Weird eating habits

[ridethelightning]

I just realized, I am incapable of eating a cherry or grape tomato without giving it a squeeze. If it feels soft to me, I throw it away. I never just bite into it.

Maybe this isn't a weird habit? Do you guys have any weird ones?

[ridethelightning]

AAANNNDDD one of my tomatoes just tasted like a watermelon. I'm really confused now. And a little grossed out.

I don't like super cold water. I prefer no ice. That isn't really food though.

Hmmm...I always leave the "best" bite of something for last. That is weird!

[wineenthusiast]

I have this same habit. Also with blueberries/strawberries.

I take the seafood out of sushi and only leave the veggies... I dont really like sushi but will go occasionally because H loves it.

[winofairy]

I will only eat an Oreo cookie with a banana.

I have to load salt onto my ketchup and salsa or I can't eat it.

I do this too. I also take the cheese and toppings off of pizza, and eat the crust first then the cheese and toppings. I think this is very weird, but I want to save the best parts for last. I only do this when I'm alone or with my husband; I would never let anyone else see me do this.

I have been known to eat Nutella out of the jar with a spoon.

I don't like eating apples by just biting into them. I don't like the sound it make and how you can sometimes get more skin than filling, so I almost always use my apple-core tool and slice them before eating them.

I can't really think of anything else.

This is not weird. That is the only way I eat Nutella, unless I use it to make some sort of dessert.

I also have to look at whatever I put in my mouth. So, if I'm eating chips/popcorn/etc.. I eat them one at a time after I inspect each one.

Me too. I inspect all my food - H makes fun of me all the time for it. I also take what he calls "bird bites" because they're so small, but that makes the inspecting easier.

I save the best bite for last as well. If I'm eating a sandwich, the last bite has to have some of every ingredient or I end up very disappointed.

I peel the skin off of all my tomatoes, even though it can get tiresome.

I also save the best bite for last.

[charitylynne79]

I eat pizza with a fork and eat the cheese first, then the slice, then the crust.

I hate most vegetables so when hubby cooks he tries to hide them.

I can't eat a sandwich if its made with the end piece of the bread and the piece before it.

[mayflowers22]

I eat chips with a spoon because I hate getting my hands all dirty.
I only eat one dish at a time, I don't go back and forth.

[darkling_glory]

I don't think I have weird eating habits. Unless being vegan is weird.

I save the best for last too. Last night I sorted my skittles into yellow, green, orange, purple and red and ate them in that order.

I will only eat red or green skittles.

I pretty much do this with any colored candy/food. I always group them together, and eat them in groups, by color.

I also don't eat condiments except for maybe a little bit of horseradish.

I do this too. Then I get pissed if someone else takes it or ruins it in some way.. as if it was a reward for eating all of the other bites.

I need to stop doing that.

[lexxasaurus]

I peel the skin off grapes with my teeth, before I can eat the middle.
I put all multi colored candy into order (rainbow -minus purple for skittles) and eat them in that pattern.
None of my foods that aren't 100% solid can touch.
I can't eat the first three pieces of bread in the bag, even if it's not the end... any time I open it, I have to skip the first 3.

I'm sure I can think of more if I try. I have a lot of food quirks.

DING DING DING!!! I think we have a winner!

[lexxasaurus]

I do the chips/spoon thing but only with Cheetos. I don't like orange fingers!

[ridethelightning]

Ok I have to know...how in the world does eating chips with a spoon even work?

I guess you crunch them down first. **shrugs**


I'll eat a frito pie with a spoon but that's more than just chips. I am a sicko who likes to lick the orange stuff off my fingers after eating cheetos and doritos so it doesn't bother me.

That reminds me that every.single.time that I eat Bugles, I put one cone on each finger and pretend to have witch hands before gobbling them down. That never gets old.

[OrangePixyStix]

And I see that I am not alone.

I don't like for my food to touch. If they do touch, I can still eat it. I just would prefer they not touch.

I eat one thing at a time. Salad, move to meat, move to veggies, move to pasta, etc. I do that unless it's somewhere that I don't go often, then I taste everything then decide what to save for last.

Any candy that is colored, I make all the colors even. For example if there are 7 Yellow, 5 Green, 5 Purple, 4 red, and 2 orange, I eat 1 yellow, 1 green, 1 purple, 1 red, 1 yellow, 1 green, 1 purple, 1 red, etc until all the colors are even. If they are fruit flavored, I save red and purple for last. If it's M&Ms, I save blue and red for last.

I eat my desserts in very small bites. I realized just how slow at a business lunch on Friday.

[ILikeSloths]

OPS, I used to do the Bugle-hand thing, too. Haha.

I have a habit of inspecting my food also. I prefer for different items not to touch, but I still eat them if it happens. I place certain items next to each other that I wouldn't mind eating together.

I leave the soft fruit such as strawberries for DH . I also avoid soft, brown spots on bananas. I don't like biting into apples so I use a slicer.

[louietunes]

I bite and eat the chocolate coating off of Riesen candies, then eat the center.

I prefer to eat small, snack type things (candies, chips, popcorn, cut up veggies, etc) in even numbers.

[conradtn]

I'll poke the center out of a reese cup before I eat it.

For those baby carrots, you can nibble the outside of the carrot and it reveals kind of a stick center.

And for pickle spears I eat the seeds first, then the rest.

haha

I do that too! I've always thought it looked like a tiny little stick!

I thought that was normal. Is there any other way to eat baby carrots?

Also I eat the chocolate off pb m&ms, then the pb center. Can't eat them whole...
