I detest beans so much I can't bare watching anyone eat them and would rather not have them in my house. I also was abit funny with other peoples sandwiches, I could only enjoy my mams and grandmas as a kid, other peoples were awful and tasted wrong and I prefer making my own now. I am not one for condiments and would rather taste food that it be covered in mayo, ketchup etc. I hate it when people put ketchup on my lovely scrambled eggs on toast or a sunday roast. fundamentally wrong!

hate soggy stuff too, so when I make a sandwich i make sure i layer the filling so the bread wont get soggy and when I'm eating cereal it takes a bit of strategy as hate soggy cereal. I use a tiny bit of milk then eat while crunchy, with weetabix i only put enough milk on to soak into bisks i love milk but there is something about having cereal swimming in it that i dont like. ha

Wow there are some weird quirks above!!

Mine is coconut, in any way shape or form, detest the stuff and can pick out the smell or taste a mile off. Won't touch anything that has it in it - even sun cream!!

That's so funny, I am exactly the same! I haven't come across anyone else who has such an aversion to sogginess. I also only use a tiny bit of milk with cereal, for the same reason, and I've just about given up eating things like cornflakes altogether. Grapenuts slogan about the staying crunchy in milk was made for me! In fact, you have to eat them quickly, or they do start to go soggier.

Wet bread is one of the most disgusting things. I can't bear to eat it. I have to leave any soggy bits on a sandwich. Yuk. I usually avoid sandwiches with tomato in them just to be on the safe side.

Lots!

I can't bear hot and cold things together - like warm desert with ice cream/cream on - the very thought of the cream melting and separating on the hot desert makes me feel ill.

I *HAVE* to save the best part of a meal until last. In a roast dinner this will likely see me eating spouts first, then carrots, then beef, then potatoes, then swede, then yorkshire pudding.

Things cannot be mixed together, every distinct food must be eaten separately. Stew can be done, but it is an experience to watch me eat it (peas, beef, carrots, potatoes, swede, then dumplings - in case you were wondering!)

Packs of mixed sweets - such as Haribo () must be taken out of the bag, then sorted into groups of colour and type and ordered accordingly before consuming.

Bread/biscuits/cake etc must be eaten from the outside in, as the inside is the best bit and it must be eaten last

If possible, different foods should not touch each other on the plate. Although this has relaxed as I have got older. Typically though if a food would leave a mark on something else it should be separated. Foods that are cohesive enough to stay to themselves are ok to touch but I'd still rather they didn't.

Gravy/sauces - are a tough one. I tend not to have gravy on a roast dinner as I don't like that bits of veg/meat come off into the gravy and then mix together. I actually quite like gravy on some things but it's easier to say I don't than explain this.

Foods that have a dry texture and squeek when you bite them (like beansprouts and water chestnuts) make me cringe.

Roasted foods - I do not like roasted potatoes or vegetables, it makes them taste metallic and horrible. I don't mind roasted meat, although...I'd rather it was grilled as a preference.

Wow, I'm actually more of a freak than I thought, looking over that. :blushing:

I forgot about this one! Especially kitkats, all the chocolate goes from the outside, then you have to eat the wafer layer by layer. Things like cheeseburgers and sandwiches are the same - the outside is always a bit dry with the tastiest bit in the middle, and the best bit has to be last!

No no no...Kit Kats may be the exception! The chocolatiest bit is at the ends...so those must be broken in half and eaten from the middle out!

Victoria sponge is interesting too, as the buttercream and jam is the best so I eat the sponge around that leaving a few millimetres either side, then eat from the outside edge to the middle, away from the crust.

I totally know what you mean about burgers and sandwiches too.

Hahahaha I do that too!!

Thank you! I get some serious looks when people see me do that! I have never met another person who does the same! :flowerforyou:

That's proper OCD. You should talk to someone about that. :laugh:

You might be right there :embarassed:

Nah, I'm probably just a bit weird! :ohwell:

Oh and when i do make toast with butter, when i spread it it HAS to be an even covering all over the bread, not yukky melty lumps and no dry bits!! :noway:

Oh I wholeheartedly agree on this one. My OH just does two knife swipes across the middle and that's it!! :noway:
I had to teach him how to butter toast properly and left him to 'marvel' at my OCD meliculous precision with which I butter the corners. he still can't do it properly... so I make the toast now. :huh:
