Freaky Eaters??

I'm watching this TV show called "Freaky Eaters" that follows people who have strange eating habits. For example, the last episode I watched was about a lady who ate NOTHING but potatoes with cheese on them. She would get physically sick whenever presented with a new food. And the episode I'm watching now is about a lady who is addicted to eating corn starch.

So, what's the "freakiest" thing you've ever eaten? Any weird food combos you like? Any non-traditional foods?

I feel like I haven't really eaten anything too freaky. Maybe raw octopus... but that's not too atypical.

    What channel is that? Sounds interesting!

    Is that the same show where the people eat laundry detergent and toilet paper?

    I'm a picky eater and don't eat weird foods. But I have an odd eating habit: Every time I eat, the first bite gets chewed on my right side and the next bite is slightly large than the first and gets chewed on my left side. And repeat. I have a weird thing that because my right side is my dominant side, I need to do more for my left to make both sides equal?

    Possibly, I'm just watching it for the first time. It's on TLC.

    I've eaten cooked chicken hearts and thought they were really good, until I started really thinking about what I was eating and became a little ill, its just like liver I love the smell but the taste is awful. I've also had moose and have to say yummy!! I know these aren't too strange or freaky but to some they might be.

    How strange! I do something similar, but just because a filling I just got on my left side is messed up and I need to get it replaced :tongue:

    Yes! That's it then! I've never seen an episode where they actually have a food "problem". All the ones I have seen are household items, or things that shouldn't be eaten/drank! I've only seen about 8 episodes though..I'll have to record the one's that are on when I'm not home.

    Probably blood sausage or frogs legs...the blood sausage was...interesting at best. The frogs legs were fine, but not worth the work...

    My parents love Hawaiian pizza, which is just pineapple and ham. I think it's gross, mostly because I don't like warm pineapple.

    Strange Addiction is the show where they eat the household items. Freaky Eaters is generally just food items (I watch all these shows :smile: )

    I eat all of my foods one at a time off of my plate. Casseroles drive me crazy because they are all mixed together. I also don't let my foods touch. Where they touch, I don't eat. I have had quite a few 'freaky' foods. I have had a lot of authentic Chinese, Taiwanese, Middle Eastern, Ethiopian foods. Please don't ask what most of them are. I honestly couldn't tell you.

    The oddest thing I do with food is salt my ice cream. Seriously guys, try it! The flavor of the ice cream itself gets a lot deeper and tastier!

    Other than that I'd try just about anything at least once. Moving to Japan this fall so I'm REALLY looking forward to trying chicken sashimi,innards yakitori, fugu and so on.

    I'm not very adventurous when it comes to trying things that have Liver, or Kidney or heart in the title, but I do quite like Haggis.

    My Scottish partner cannot stand it!

    A Japanese dish. I think it was called Somen? It was squid noodles in a squid ink sauce. One bite was all I could handle.

    I don't do this now, but all throughout college my favorite ice cream combo would be mint chocolate chip and then smothering it all with peanut butter. SO GOOD

    I'll eat almost anything when I'm hungry (and have) but I guess the stranger things are when I eat things. Like, I'll eat a cucumber for breakfast or something. Although, I do love sour cream. Almost everything is better with sour cream (which is why I stay the heck away from it).

    Also the kids tell me air popped popcorn with chili powder is gross and tastes like cardboard but I like it =)

    True that, although I'll use just about any ice cream!

    I used to dip my mcdonalds chips into milkshakes.

    I did that too - it was so good.

    I like putting potatoe chips on my PB sandwichs.<<<
    I love to crumble tostitos over chocolate ice cream<<<

    Obviously the above 2 I no longer eat

    I love a fried egg sandwich with cheese and strawberry jam
