    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.

    I also dip my toast into my coffee

    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.

    I hate all condiments!

    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.

    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?
    I also do that to ice cream and when i'm done i chew/bite on the stick for a while.

    I've never seen anyway else press down their sandwich except me. All my friends at school thought it was very strange. I did stop doing it a while back since people always use to point it out. Yeah sure people hold their sandwiches together when eating the sandwich but flatten down the whole thing, erm I don't think that's common.

    I eat food in even numbers (i.e. 8 pretzels, 16 almonds, etc.) I know it's a "bit" OCD. My only exception being when it's a one piece type thing like steak. I think it all started with ice cubes actually. If a serving size is an oddnumbr I'll either go up or down one just to make it even.

    I have a friend who won't eat the ends of hotdogs...I think that's weird

    My brothers have always thought I was weird for doing this...

    If I have meat, mashed potatoes, and a vegetable. I will combine the potatoes and veggies together. Then, I put a piece of the meat on my fork and dip it into my potato/veggies mixture.

    OR, I'll just combine that whole sha-bang and eat it.

    Also, if I'm eating something that's multi-colored (like M&Ms) I sort them first and eat them based on how many I have of each color (least always goes first and if I have the same amount in two colors they get saved til the end and eaten together in twos).

    My friend does something similar. She loves Paydays. So she picks off all of the nuts (no, she doesn't eat them) then eats the inside.

    What makes it worse is that I live in Pittsburgh, PA (US) where Heinz Ketchup is headquartered!
