Eating quirks

What food do you eat funny?

I was told I was totally strange for the way I eat peanut M&M's.

I take one M&M, and suck all the chocolate off. Then once that's done I split the peanut in half in my mouth.

Nibble one one slowly until it's gone, and then the other half.

It takes me about two hours to eat a bag.

    Weirdo *wink*

    umm, I'm not sure. Only thing I can think of is I eat sweet pickles right out of the jar. Can polish off a whole jar if I'm not careful.

    I'm doing this right now: eating blackberries one kernel (?) at a time. I do the same with corn. And raspberries.

    Edit: Now I'm thinking about this. I also peel the tomato skin with my teeth, all around, before I eat the actual tomato.
    Obviously it takes me a while to eat stuff like this.

    Oh! And animal crackers. I have to save the middle of those animals for last.

    Erm...I'll be pondering this while I consume this blackberry.

    I prefer to eat a lot of food cold. I will sometimes wait 10 minutes to start eating so it can really cool down.

    I cant eat yogurt with chunks in it, but I put yogurt on granola.

    I will cry if I ask for a hamburger and when I get it, it has cheese on it. This only happened once, I was driving home from university and I got a hamburger happy meal at McDonalds...when I started to eat it, it had cheese on it. I cried.

    I love raw green and orange peppers. I hate yellow and red. I have a hard time eat cooked peppers.

    I will not eat ice cream with chunks. I will not eat donuts with sprinkles. If its a soft food, it has to stay soft.

    oh, I could go on forever.............

    It's pretty gross but I lick the flavour from my crisps before I eat them....

    I love gummi bears but only when they are super stale and chewy. I'll buy a bag, open it, and let it be for a couple weeks before eating any. The pro to this method is that they are so chewy, I can only eat 4 or 5 at a time without worrying about losing a filling, so I guess my quirk helps me save on calories! =)

    haha I do pretty much the same thing with reeses peanut butter cup. I use my teeth to bite off all the chocolate so that its only the peanut butter left. Then I eat the peanut butter slowly and savor it... Mmmmm

    Too fun :tongue: Well, I rarely eat chocolate chip cookies anymore and for some reason quit eating them the way I did when I was a kid, buuuuut, when I was a kid, I would eat all around all of the chocolate chips until the cookie was gone and I had a small pile of just the chips then I would eat all the chips at once. Thanks for reminding me :laugh:

    I dont like when food is mixed together.

    Like I love corn, peas and carrots if they are separate but hate those peas, corn and carrot vegie mixes.

    I like marshmallow, nuts and raisins, but hate rocky road.

    I like raisins and sultanas but hate them mixed in a cake.

    Sometimes I take absolutely everything off my pizza, it depends if there's too much cheese or if I just don't like the cheese lol it also depends on my mood.

    I eat my food one thing at a time, starting with my least-favorite item, and finishing with my favorite -- unless saving it for last means that it gets cold. Then I follow the same progression with the warm foods. Drives my wife crazy. She also hates that I can suck on a piece of hard candy until it completely dissolves. Hers is long gone, while mine gets down to a paper-thin disc and eventually just disappears.

    Oh yea, I did (and still do honestly when I eat this) the same thing when I would eat Lucky Charms cereal. I eat all the cereal except the marshmallows and then eat all the marshmallows at once. I used to dream they would come out with a once a year type limited time box of Lucky Charms that were all Charms...o.m.g. LOL

    I eat Twix bars by eating the chocolate off the sides and ends first, then I eat the chocolate and caramel off the top and then I eat the cookie bottom last. I also eat Lucky Charms by eating all the oat pieces first, then I eat the marshmallows in order of least to most according to how many of each shape are left!

    I used to eat my animal crackers legs first becuase I did not want them to run off. Now I bite the heads off first, it's more humaine that way.

    I do this with a lot of candy bars. Butterfingers, Reese cups, ect. I also do the thing with the peanut m&m's. I don't like things mixed together. I prefer layers. Salad, yogurt and fruit/honey, burritos. Really pisses me off when pancheros "bobs" my burrito! Lol

    Me TOO!!! but after I ate all the cereal, I ate the marshmallows in color order... Pink hearts, Yellow Moons, Orange Stars, Green Clovers. Then when I was a little older they came out with the Blue Diamonds. That was okay. Then they came out with rainbows, that was okay too. I just added them to the end. Then they had crazy mixed up marshmallows, and that just made it too hard, and I simply stopped buying them. I think I need to give them another shot. I also ate Trix cereal one color at a time.

    lol now that I think about it, I do the same with other candybars as well... kit kat bars I eat all the chocolate and separate the wafter layers and eat those separately... I've done that to butterfingers and twixes as well.... glad to know i'm not the only one like this, I was starting to get worried lol!

    Not sure if it's an eating quirk, but I believe PBJ and other sammies taste best when spreads are evenly spread/distributed across the bread. My hubby puts gobs in the middle of the bread, barely spreads it and it makes me insane, lol gobs of mayo or gobs of PB. I also have to eat the outsides of my sandwiches first and love having the softest middle part as my last bite instead of the dastardly crusts. :D

    Little Debbie's Swiss Rolls - eat the chocolate coating first, then unwrap the roll, eat the chocolate cake and lick out the vanilla cream in the center...

    Frosted Pop Tarts - eat the crusts first, then peel the crust off of the back of the Pop Tart, which leaves the frosting and the 'center' to enjoy all by itself! Sweetness heaven!

    When I eat salad in public I fold the lettuce up into a little parcel, then skewer it on the fork with other veggies and things in the salad. I like it to be neat, otherwise I'll get salad dressing all over my face. I didn't know this was weird until my Dad pointed out what I was doing. Then he said to me "One day, a man will fall in love with you for the way you eat your salad." Not sure I beleive that :P

    When I eat a Snickers bar, I eat all four sides of chocolate first, then the peanut and caramel layer, and then the nougat! That's my fav!

    Apparently how I eat any of my food is weird. If I have four different things on my plate I have to eat one section before I move on to another, then the next....etc. I will never take a bite of corn then go take a bite of beans and I didn't realize it till this last year in college when my friends said something!
