Whenever I am eating different foods in a single meal, I like to eat all of one thing before moving on to the next item. On the other hand, I don't care if the foods touch, but I do my best to limit the mixing when they do.
I like to put food on a plate or napkin. My son will put bread on the counter and make a sandwich. The counter is clean, but - use a plate! At work there are two people who will lay their food down on the tailgate of a pickup-or an old- dusty table-bread, chicken - whatever.....I need a paper towel at least. There is a place to wash your hands at work with soap and paper towels-these two guys never wash thier hands no matter what we are doing. they just pick up their pizza, sandwich or whatever with their bare dirty hands. I bring my lunch everyday and you can eat better with food from home than eating out.
I mentally ration out the food, and I save the best bite for last. So if I'm eating KFC or something, I'd save a bite of chicken and a bite of mash potatoes for last.
I drink about a gallon of milk per day. I have drank large amounts of milk since i can remember. If I feel a little hungry i go for some milk. I'm not advocating this lifestyle but frankly my stomach is rock solid. By stomach I mean digestive system.
Man, I never realized there were so many people with obsessive/compulsive food issues. I thought I was bad because as a kid much of my diet consisted of hamburgers with only ketchup.
When I eat pizza, I eat all the toppings first, then the pizza, then the crust. I only do this if I'm by myself. People who fold the pizza in half before they eat it should BURN IN HELL. Enjoy it, for ****s sake! I can NOT eat a Whataburger Breakfast on a Bun all at once. I have to eat the egg part first, then the saugage part. If I'm eating a cookie, I have to start on the outer edge and work my way to the middle.
When I eat Jello, I like to pass each bite through my teeth over and over until the entire bite is all liquid, then I swallow. I always thought this was strange, because it kind of eliminates the point of making Jello (or at least the part where you chill it and it solidifies)...but I can't stop myself.
I didn't realize there were so many flako eaters on the forum. You guys are weird. I've loved peanut butter, jelly and Miracle Whip sandwiches since I was a kid. I don't remember how it all started. I used to drink a gallon of milk a day but finally cut back about 5 years ago. When younger, there were times when I would chug down 1/2 gallon at one time. CaseyH, if you ever decide to lose weight, cutting your milk down to couple of glasses a day will be good for ~20 lbs by itself. Switch to skim or 1% and it won't taste as good which makes it easier. Mr. Brightside, 5 PB sandwiches a day? How close to 300 lbs are you? Those of you who eat one item at a time until it's gone: Do others consider you picky eaters? I have a theory.
I don't like sweets. This includes candy, gum, fruits, peanut butter, jelly, chocolate, etc. Although I still like ice cream. As far as bad eating quirks? I have a bad habit of clicking my palate when I eat. Even I'm annoyed by it. But I've been told I have a mild form of turrets.
if ur looking to catch up on some reading, Taco cabana will situate ur ass on top of the toilet for a good 3-4 hours post meal. For me, I love eatin pu$$y.
haha, a true asian. Up until i was like 20, i ate everything on the table. Mom can't finish her food, she throws it on mine. Sister can't hang, toss it on mine. I had to learn how to break the habit.
i prefer not to eat things with a ton of seeds in them such as: tomatoes. I hate thick slices of them on a burger or sandwich. This is gross. But cut up like at Fuddruckers is okay. I think it is the wetness that comes from when the slice pees on your sandwich. cucumbers. They are okay but all the mushy seeds gross me out. squash - same as above. I will eat it but I will chew really fast and swallow it down.
I got food poisoning from Taco Cabana and have never eaten there again. At my school, you have to make an appointment to see a doctor but you can walk in to see a nurse. The receptionist Nazi is very strict. As the nurse was checking me out, I threw up in the nearest garbage can. The doctor ran in when he heard me. I don't think I have any eating quirks. One thing I recently learned was how to eat a chicken wing wing. I would eat the drumsticks first and leave the wings till the end cause I hated them. My buddy showed me how to strip the meat off the wing into a nugget. I was lik HOLY shieT! Now I eat wings first. Before I would break the wing and peel the meat.
Two delicious combinations from childhood: White rice and ranch dressing (still do this one--it's amazing) Spaghetti and cream of chicken soup (need to try this again, been a long time) When I was very young, I used to wait for my Frosted Flakes to get mushy before eating them. Couldn't do that now if I ate cereal. When I get a Whataburger and fries, I eat the fries first, then the burger. But if I get a spicy chicken combo at Wendy's, I eat them at the same time. I love pickles, but only by themselves...never on sandwiches. I could easily list 50+ foods I don't like. Peanut butter is in the top 5. I don't like anything that comes out of the sea other than shrimp, which I love. My college roommate would dip white bread in Coke and call it a snack.
Guilty - I dip pretzels in pimento cheese - I dip anything in ranch dressing - I eat gravy on scarmbled eggs, but I'm sure many do - I eat bacon with tomatos. It's a BLT without the L and is very complimentary - I usually time my portions on my plate where I finish all at the same time. The same as when I cook - I devour fried chicken. I mean to say the bone is as clean as it can be - I eat corn dogs with cottage cheese - I try to eat those single jello servings in one bite - I cut apples/pears in 4ths to get the middle out and then eat them like celery sticks - I stare out at my back yard while eating a bowl of cereal in my uinderwear in the kitchen every morning - I always finish my plate, no matter the size, because I am a real man
