    When I get a salad at a restaurant I always get the dressing on the side. I check each individual piece of lettuce to make sure it's not nasty looking and dip it in the dressing. Oh yeah, I do this by hand. I haven't eaten a salad with a fork in years.

    Great place on the Westside, Mexico's Deli, makes their own aguas frescas. First time I was there, they had a cucumber one. Possibly the greatest non-alcoholic thing I've ever tasted.

    No quirks here, some of yall have some interesting habits.

    I can't eat any kind of soggy ceral. It has to still have some crunch.

    Overripe bananas make me gag.

    I could eat chips with any meal.

    Same here, my stepdad was such a tightass that he would literally charge me money when I didn't finish some of my meal and threw it in the trash. If there was some sauce residue on the plate he would make you gather it all up into one more bite until the plate was completely clean. To this day I cannot throw food away, I have to finish everything on my plate no matter how full I am.

    Another time I didn't want to eat Chicken and Dumplings and they wouldn't let me eat anything else so I went 3 days without eating. Then of course I loved Chicken and Dumplings because I was so damned hungry.

    -I drink a glass of milk with almost every meal. My girlfriend thinks it is absolutely disgusting, but I just love how milk washes down a meal.

    -I have never eaten Sushi, and I really do not like most asian food at all. Of course everyone in the world loves Chinese food. Not me. Something about it makes me feel like I shouldn't be eating it.

    - I cannot eat anything mexican without dousing it in hot sauce. A taco just doesn't taste like a taco to me if It isn't spicy. This is a weird quirk because no one in my family can even stand the mild sauce at taco bell.

    When I eat Lucky Charms, I eat all the hard pieces first so that all that is left are the marshmallows. Then I drink the milk, then eat the marshmallows. Same thing with Cap'n Crunch Crunchberries.

    If it were socially acceptable, I would eat cereal for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day for the rest of my life.

    The only type of cereal I eat is Kellogg's Frosted Flakes and I have to drink water while i eat them. I do eat the cereal with milk like a regular person but I have to drink water with it, like a regular meal. The water can't be cold either it has to be a good temperature, not warm not cold.

    When I eat the fries from Jack in the Box, I eat them with ketchup and mayo mixed. Otherwise they just don't taste the same. mix the ketchup and mayo in a separate little bowl and enjoy.

    I don't think I have any myself, but I know of a weird one from a friend:

    Sam, my friend, loves Lucky Charms cereal. But he cannot eat the bowl of cereal normally until he has eaten one round of the marshmallows in the order that the Lucky the Lep. says them in the commercial.

    So he eats one blue moon, one orange star, a green clover, and so on, in order before proceeding with the rest of the bowl of cereal.

    Creepy.

    Did you hear the latest on this rule?

    Believe it or not, a news station in Dallas did a study on this, and found that the 5 second rule is actually more like 30 seconds (before active bacteria begin to form on the food that fell on the floor) and in some cases (like Skittles for instance) you have more than a full minute to pick it up and eat it from the floor.

    Great news for all you folks struggling to beat the 5 second threshold. ;)
