Post your really bizarro eating habits here

[LynneSin]

Here's mine:

I love cottage cheese but not just any cottage cheese.

It must be 4% milkfat
It must be small curd
It must be either Giant's own brand or ShopRite's own brand (I've tried others - hated it)
It must come in the tub without the seal around the lid but the seal over the cottage cheese container (I've determined that the store-brand cottage cheese comes from 2 different sources and the one with the seal around the lid is really grainy tasting)
I must ad a ton of black pepper to it.
I must eat it with a fork.

1. I rinse the salt off my nacho chips and nuts, and anything else that comes too salty.....

...then add back the amount I want.

[hamsterjill]

2. Ssssshhhhhh! Don't tell anyone, okay?

But I like cold pizza for breakfast!

[Scout]

17. that's not bizzaro, that's normal!

i like cold pizza for breakfast too.

[GoCubsGo]

37. It's the breakfast of champions.

Nothing weird about it. :-)

[seaglass]

69. Do you like to dip it in orange juice? My husband does.

:puke:

[MerryBlooms]

3. Oh geez, it's embarrassing seeing it in print -

I separate M&M's by colors and eat from most colors to least and when eating chips, I separate the broken from whole and eat the broken ones first. Mixed nuts must follow this order - pecans, hazelnuts, Brazils, almonds, cashews and then peanuts. If someone eats just a random handful of nuts or M&M's, I cringe. lol

[WolverineDG]

4. When it comes to M&Ms, I eat the brown ones first

then orange, yellow, green, & finally red.

Oh wait, I eat the blue ones first cuz I can't stand to look at them.

Yeah, like the color of the M&M in anyway affects the taste. :eyes:

dg

[MerryBlooms]

8. Ugh, the blue is just wrong.

Did you know there are coconut M&M's now? I love coconut and will have to give them a try - bonus: no blue!

[WolverineDG]

20. You can have my share of those

coconut...bleah :)

dg

[MerryBlooms]

21. Yum! Done deal! :)

[nolabear]

53. I LOVE you! I just discovered this after posting the same thing.

Except for me it affects the taste. I don't like the blue ones. But if I can't see them it doesn't matter.

[WolverineDG]

58. LOL! I saw your post too!

& sometimes I also "pair up" the candies & eat the odds until I get an even number. :rofl:

dg

[surrealAmerican]

32. M&M's are a particular challenge, because ...

... I always want to finish with one of each color, but they also need to be nicely shaped. I eat the chipped or lumpy looking ones first.

Some foods are just made to pander to all sorts of compulsive behavior.

[nolabear]

54. I'm so happy. I have found my peeps.

[WolverineDG]

61. That's it! I'm having a party

I'm doing nothing but serving M&Ms, Skittles, cottage cheese (of various types, containers, & seals), potato chips, nuts, mayonnaise (various types, including Miracle Whip), baked beans, leftover pizza, & anything else that's cropped up on this list.

Set it all out on a nice table, then we can all sit back & watch each other eat. Dinner & a show!

:rofl:

dg

[GoCubsGo]

38. The broken nuts and and chips have no calories in them.

Right? ;-)

I do the same thing with the nuts and chips, but not the M&Ms. If I get kettle chips, I pick out all the folded ones first.

[hibbing]

45. Chips

Hey,
I separate my chips, eating the small ones first, then the larger ones, then the folded over ones last because they are the best. I wish a company would make some of all folder over ones.

Peace

[WolverineDG]

62. yes! All the calories have fallen out of them nt

[fishwax]

49. I do something similar with Skittles

I separate by color and then into groups of 5 (preferably) or 4 (if necessary)--or in some cases (but only as a last resort) 3. It gets complicated with the leftovers, and I'd rather not go into it--as you say, it's embarrassing to see it in print :rofl:

But, as with you and M*Ms, I cringe at the thought of just a random handful of Skittles.

