As I sit here eating my homemade chili (made with ground turkey, of course), I realize that everytime I eat chili, I do it the same way. First I will eat all the beans, then I will eat the meat, and then finally I will eat the juice. I ALWAYS eat it like that..... not sure why.

What are some of your "strange" eating habits? :embarassed:

    -tiny bites
    -always use fork (even with hot wings)
    -i do a weird tapping thing to get all the crumbs off - i do this subconsciously now, kind of weird
    -i wipe my mouth after almost ever bite
    -i rarely eat with people. i always think they are thinking "she shouldn't eat that!"


    it's the only thing I'm OCD with, hahaha!

    I eat all my veggies first, then meat and carbs last. I find I stay full longer.. rather than eating the veggies (or fruit) last.

    I'll pour milk in my cereal and eat the cereal but dump out the milk rather than drink it.

    When eating wings I only use 2 fingers. I'm usually the only clean on at the end of the night.

    My food CAN NOT under ANY circumstances touch each other. Hubby jokes that there are invisible little dividers in my plate and the food can't cross it.

    I am similar, I go veggies, then carbs, the meat. I only do this if I eat at home, if I am out I do eat a bit of everything but always leave a bite or 2 of meat for the end.

    I also do this with bagels, doughnuts, etc. Not that I eat bagels and doughnuts very often anymore!

    I prefer the middles and always save the best bite for last! I also tend to shake most things before eating/drinking - milk, juice, condiments, etc, even if they don't need shaking! Oh yeah - and before it passes the lips it MUST pass the smell test!

    I eat one thing at a time too. Not in any particular order though. AND, I'm the slowest eater I know. Everyone always comments on how slow I eat. Bite me. :wink:

    I eat all the toppings off pizza, then cheese, then the sauce, and last eat the crust. I've done this every since I was little. No idea why.

    I've done this too. My mother in law bought some of those old cafeteria lunch trays with the sectioned off areas just for me when I come over to eat.

    I eat my veggies first at dinner - to get them out of the way. I eat pizza crust first so I can enjoy the best, cheesy part until my last bite. I also abandon buns/rolls/bread frequently on sandwiches. I'll have a few bites with the bun, but then I ditch it and eat the sandwich fillings with a fork and knife.

    Ha ha, awesome! Everyone always looks at me weird when I do it. The middle is the best!

    i don't always do this but i find myself doing it about half the time :)

    plus i have chocolate chips on every bowl of cereal, practically. i love love love dill pickles and have been known to have one as an appetizer to anything i eat, including cereal.

    i scrape the cream off oreos and eat the each half of the cookie once the cream is gone.

    peanut butter on top of ice cream...that's happened.

    ummmmmmm. i'm sure there are more habits/weird combos. but my brain is fried right now.

    i *always* save my yummiest looking french fry (or super yummy covered nacho chip) for last.

    then some *kitten* comes by and says "oh yum! can i have one?" and takes the f00king one i'd been saving.

    My hubby mixes EVERYTHING! I don't mind if mine touches, but really--mixing everything together at every meal??? He made bacon blueberry pancakes.

    I on the other hand will eat fried chicken, but peel off the skin first. I also will eat the hotdog or hamburger out of the bun and throw the bun out. I also eat the topping off pizza and throw out the bottom part of the crust, then the crunchy outer crust I dip in olive oil & parmesan.

    I see a lot of mine up there already but....

    Nothing can touch.
    I cant eat ANYTHING with mustard in it., on it or near it.
    I eat the crust off my sandwiches first.
    I eat around things like burgers and donuts.
    I have to pick the top and edge crust off a pie. its gross to me. But the mooshy crust at the bottom is yummy.
