    Oh and tuna lettuce wraps but instead of normal cheese and mayo I add a couple finely chopped chunks of blue cheese, half a serving of light mayo, and all the sriracha my heart desires. If it was OK to have for lunch and dinner every day you better believe I would!

    Dipping french fries in ice cream- it's not just me!!! Before my weight loss, I used to dip my french fries in mayonnaise.

    The whole of Holland and Belgium dip their french fries in mayo.

    Well, when I still ate sandwiches, I MUST eat the crust off first and must eat the sandwich in to a rectangle or square. I usually do it with hamburgers too. Eat the outside part and shape it in to a square/rectangle.

    I usually save what I love the most for last. Like for crispy chicken.. I take the skin off and save it for last. Fatty piece of meat... save it for last. Beef stew? Save the meat for last.

    Cooked fruit (other than berries) grosses me out to no end. It always sounds good, like apple pie, or peach cobbler or something, but I can not stomach the texture or the flavor of cooked fruit. BLEH!

    Absolutely no fruit is allowed in my salads. That also grosses me out. Especially if the person also adds a regular salad dressing to it. Yuck

    Celery & carrots raw= ok. Celery & carrots cooked to where they're still crunchy= NOT OK. Celery & carrots cooked to mushy= yum

    Other than fried chicken... left over chicken weirds me out and I usually don't eat it. Hubs gets mad at me for wasting food.

    And finally (I have more weird food things but can't think of more atm)... melons kind of gross me out after they've been cut. When they're freshly cut.. YUM! But leftover melon... I always have this feeling that it has spoiled and is rotten, so I don't usually end up eating any leftovers.

    Dijon mustard with everything, excluding sweets.
    I tend not to make dishes just all ala carte items (fish, asparagus, potatoes)

    I tend not cook with oil because I like tho eat my fats (nut butter, coconut oil chocolate)

    Oreos dipped in peanut butter is AMAZING, as are fresh-out-of-the-oven, still-warm brownies with butter and salt on top.

    omg. must. try.

    Well maybe not technically with the food cause the list would go on for days but I guess my family finds it pretty weird I know the macronutrient content of almost every single protein and vegetable source off the top of my head and pretty exact at guessing/ estimating portions just from tracking so long and doing contest preps😂 it’s a curse and a blessing....

    Cut in half, spray with olive oil, under broiler until just charred. It will blow your mind. Top with salsa as a side dish.

    I do this too, but I drizzle with olive oil and grill cut side down on a cast iron griddle pan until charred. Dot with ranch or blue cheese dip or balsamic.

    Store cottage cheese tubs upside down, forming a nice textured creamy top layer (similar to top layer pudding)

    No way, franks red hot for the win!


    I like to burn my zucchini and veggies when I cook them in a pan so they have a nice and crisp charcoal flavor. Then I scrap the burnt stuff caked on the pan and top it on the veggies, lol. I like to add hot sauce, TONS of onion powder (so it forms a nice thick layer), nosalt salt, and stevia to pretty much everything. At cook outs I always burn my hot dogs so they are black.

    I sometimes like to cook my chicken in the oven for like an hour so it ends up super dry and hard. (I am weird and like dry chicken)

    I think I already mentioned maple syrup on salad.

    Our neighborhood Vietnamese restaurant doesn’t have salads on the menu but they do have lettuce that they serve with egg rolls. So I always order a side of lettuce, roll it up, and eat it straight. My husband tells me I’m part rabbit.

    And nobody seems to appreciate my Wickles spicy pickles with almond butter on sprouted wheat toast.

    I have been known to put cauliflower in my oats with strawberries... not that strange I guess.

    Making a sandwich for breakfast from Saturday night’s leftover beans.

    Sunday morning breakfast made with leftover baked beans, fried eggs and possibly bacon, was common in my house. Makes a great meal

    ( ex Bostonian ) ;)

    My favorite thing recently has been - tortilla, a pat of butter (5g) spread on top, and then about 4tsp (10g) of grated parmesan cheese sprinkled on top (the kraft kind, haha). Cook it in the microwave about 45 seconds.

    My bottle of Red Boat fish sauce that I ordered online arrived, so I did a fish sauce taste test. Tasting was done on plain rice. I expected to like Red Boat best based on this article.
    https://ourdailybrine.com/fish-sauce-taste-test/

    However I actually prefer the two brands I physically purchased on Phu Quoc island while on vacation. They were Hung Thanh (previous trip) and Hong Duc (this trip). I understand the appeal of Red Boat, being very mellow with no fishiness. I prefer my fish sauce to be a little more funky. The fourth bottle I have in the house is Tiparos (from Thailand, not Phu Quoc) which is apparently the best of the cheap brands. Still mellow but fisher than the other three brands.

    Red Boat and Hung Thanh only contain anchovies and salt. Hong Duc also contains a flavour enhancer E627. Tiparos contains water, anchovies, salt and sugar.

    If I eat a cupcake, I must pull the bottom off, put it on top of the frosting and eat it like a little cupcake sandwich. That's as strange as I get.

    Doesnt this make the popcorn soggy?

    No, because you don't need much to add a lot of flavor. Just a few drops goes a long way.