[MerryBlooms]

66. Omgosh, I swear there's a dozen or so of us separated at birth!

My fiance is one of the, 'random handful' types. I pointed it out to him just this last week (mixed nuts *sigh)... he said, 'Baby, I like it all going on at the same time, that's how I roll.", and then we both cracked up. I did mention to him he's a lucky man, in that I am willing to overlook this egregious foody defect of his. lol

[Lucinda]

5. There are too many to mention - but in terms of cottage cheese

I am a snob. I have never given consideration to seal issues and will check into that, and unfortunately, my brand and fat content choices are severely limited where I live. I do, however, grade based on the "slosh factor." Slosh is the result that can be felt (and heard) when giving the container a firm shake. Too much slosh is unacceptable (will be too runny,) and "no slosh" means the curd will be too dry. As of late I must have a splash of soy sauce for any non-fruited cottage cheese applications.

[MerryBlooms]

6. lol @ the 'slosh factor'

I do the same thing and give a squeeze of the container. I recently moved to the Chicago area and I've been buying Dean's large curd. I find it's very consistent in whey/curd ratio and tastes very fresh. I love a couple of heavily peppered tomato slices on the side with my cottage cheese.

[LynneSin]

10. See I like the slosh and the sealed tub is slosy

whereas the sealed lid one isn't

[Hayabusa]

7. The only ice cream sandwich brand

that I really like eating are Kroger brand ones.

[NightWatcher]

9. Cold spaghetti and marinara sandwiches

Or a potato salad sandwich. The starch will keep you full all day long

[MiddleFingerMom]

11. Not really bizarro, but REALLY pragmatic...

.
.
... I stand at the freezer with a long-handled teaspoon and eat GOOD ice cream,
sherbet or sorbet.
.
.
.
That way, a pint really IS 4-6 servings. If I make it to a table with it, it's
a single-serving container.

12. Hypocrite burger.

Veggie-burger with a slice of provolone cheese, brown mustard, and five slices of hard salami.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

15. Love it!!!!

:rofl: So you're not gonna be a goddamn hippie vegan!!!


:rofl:

[applegrove]

13. I like chickpeas in a little olive oil with salt & pepper. Have not had it in a while.

[ohiosmith]

14. I dip my fries in Bob's bleu cheese dressing mixed with Tabasco. Like pork rinds dipped in peanut

butter and Tabasco.

[7wo7rees]

22. Try almond butter on them rinds boy. OOOOO-eeee!

[ohiosmith]

23. I will!

:woohoo:

[geardaddy]

26. Mayonnaise for fries.

The way they were meant to be originally.

[ohiosmith]

27. Real mayo only.

:toast:

[geardaddy]

28. Preferably homemade.

:toast:

[ohiosmith]

29. Too lazy.

[geardaddy]

31. That would be the brand I would use.

:thumbsup:

[Eyerish]

36. Agreed!!

Tried them for the first time in the Netherlands when I was 15 and I've eaten them like that ever since. Yum!! :9

[Scout]

16. cottage cheese.....

must be Large Curd, 4% milkfat, nice and cold but not frozen/crystally, add the black pepper, and a LITTLE salt, eat with fork.

occasionally, add croutons, bacon bits, garbanzo beans ... this is my version of salad :-)

[ElboRuum]

68. Cottage chees and apple butter...

Mmmmmmm....

[libodem]

18. Ants on a log

Celery, peanutbutter, with craisens lined up on it. Sorta tastes like peanutbutter and jelly.

[Shagbark Hickory]

19. I like that too but with cream cheese instead of peanut butter. Haven't had it in a long time.

[grntuscarora]

24. brussels sprouts,

I don't think they're bizzaro, but others seem to. I love 'em steamed, boiled, au gratin, any which way. But I have to ignore the complaints of my family, who gripe that they stink up the house.
Sprouts don't stink, they're just the victims of bad p.r.

[geardaddy]

25. Leftover cold baked bean sandwiches

with ketchup and brown mustard.

