    any Auzzies and Kiwis out there would know about the amazing tasting Vegemite (a yeast spread which is still an all time favourite for me) ...anyway i was fussy and skinny as a child and the only thing I would ever really eat is vegemite and tomato sauce sandwichs and if i was allowed I would add salt n vinger chips into them and it had to be white bread no crusts! still think it tastes pretty delish too :ohwell:

    Kiwi here :)
    Love vegemite or marmite with salt and vinagar chips YUM!!!
    I'm so buying some s&v chips on the way home now lol

    My sister used to sit underneath our kitchen table after dinner and eat a mixture of butter and grated parmesan cheese. It was weird.

    I could eat salt straight out of the shaker. Still crave salt a ton after working out.

    I loved peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Any food that I did not like but had to eat such as liver I would dip each piece in green goddess dressing.

    1. Mayonnaise sandwiches

    2. Fish sticks mashed up with mayonnaise & ketchup on white bread

    3. Eating all the chocolate off a Butterfinger without eating the candy on the inside

    -Scrambled eggs w/honey (my mom served eggs this way so my baby brother would eat them).
    -Bread (white) buttered and heavily coated with sugar.
    -Pancakes with cottage cheese and smothered in maple syrup (still do this).

    Mustard sandwiches. And hated pizza till I was 16, thought it was the grossest thing with all the ingredients mixed together on it!

    Mustard sandwiches were the best. My grandparents were German and had a collection of spicy mustards.

    I picked up weird habits from my grandma (sugar on baked beans, butter on powdered sugar doughnuts, green onion dipped in salt, etc).

    The grossest thing I did was that I used to dip my sandwiches in my water, let them get SUPER SOGGY and then eat them. I don't understand where any of this came from.

    I used to eat butter. Just plain butter. The thought makes me gag now.

    Apparently I used to eat pool table chalk too. I don't remember that but that's what my siblings said I did.

    I would eat globs of cold spaghetti...it tasted even better if a bunch was stuck together!

    I use to eat just bread and ketchup and mashed potatoes and ketchup (which I still do to this day). Perhaps I have an obsession with ketchup, I do put it on my eggs still as well.

    Also I would eat McDonald's cheeseburgers by eating the patty and cheese without the bun. Then I would put fries on the bun with ketchup and eat a 'fry burger."

    Crushed up saltine crackers with half and half in a big bowl was a comfort food my grannie got me started on. I still crave it when I'm not feeling good. Now, I eat 7 or 8 saltines and a half a cup of skim milk, instead of a whole sleeve of crackers and 2 cups of half and half. (about 800 fewer calories per serving, my way)

    I really liked going to fast food restaurants not because of the food, but because I liked drinking those little coffee creamer cups like shooters...lol

    THANK YOU!!! I thought I was the only one....my husband thinks I'm super weird.

    I remember my grandma serving this to me as a kid, but it was saltines and evaporated milk. Maybe it was a cheap cereal during the depression era. LOL!

    I used to eat "bologna rolls" which was basically slices of bologna filled with mayo like little burritos, the idea of it now makes me want to ralph.

    Crazy food habits I still have:

    I usually eat all of one food on my plate before I go onto the next.
    My food can't touch each other.
    I love applesauce and rice mixed up together.

    My brother and I would drip water drops into the Tang container and eat the hardened Tang when they dried.
