the order I eat my breakfast in, but am not bothered at other meals. I also dip my toast into my coffee and pull all the chocolate off of stick ice creams before I eat the centre.

What about you?

    Sandwiches, burgers, crackers, cookies, steak, etc...I eat the corners and edges first and make my way toward the center.

    Enchiladas, burritos, chimichangas, crepes, omelets, etc...I eat a bite from each end until I reach the center.

    When I eat French toast, I cut off all the crusts first and eat those. Then all the way around again, then again until I have a soft square left. I tend to do that with steak as well. Or any meat that's served in a big piece. But I don't do that with pancakes.

    Oh, this too. You know how waffles have the criss-cross lines? And grilled steak has the sear marks that criss-cross on it? When I was a kid, I thought those were the lines you were supposed to cut on. I still do that.

    I have several water bottles that I use. I add ice all the way to the top then fill with water. I must drink ALL of it before adding more ice or water unless what's added is measured too (cause I am a little OCD about counting the ounces)

    My boyfriend is like that. No mayo, no ketchup, no bbq sauce, no cream cheese, no cheese sauce, nadda. He says he likes to taste his food, not the condiments. It makes me giggle - I'm the condiment queen. I've used chicken wings as more of a spoon to eat the blue cheese dressing than anything else!

    When I eat a banana, I never finish the whole thing. I always leave about 1.5"

    No idea why...

    If i am eating say steak with mashed potatoes or vegetables,the last 2 bites on the plate have to be one of each. A bite of steak and one of the side dish. If i finish the steak first, i don't want the rest of the potatoes anymore. If i finish the potatoes first i don't want the rest of the steak without it.

    I teach preschool. I have a kid in my class who won't finish a banana ever, also. He says that the part of the banana that is still in the peel as you're holidng it is "The banana's butt" and he refuses to eat it.

    I never put any dressing on my salads, I've just never liked it. I have tried some of the fruity spritzers though and those were okay.

    I don't eat the end of a banana either. The little black thing at the end bothers me.

    I always press down my sandwiches and pastries, I later learned this a common tick in people with eating disorders.

    I also always eat the crusts in toasts and sandwiches and other little things like take hamburgers apart and eat the burger and bread seperately..I have no idea why I do this.

    I'm pretty sure everybody presses down their sandwiches. Otherwise you have things falling out all over the place. Sandwich pressing is just normal. My parents taught me when I was a kid. It was a rule, like using a fork or not slurping your milk.

    If I have a plate of food, I'll eat the stuff I like least first. Don't know why--it's not as if i was a member of the Clean Plate Club as a kid. I guess I just want it gone so I can concentrate on the stuff I really like.

    In Italy this is a very common thing. :)

    I eat Twix by eating the chocolate edges first, then the caramel off the top, and then the cookie bottom. I also eat Lucky Charms by eating all the oat pieces first then the marshmallows in order by shape with the most to the shape with the least.

    Can not compute. Condiments are the only reason fries exist. The fries are the spoons for the condiments.

    I can't eat any meat off the bone. Not really a habit more so a phobia.

    Well my friends tease me because apparently I take the tiniest bites ever haha. I like to eat the surroundings first before the middle.

    I never finish the last few tablespoons of water in the bottom of my water bottle. To me it's just gross.

    Bread has to be eaten only if it's super fresh and soft, otherwise I toast it.

    I tend to eat whatever is on my plate in equal portions, so there's always little bit of something in each bite until I finish.

    I eat my fruit-bottom yoghurt from the top down - I never mix it.

    ETA: (my husband reminded me of this) I can't eat any pasta without there being parmasean cheese.