[geardaddy]

30. Potato chips in sandwiches.

For that extra crunch.

[blueamy66]

43. potato chip and jelly samiches

yummy

[lunatica]

33. I like salad with oil and vinegar dressing and then I add warm beef gravy on it.

I discovered it while eating my salad after having eaten dinner. There was some gravy on the plate. I love the mixture of the tangy salad dressing with the beefy taste of the gravy.

[LiberalEsto]

34. Pass the Pepto Bismol

After reading these,
I'm getting a tummy ache.

[nolabear]

35. *sigh* okay. I have to keep the numbers of the colors of things like M&Ms and Skittles even.

And once the numbers are even I eat cold to warm. So the last M&M I eat will always be the warmest color available. Trust me on this. Warm colors taste better than cold colors, even of the same thing.

It's a fairly common form of synesthesia. As to the even numbers, it's just a little OCD I suppose. As you might imagine, I don't eat much in the dark.

[GoCubsGo]

40. Glad to see I'm not the only OCD even-number type around here.

I don't do the color thing, however.

[nolabear]

55. Whole 'nother level of goofy. LOL!

[annonymous]

60. I eat M&M's by two's as well.

They both have to be the same color. I also do this with Skittles, Smarties and Sweet Tarts.

[applegrove]

39. When I make a sandwich, french bread, strub's dill pickles, rst beef, cheddar cheese and mayo I have

to press down hard on it to flatten it. I guess that way the flavor of the pickles get on everything and the bread is more doughy. Always done it.

[backwoodsbob]

41. totino's pepperoni pizzas

those $1.25 jobs..I eat them by the freezer full...drives the wife crazy.

[blueamy66]

42. I can beat that.

I must have pepper and onion salt and like to mix in Chef Boyardee raviolis into it.

I know....YUCK!

[Chellee]

44. Balsamic vinegar...

on vanilla ice cream.

[fishwax]

51. really?

Never heard of that -- what is the combination like?

[Chellee]

67. I buy an aged vinegar,

so it's really thick and has some elements of sweetness too. But the acidity cuts through the sweetness and richness of the ice cream.

It's a really good counterpoint.

If you can find it, and like that sort of thing, an espresso infused balsamic is excellent with desserts and fruit.

:)

[nolabear]

56. I might try that.. Somehow it has its appeal.

[hibbing]

46. Separated food

Hi,
I like to have my different food items not touching each other on my plate. I will of course eat it if it is all touching, but I prefer my items not touching on the plate. I know, strange. However after seeing some of the other unique items on here, whatever floats your boat right?

Peace

48. Burned popcorn - love it!

I nuke it til it smokes.

Also love tuna with Green Goddess dressing.

[hibbing]

50. stinky

Hey,
I hope you do that at work, hehehehehe.

Peace

[Odin2005]

52. I like to dip my pizza in a mix of wasabi and green goddess dressing.

[siligut]

59. This sounds kind of tasty

I love green goddess dressing, but don't make it that often, now I think I will try it with pizza. As it is, I make a salad with a vinaigrette to eat on top of my pizza.

[sammytko]

63. love home-made green goddess, but keep a bottle of store-bought

for emergencies. my parsley was a no-show this year

[siligut]

64. Don't know where you live, I am in the NW

I grow italian parsley and it took over the back half of the garden this year. Sorry about your parsley. Which brand of green goddess do you like?

[sammytko]

65. Its the Kraft. I think Wishbone makes one also, but Kraft was all I found

Its been really really really really hot and DRY here in S. Texas and I had to take out my garden. It just wasn't happening. We finally had 3 inches of rain last week and it was only in the 90s, but we will be back to 100 tomorrow!

[nolabear]

57. I just tried Schweddy Balls.

Not so great. Some of the balls are rum, which I don't much like, and some are malt, which I do. Unfortunately they look alike.

I was kind of hoping they were schweddier.
