Your weird food eating habits

Yay I'm not as weird as I thought I was!!

1. I went low carb 3 yrs ago- have since switched from it but still refuse to eat hamburgers or lunch meat on bread
2. HATE fresh tomatoes, they will be picked out by my fingers, even if I have to dig through the entire dish. However, I love ketchup, salsa, and marinara sauce.
3. Also HATE raw onions, make me gag. However I love onions rings, fried onions, sautéed onions, etc
4. I eat all of one thing on my plate before moving on to the next, saving the best for last
5. I hate glasses, prefer plastic cups
6. When eating out I must have a straw for each drink
7. Don't like my foods touching (seems common)
8. Dislike hearing others chewing, grosses me out

Husband thinks it's very strange that I want teaspoons to eat but want the bigger dinner fork over the smaller salad fork. Says it doesn't make sense, if I want a teaspoon why wouldn't I want a smaller fork? I see nothing wrong with it

Dipping my popcorn in mustard or ranch.

* I have developed a thing against crisps when I heard it used as a two word argument on the radio about why the English are not capable of cuisine: "Flavoured Crisps". Flavoured crisps are just so wrong to me now as it was said it with such disdain that's all I think of when I hear it.
* I can't eat with a large spoon, I like to use a tea spoon or ideally a sundae spoon as it feels nicer to use.
* I get cross if I don't have porridge as an option for breakfast.
* I go mad once a month and devour a cheese board...

errrm, all crisps are flavoured!

And what's wrong with English cuisine? How rude!

can someone please tell me what "crisps" are? im from the south and we dont call anythings crisps?

crisps are the English term for chips.. what they call chips are our fries.

as to what's wrong with English cuisine, voltaire already summed it up : only 2 sauces

I'll eat all of one foud at a time, then start on another one, which I'll then eat all of before moving on to another food - if there is one.

I don't have that many! The only ones I can think of is

When I'm at home, I like to eat standing up. I will prepare my food and just eat it on the kitchen counter.

I live eating Jelly sandwiches. No PB required. Which brings me to the next thing, 99% I only eat PB with a spoon out of the jar. It just taste better that way!

I eat full meals without ever drinking anything.

My taste buds tend to jump all over the place and I tend to eat weird combinations. Like the other night I ate Tilapia with a side of apple spice oatmeal. Even though they do not go together, I wanted tilapia and oatmeal so that's what I ate.

And finally when eating Twix bars, I eat the caramel top, then the cookie separate.

I put Worcestershire sauce almost everything I eat - especially if it is something with pasta. Same with Garlic. I also think that you shouldn't eat food that looks like it belongs in the garden - like Mushrooms (looks like toadstools), Broccoli (it looks like tress - Though I do love and eat it), Watercress (it looks like grass).

When eating finger food, I lick my fingers before wiping them with a napkin. My mother was revolted by this recently and compared me to a cave man. I told her it was a good thing we didn't go out for BBQ.

It's hard to tell if my foody things are normal or weird. They're normal to me!
This ->>>
- eating noises! BAAAAAAAAD. I have literally asked someone to move out because they crunched too loudly. I couldn't bear it - they either moved out or I killed them. It was that simple. Plus I used to live in Japan and my colleague would literally slurp fish-egg sandwiches at the desk next to me.

I haaaaate when people make noises when eating so much!!! I haven't lived in Japan but I work in a Japanese owned company and most of the people are Japanese, they slurp at all times!!! so much that it drives me crazy, now I put my headphones on as soon as I get to the office because I can't stand the noises!

I have to eat in an even number of pieces, or even number of bites.
when I have things like chicken nuggets I match them up in pairs by size and shape.
I also eat foods in a least favorite to favorite order.
My boyfriend thinks I'm crazy because of this.

I won't eat pork - but will eat crispy (REAL CRISPY) bacon
I won't eat fish - but will eat tuna
Can't eat jello - makes me gag
Won't eat eggs - UNLESS they're pickled
Only eat white meat chicken, dark meat is gross
I eat bread, toast, sandwiches (when I have it) from the bottom up (save the top crust - the best - for last)
I like to have whatever it is I'm drinking (if it's a cold drink) in a red solo cup

I'm sure there's more weirdness here - Haha

I hate using the full sized fork to eat. I always use the salad fork unless I'm at a really nice dinner or restaurant. the big one gags me. i feel like there is more folk than food in my mouth and if it hits my teeth - OH BOY!!

Oh yeah, bacon has to be almost burnt. hate limpy bacon.

Won't eat the same thing everyday. I get bored so easily so my pallet is very varied.

Hubby can eat full meals w/o drinking a thing. I usually down 2 glasses of water with every meal.

Eggs - I will only eat them if the egg white and egg yolk are mixed before cooking: omelette/scrambled eggs are good - fried eggs/boiled eggs - Bad. I can't explain why, I like neither the egg white nor yolk, don't like the taste or texture of either. But love them when combined before cooking.

Soup spoon - I hate eating soup with anything other than a soup spoon
Desert spoon - I prefer, by a long shot, to eat desert with a tea spoon
Small fork - at home I prefer to eat dinner with small pastry forks + butter knives
- Guess I've a sliver wear thing going on. However, I won't really complain when out except for the soup spoon.

Sugar snap peas - when eating raw, I always split them open and check for critters. My success rate is finding about 2 in every 3 bags. I don't really care when their cooked - figure it's just extra protein. In fact, when cooked will put the whole thing in my mouth and don't like to cut them, I'd rather not know if I've just eaten half a critter!

Tea should be made in a tea pot, ideally with a tea cozy, it's about the processes as much as the drink. Tea can never be drunk from a paper cup. Coffee - I've no restrictions.

~ I can't use the same plate for desert after dinner, even if rinsed, same goes for silverware.
~ I LOVE mustard and cheese sandwiches.
~ When eating a sandwich, I eat the crust first before enjoying the rest.
~ I could eat cilantro-lime rice every night and be a very happy girl...I absolutely love cilantro, nom nom nom.
~ If it doesn't have crushed red pepper on or in it, I'm probably not going to enjoy it.
~ I enjoy things like pizza and pastas a day old and heated up rather than fresh.

My mom does this, and I can't understand it. Do you really want your apple pie to taste like the salmon you ate for dinner?
