Do you have a strange eating habit?

red and purple skittles go together like baked beans and ketchup ON toast

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.

This made me smile! Thanks for sharing.:laugh:

1. I have to have my oatmeal Really warm or hot, so coming from the pot isn't enough. I need to put it in the microwave for 1:30 then add two tblsp of water into it to mix it well again. If it gets too cool for me, I'll get up in the middle of eating it to reheat it again.

2. I pick off the corners of buns and eat them first or I don't eat the longer pieces at all.

3. I have to eat my carbs first and then protein, on my plate.

4. I like to mix certain foods together like chicken with rutabaga on my fork. I'll take a piece of my chicken breast and a bit of my mashed rutabaga and eat it together. I also do that with beans, especially baked brown beans and mashed potatoes or rutabaga.

5. I have to cut certain sandwiches in half. And while eating, if one part is longer than the other, I have to eat the longer piece first.

6. When making oatmeal, I have to add the ingredients in certain order and technique

7. I have to drink two cups of cold water before eating breakfast and I have to have either a green tea during my breakfast or a black coffee with Stevia. Sometimes more water after if I don't feel too full.

8. I eat slowly to make it last longer, especially if it tastes good.

9. I turn my plate or bowl a lot when eat.

10. If my tea or coffee goes anywhere near luke warm, I zap it like my oatmeal.

11. I cover my mouth with my hand. It's automatic for me while people are around.

12. I don't eat the tiny ends of a banana like the tiny black thing. lol

13. I always think about breakfast and what I'm going to have and how I'm going to make it, it's nutrition, how it will serve me for the day (especially if I plan on working out that day), what flavors I want, ect. I always go for oatmeal or an oat flour, chocolate peanut butter and coffee protein drink. I make that the night before and just take it out of the fridge, make my tea or coffee and drink my water before having my shake.

Ummmm......There might be more. lol

I have to think really hard in the mornings when I'm deciding on a sweet or savoury breakfast. I literally make a mental list of pros and cons of each hahah

Also, if no one is around, I tend to just stick my fork into my steak, chicken or whatever and take bites out of it. Down with knives!!

I don't like my food to touch. I am trying to break that habit my family keep laughing at me. I eat all of one thing first and turn my plate around for the next item. I have to wash the first item down with water. I like eating sandwiches because I don't care if the foods touch each other, but I don't want anyone to talk to me when I eat the last 2 bites. I enjoy my last 2 bites.:glasses:

I do the mental list too!

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 eat twist bars the same way. :laugh:

I like pepperoni on my pizza but it has to be with another topping. It can't just be pepperoni and cheese. I also like honey mustard on my pizza

1. When I eat M&Ms or Skittles I separate them into groups by color. I then eat them in groups, two M&Ms or Skittles at a time. I eat my least favorite color first and then work my way up to my favorite color, lol.

2. Whenever I eat french fries I have to eat them two at a time. Not one, not three. Two.

3. I eat / buy everything in even numbers. 2 slices of turkey, two slices of tomato, etc. I can't eat it if it has odd numbers ... it bugs me. I know, a bit OCD.

Funny, I tend to eat my fries one at a time and never realized it till I read this ^^^

Back when I used to regularly eat 3 Musketeers candy bars, I'd break it in half, then pull the chocolate gently off the nougat, eat the chocolate by itself and then eat the nougat last. After I did that with one half I'd do the same thing with the other half. It really was sort of a ritual and I think I did that to make it take longer to eat.

OK.... now I want a 3 Musketeers! :ohwell: :noway:

I do the same with Oh Henrys. Eat the chocolate/nut coating, then the inside stick thing. My sister-in-law starts coughing any time anyone says the word salt, always has.

I dip my popcorn in mustard. People tend to think that's weird.

Hmmmm. That sounds sort of good!

When I eat a snickers, I eat the choclolate malt, then I eat the carmel and peanuts. lol

You are clearly an awesome human being!

I used to NEVER eat with a spoon, I'd always use a fork, even on soup, mashed potatoes, corn, everything people normally eat with spoons. I'm not as obnoxious about it now, but I still usually prefer a fork.

I will only eat mayonnaise on subs or roast beef sandwiches, or those mostly premade pastas where you combine the mayonnaise with a mix of like a dry packet of ranch seasonings or something.

I notice this when I eat with others, but I think it's a regular thing for me, I eat REALLY slowly, and am always the last to finish eating, and even though I'm the last to finish I'll usually only have eaten half of what everyone else has eaten.

Maybe it's a regional thing. In both states where I've lived, I've never seen someone not flatten a sandwich. You put one hand fully across the top of the sandwich. Then you put the other hand on top of the first hand. Then you press down as hard as you can. Burgers too. I honestly don't think I've ever seen anyone eat a sandwich without smashing it first. I know I've never done it.

Must be! I live in Europe(England) and I don't recall people ever doing that.
