    I am a color-sorter, even-number stickler, and I used to ALWAYS pick things apart. Burgers I would pull apart, scrape the condiments off the bread and onto the patty, eat that, then eat the bread. When I ate McDonalds I would always dip the bottom half of my bun in my Coke. I still cannot eat one of those peanut butter-wafer cookies (nutty bars?) without peeling it apart. And I used to get a bowl of popcorn, take a piece, bite off the end with the leftover kernel and put the soft, round part back in the bowl. I would do that until all the kernel ends were gone, then eat the soft parts.

    One of my friends used to badger me to eat at Wendy's so she could get a frosty and fries and dip the fries in the ice cream.

    Also Miss Vickie's Sea salt and Malt vinegar chips dipped in vinegar until my tongue hurts. I also used to suck on vinegar packets when I was younger.

    Edit: I still do that to popcorn but I eat it right away. Kernel end on one side of my mouth soft part on the other.

    This is sort of cathartic. The more I think about it the more there are lol
    Regular Chips dipped in chocolate pudding
    Cold pizza and any pizza for that matter I peel all the toppings off and eat them first then lick off the pizza sauce (only when no one's looking) and eat the bread/crust last.
    Frozen fries usually just before I put them in the oven but it's happened where i simply had no interest in cooking them..
    Cold chef boyardee and just thawed pizza pops (I blame camping as a teenager where drinking took precedence over eating for these ones)
    I'm sure there are more but I can't continue on this path as it's making me crave a lot of my vice foods.

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

    No idea why...


    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.

    :laugh: That's cute! Sad too, that I have something in common with a preschooler, lol.

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

    Me neither. The dimple thing scares me. My husband things that it is hilarious that I am scared of a little bit of banana.

    And I am also scared of egg whites unless they are cooked firm. Uncooked egg white on top of the yolk of a fried egg is just horrific.

    I have difficulty eating an entire apple so I save them until my tummy is growling, not for a snack. Also, sometimes I'll drink pickle juice and if I'm gonna eat peanut butter it's gotta be refrigerated, not room temp. However, leftover pizza can NOT be a) cold as in refrigerated or b) reheated. It HAS to be room temp or I'm ticked. Likewise things like pizza pops, microwave burritos, gooey pizza etcetc I have to eat with a knife and a fork. I hate having sticky or greasy fingers.

    I eat one thing at a time and I mostly don't mind eating things plain with no condiment. Drive my mom crazy because she likes to add sauce or condiment on anything.

    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

    That's like me for EVERY meal... when I have two or more 'potential meals' in my house, I have such a hard time choosing which of those meals I should eat

    I can not drink out of a can. I am always afraid something crawled into the can when I wasn't looking. Same with keeping water by my bed. It can't be an open container. If it is I have to turn on the light and check it before drinking just in case there is a spider in the glass.

    Yes I need help.

    One time I was drinking a Dr. Pepper in a bottle and felt something in my mouth. I assumed it was a piece of syrup or something and bit into it. It squirted! I spit it out and guess what it was? A roach egg. Not kidding.

    :sick::sick: :sick: :sick: oh. my. god.

    A couple. With pizza I eat only the cheese first, then the sauce, then the dough... I savor it. If the pizza isn't made with good cheese I don't want it.

    Also, I like mixing stuff together that I don't eat at restaurants.

    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.

    Exactly! Get the crappy stuff out of the way. I also do this with candy flavors.

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


    SAME!
    Always have eaten the edges and outsides of things first before i eat the centre...dont know why...makes it better...somehow :P

    Wow, a lot of people seem to do this. I thought I was the only one. My family used to tease me about it.

    Apparently I am part of a great crowd. I wonder what you call folks like us? Circumfrencists? Oo

    I don't bite sandwiches or burgers. I rip pieces off and eat them. Have always done this and don't know why.

    What an AWESOME thread! I love it!
    Some of my weird things...
    -I grew up eating Cheez Whiz and jelly sandwiches.
    -I always butter my pancakes or french toast from the bottom so it sits on the butter and melts.
    -When I make toasted cheese sandwiches, or open faced, I salt and butter it before I eat it.
    -Srirachi hot sauce on as much food as possible. <3 that stuff.
    -I always cut up all my food on the plate before I eat it as though I was feeding a little kid. No idea why.

    I am also a frozen food eater- veggies, pizza, oven chips

    I eat a lot of things with my hands at home, that you would probably normally eat with cutlery. Eggs on toast, pasta (not spaghetti though) salad, basically anything that isn't in a broth

    I split chocolates in half and let one half dissolve in my mouth but chew the other normally

    If I bake muffins in paper muffin cases, I chew the paper when I'm finished (but don't swallow it)

    I frequently ate dessert first, then the main meal second. My mother told me I have been doing that since I was a child. However I haven’t been doing that since I started MFP 'cause I have cut out sweets considerably.
    I habitually suck the juices from prawn (shrimp) heads before eating the flesh, but the prawn has to be fresh.
    I also like to try exotic stuff, like silk worm larvae when I was in China and green ants in NT, Australia.

    I like to eat all the salt off of pretzel sticks, let them dry in a pile and then eat them.

    When I was young, none of my food could touch on the plate. I would tell my mom that 'it was ruining my circus'

    Can't drink the last inch of beer in a bottle or can , I think it gets too warm for my tastes

    I have to eat the whites of fried eggs first. Then, I have to eat the yolks on toast. If I don't have toast I have to have my eggs scrambled.

    this is me too! but I have to have two pieces of toast. I keep one uncut, and the other cut in half. I use the cut one to dip in my eggs and the non cut one to put the whites ontop and eat the toast with the rest of the eggs on it. lol

    The only way I'll eat radishes is with vanilla ice cream.
