    • How do you eat _____________?

    edited December 2024 in Chit-Chat
    What are your food quirks? Do you eat certain foods in a certain way? Are you one of those people that cannot have their food touch on their plate? Me? When I eat M&M's, I eat them in color order: brown, orange, yellow, red, blue and then green. If I eat a Swiss Cake Roll, I eat the chocolate off the outside then unroll it. I dunk my Oreo's. I don't twist and I don't lick.

    What are some of yours?

      I eat all the toppings off my pizza, then eat the pizza. I eat all the noodles out of my chicken noodle soup and then eat the soup.

      I have to eat my cereal before it goes soggy.

      When I eat jelly (jell-o), I liquify it in my mouth or I can't swallow it.

      I eat yoghurt by licking it off the spoon.

      I love milk, and I love cereal, but I refuse to eat them together. I can't stand it when the milk gets warm, or when the cereal gets soggy.

      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!

      People always think I am a freak for this.
      I'm glad I'm not alone.

      My food can NOT touch. I want thing to taste like they're supposed to...not like everything else on my plate!

      I have to eat my apples cut up into slices. I feel more filled up this way. Eating an apple off the core is an empty snack to me.

      And I HATE soggy cereal. ICK!

      Funny, I prefer my cereal to be soggy - pour in the milk and wait a while! Am I the only one? I don't care if my food touches, and I like to eat a little of each thing at a time so that I finish each item at about the same time, saving the last bite of my favorite item for last.

      Beans etc can't touch anything else on my plate. Lots more I don't fancy confessing too.

      I'm the opposite. I drink all the broth then eat the noodles.

      Also, I eat penne pasta by putting the fork tines into the tubes and lifting it like a fork lift. My kids think this is an awesome way to both play with your food and also have good manners. :smile:

      I take the cheese off of my pizza. I hate messy food.

      I always eat foods like sandwiches or cookies around the edges first, then the middle.

      when eating a sandwich, I eat the crust 1st then the middle

      I eat around things. The crust off my sammiches or around a burger. The inside bite is always the best!
      My food can't touch! If I'm eating something juicy it either goes in the kids plastic divider plates or I'll put a paper towel around it to absorb the juices.
      If it has mustard in it - and I know it - no bueno.
      I tend to eat from least to most favorite and save the piece that looks the best for very last.

      I remove all cheese / toppings from my pizza and pass them to whoever will take them...
      I take my burger apart and eat the top roll first, then the salad, followed by the bottom roll and finally the burger itself...
      I can't have my rice / pasta / potato touching the meat / sauce part of my dinner, they have to be polar opposites on the plate!

      I do hate when food touches on my plate, aside from that, I don't think I'm too weird lol

      Snickers bar:
      Step 1: Take two bites off the end.
      Step 2: Eat just the chocolate off the bottom and lower half of the sides, where the nougat is.
      Step 3: Eat nougat
      Step 4: Eat peanuts and caramel with the top chocolate still on.

      Also, I have to eat bananas by splitting them into thirds vertically, where that natural split down the middle is. I have some others. I had a boyfriend once who asked, "Can't you eat anything in a normal way?"

      I haven't had them in years but when I used to eat Lucky Charms, I would eat the charms last. Or eat a Kit Kat in layers, starting with the chocolate around the edges first. Now, that I'm eating cleaner, it's not a fun haha. I don't care if my food touches and I always eat my favorite thing last.

      When I eat a sunday roast, I eat all of one veg first. I have to lift up my yorkshire pudding, to check there is no peas left before I go onto the next veg, then I do the same with that one. I do this until all veg is gone, then eat my meat and the yourkshire pudding last x

      I cut my corn off the cob then butter it if necessart. (this year the corn had been exceptionally good and no butter was necessary, YAY for saved calories!)

      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!

      Yes! I do both of these things! And the inside bite truly is best, except for the pointy part of a slice of pizza, which is double best.

      I will usually eat the food on my plate in an order.

      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!

      ditto for both of these. Never come across anyone else who liked their cereal soggy before. I can't eat it otherwise - I leave it in a bowl on the side for a while and come back to it.

      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..?
