Weird Food Quirks

I wont eat my food if someone has entered into the kitchen while i have been cooking it.
I wont eat certain foods in public.. i.e Bread, rice,banana's,dips,eggs,potato (heaps more) .... most things are "pale" in apperence..
Some foods i'm only allowed a certain number at a time .. i.e blueberrys is 20 ...sultanas 5 .......

i could go on and on....

This past year my friends at school started to make fun of me for my eating habits... so I feel all of your pain!

Let's see...

1. Nothing can touch on my plate..( when I was younger my mom told me how her mother used to put everything together and the water from the peas would mix with the blood from the meat and the ketchup too... yech)
2. Any sandwich is better with cheddar and sour cream chips on it.
3. All sandwiches crusts must be eaten first. The middle part of the sandwich usually gets torn into pieces and then eaten.

That's all I can think of for now, but I know there are other weird habits!

i'm the same with crusts!! except if its been toasted i pull crust off then eat it last!!
dont eat bread atm though....

I'm pleased to see so many people eat chocolate bars layer by layer, I thought I was just a complete weirdo for doing that!

This ones kind of hard to describe but one thing I can't eat because it really goes through me is cauliflower florets that have gaps in them, so all the "leaves" aren't touching.

Oh, and whenever I eat baked beans the sauce can absolutley NOT touch anything on my plate!

Chips and mayo is normal in the Netherlands and if you like peanut butter on your pancakes, you should try Nutella (chocolate spread)! My boyfriend can't eat anything that squeaks - it makes him sick.

This is so interesting! I personally am not a picky eater, but I do have one or two quirks:
- I have texture issues with foods that "squeak" against my teeth, like raw spinach and some kinds of raw lettuce. I eat them, but I usually try to have some sort of dressing or olive oil on them to get rid of the squeak.
- I like to put peanut butter and syrup on my pancakes, which my dad finds horrifying.
- On the rare occasion I eat peanut butter M&M's, I like to smush them between my fingers before popping them in my mouth.

Other odd food quirks from loved ones:
- My best friend can't stand eating with a spoon. She thinks spit pools up on a spoon and gets so disgusted. She will only eat cereal with a spoon, eats ice cream with a fork, and avoids soups altogether because of the spoon issue.
- My husband dips his fries in just mayo (gagggg!! And so unhealthy!!)
- My in-laws like to put salt and vinegar chips in a cup of buttermilk and eat them with a spoon. So weird.

I don't have any food quirks obviously that's why I am where I am today!! lol:laugh:

My hubby eats mayo on his hot dogs and corn dogs, Gags me still after 20 + years! No ketsup or mustard just mayo!

My son won't eat cheese on his hamburgers but loves grilled cheese sandwiches and nachos!:ohwell:

I like to bite the different gummy bear heads off and attach them to a different colored body before I eat them (I haven't had any in forever!)

I do this too. Draw and quarter in some cases... Someone should come up with a mini gummy bear torture set.

I will not order an omelet in a restaurant. I have to have mine crispy with some of the cheese squeezed out and burnt. I also have to have my scramble eggs crispy too.

It can take me up to 4 hours to drink a 12 oz Pepsi, but I can drink 16 oz of coffee in seconds....lol

I can only eat beets cold and dipped in Ranch

I love to steam my brussels sprouts then saute them in a little olive oil and lemon juice

I plant and grow sweet peas but they never make it into the house, I will pick and eat them straight from the garden.

I LOVE love love this thread more than you can imagine.. haha! I did not know it was here to begin with when i asked a similar question of my own..

I have some super whack job food issues...

I cant drink milk unless it is a closed container ( traveler coffee mug).....
I cant eat most oranges and bananas because of the stringies... ( i have a HUGE texture issue).....
Even if i am the one who cooked it and knows exactly what went into it.. if it looks funny or smells funny i refuse to eat it....
I HATE it when my food touches, or the juice from something runs into something else....
I have to eat everything separately and if there are 2 things of a matching color on the plate i can not eat them on after the other...
i can ONLY eat gummy bears, or any squishy gummy candy) if they have been in the freezer, i cant do the squishyness in my fingers... ( the texture thing)....
I take utensils with me everywhere i go and i use them... ( even other peoples houses)....
I cant eat tomatoes, bell peppers, cantaloupe, pumpkins etc, unless someone else has cut out all the side slimey seedy parts,,,
i cant eat chips if i dont like the shape of them...
i can not eat crust on bread unless i take it off and put it inside the sandwich...
The only way i will eat eggs is if they are cubed or such in a salad or in egg salady type foods.. hard boiled and scrambled and such are a no go for me...
I cant eat anything if something was added to it to make it a different color ( mashed potatoes mixed with gravy,)

Oh my the list is so long.. please no one think you are weird for these things.. they are quirks and quirks make you loveable!!!!!!
