    If we're having mashed potatoes, I always take a small scoop and make it into the biggest hollowed out volcano possible. If "icky" vegetables (like over cooked peas :s ) are being served I'll put them in the middle of the volcano and then fill it with gravy (and if the veggies are something I like, then I just fill the volcano with gravy...and don't waste the space.) ;)

    Turkey dinner...love the cranberries, but they can't touch anything.

    Franks Hot Sauce on popcorn.

    In general I'm a condiment addict. I might eat a few chips with a ton of salsa.

    As far I I am concerned chips are merely a conveyor for salsa or other dips. If I could double dip I would...or just get a spoon and dig in.

    I just eat salsa with a spoon, right from the jar, haha. I don't like chips; they're pointless calories, to me.
  • I made the switch from cow milk to almond milk at least a year ago... It's milder on my tummy and I like the taste. But if I'm eating pancakes at any point, I have to have whole milk so I can eat a bite of pancake and swish it around in my mouth with the milk. It's not the same with almond milk. The same goes with dunking cookies into milk.

    oh yeah. I agree 100%. I have found though that instead of buying dairy milk just to dunk some cookies in, I'm satisfied with coffee or tea (black) for dunking purposes. I love almond milk but it just doesn't work...say with Oreos...no. It's not happening!

    Cow's milk is so bad for you. I've been a vegan for 3 years, now. I only drink almond milk.

    The three of us need to go out for Mexican some time. Tell the server no chips...just a three big spoons and extra salsa please.

    Not gonna lie, I've done that!
    Well, actually it was a mexican buffet, but I basically loaded up on condiments and everyone kept harrasing me about it. Haha!

    The individual dishes on my plate must not touch , because I want to experience each dish as it was intended. I will scrape off any offending food that touches inappropriately before eating.

    I eat M&Ms in color order: brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue.

    When eating French fries I bite it in half, making sure that one half is on the right side of my mouth and the other half on the left side of my mouth, before I feel I'm getting the full experience and enjoyment from the food. I found out not long ago that one of my sons does this, too.

    When eating toast, I eat the crust off first, because the soft middle is the best part and I want to enjoy it last.

    I tend to eat the food on my plate in clockwise order, starting with veggies and ending at the main dish.

    The poster who mentioned doing a little happy humming dance when she ate something she really enjoyed brought back memories of my youngest brother who did the exact same thing. He would hum and wiggle around in his seat.
  • I used to eat entire jars of Spanish olives in a sitting.

    YUM!

    Didn't realize how many people do the dance and hum thing when eating something yummy. I do that ALL THE TIME and people think it's so cute. My sister did it, too.

    Some think it's already weird to "say Grace" before eating :sad:, but I do so, sometimes before & after.

    I eat one food first before I have the next one on my plate. I also save the crusts on pop tarts for the very end.

    Luckily not anymore, but I used to chew/spit when I wanted to taste something decadent that was outside my diet. It was pretty bad.

    I don't know if it's a weird habit or not, but when we go out to eat and I see something I've never had on the menu, that's what I will order.

    I'm a chili-oholic. I put various chili products on almost everything: Tabasco, Sriracha, korean red pepper flakes, Sambal Oelek.

    I love that burning and almost numbing sensation in my mouth. Can feel a little wave of beta-endorphins hit me when I reach the right amount of pain/burn.

    I tear excess bread or tortilla, etc off of everything I eat. Doesn't matter...sandwich, burrito, taco, quesadilla. If there is extra that's just plain bread you can bet it will be in a separate picked apart pile on my plate soon enough lol. I never really thought about it until someone pointed it out, and then at that point I was just like YAY I'm eating less carbs!...sort of lol.

    Any sort of burger or uncut sandwich must be turned as I eat it, so that I'm eating around the whole thing and working may way towards the center. And if a sandwich is cut in half, I have to eat the outer, crust portions first.
