What are your weird food habits?

[CloudBee]

I often crave melted cheese. I just tossed string cheese (2) into the microwave for 30 seconds and ate the melted heap. Craving satisfied, and I consumed 14 grams of protein. 

What are yours?

I rip all the peanut butter out of mini-Ritz sandwiches and stack it all together to make a giant sandwich. I eat the plain crackers and then the giant sandwich last.

I will cut an entire head of iceberg lettuce in half and eat it like an apple. It's like eating crunchy water, I love it. I've done it since I was a kid.

I also sometimes dip tortilla chips into red hot as a snack.

[kath16]

oh, also I eat M&Ms by color but I'm pretty sure this has been discussed

I always eat the peanut butter out of the cracker first. As a kid, I used to scrape it out, make a giant peanut butter ball, eat that, and then eat the crackers separately.

Hilarious!

Snacks as a daily food strategy.

I cut chicken with scissors. My H thinks it's weird, but it's so much easier!

[urbancowgirl]

I like to roll up a dill pickle spear in a slice of American cheese and a slice of salami. It's the best snack.

I use kitchen shears more than knives when prepping food.

Is this how you cut chicken when cooking with it, or do you sit at the table with scissors..?

Melted cheese in hot chocolate which people think is gross but actually very good.  My grandmother from South America would always make it for us but she said she can't find the type of cheese they used in her country so she uses mozzarella.

Every other month or so I will make pasta with nothing but feta and balsamic vinaigrette.

This actually sounds delicious. 

I like to put hot sauce on my pizza.

I like to smash Skittles flat then eat them and also bite to M&Ms of different colors in half then stick them back together to make a whole dual colored M&M.

I'm currently eating hummus with a spoon because I ran out of carrots to dip in it. Does that count? LOL In my defense, it is a pre-measured amount of hummus in a small bowl, so it's not like I'm going after the entire container of Sabra

For a real one, I like to eat Oscar Meyer, and only Oscar Meyer, Hot Dogs straight of the fridge without heating them up. I then eat of the "skin" first and then eat the inside.

this is basically what I do now as an adult, but having a cracker on each side of the peanut butter ball means it's a sandwich, and therefore much more dignified

[greysgirl]

I don't like coffee but I need caffeine so I drink a diet coke with my breakfast every morning. I don't know if that's weird.

My niece eats tortillas with nutella and shredded cheese in them.

[oregonpachey]

I have a weird thing about getting my fingers dirty so I eat small crackers or Chex mix with a spoon. My husband teases me endlessly about this.

[Linie]

If I have different colored sweets, I organize them by color, and first eat the ones I have most of, so I end up with different color groups of the same amounts of sweets.

I then eat them in color rotation.

It's a control thing...

[mel]

I put Doritos on my PB&J sandwiches. It's delicious.

DS will eat shredded cheese by the fistful if allowed. But, if you take that exact shredded cheese and melt it (like in chili, on top of some sort of pasta), he thinks it's the most disgusting thing ever.

[knx9211]

You guys have an odd definition of 'weird.'

Hot sauce on pizza isn't weird, NUTTERS.
Neither is pasta with just cheese and balsamic!

Eating the skin of a cold hot dog and then the rest isn't appropriately described as WEIRD - it should be called DISGUSTING.

[W.T.Faulkner]

You are all freaks.

After I cook it, I cut it into pieces and then eat it. Not at the table haha.

[revolution]

I mix cottage cheese in my spaghetti

[alexis]

If I go to a pasta place and get a random piece of pasta in my dish that doesn't match the rest of my pasta, I can't eat the outlier pasta. I put it on the edge of my plate but still eat everything else.

[tamarindy]

Not mine, but I think my brother (who is now 40 and still does this) wins...

He takes a large glass of milk, lays 4-6 slices of Oscar Meyer bologna on top of glass, and two Little Debbie Swiss cake rolls (ho-hos) on top of that. Then, gets to table, disassembles and drinks milk through the rolled up bologna slices/“straws” until milk and bologna are eaten. Then, finishes it off with the ho-hos.

He has done this since I can remember.

[megstoo]

Right now I have graham crackers with a little butter on them. DH thinks it's disgusting

What could possibly be disgusting about this? Sounds really good

ETA: I thought you said peanut butter. Yeah, butter is a little weird. But I'd eat it.

I like salami rolled up with mustard and a cheddar cheese slice.

I like cottage cheese with white sugar on top. Sandwiches of cream cheese and olives.

I used to have a ton of weird food habits but I've cut back so my kids don't pick up on them. I have no idea how my kids eat so normally.

If a food has edges I have to eat those first before eating the middle.
I love bacon and PB sandwiches
I will make raw pie dough and eat it straight
Colored candy gets sorted and eaten in rotation of worst to best
I eat the candy and chocolate off PB m&ms before eating the PB part
When eating enchiladas, I disassemble and eat all of the inside first, then the tortilla part
The last bite of a meal must be the best and can not be a vegetable, I plan around this
In general, I disassemble a lot of things to make sure the best parts are last
When I was younger I used to mix cinnamon sugar with butter then eat it off a spoon
I drink milk mixed with coke or root beer
