Any odd eating habits?

FairytaleGirl · 03-08-2014 1:55pm #1

As I sit here eating a pizza on a Sunday afternoon (and I'm not even hungover) I realise the majority of ye will probably be having a traditional Sunday dins and wonder if Any of you have 'odd' eating habits?

I have a friend who after living in Poland has adopted their way of eating which is the main meal around 1pm in the day and something small like a sandwhich at 6 Mr so.

Have another friend who's a nurse and only eats cereal on her week of nightshift.

So AHers any weird food habit/combos?

I segment Snickers bars into their respective parts and eat each part individually. Haven't eaten a Snickers in public in about 15 years...

Eating your main meal early is much healthier apparently. Used to be traditional here too.

Have the dinner at half seven in the morning get a clear run at the day.

I use a knife and fork when eating a pizza. People seem to find that odd. I find it perfectly civilised.

A lot of people do that. Come back when you're eating your Snickers like that

We often have a breakfast fry for dinner, not sure I consider that odd though.

It's unnatural and wrong, akin to making out with your elderly aunt.

Packets of jelly, uncooked or whatever it is your supposed to do with them. I like to eat jelly straight out of the wrapper

Add to that. I've been known, after a night out, to crawl into bed with a cold fully cooked chicken.
I once woke up with a dead leg and rolled over to find I'd fallen asleep on a chicken thigh.

Have it the night before and you'd have an even clearer run at it.:D

Penny Tration · 03-08-2014 2:15pm

I don't like mash or chips. I'm told that's odd

Do you eat potatoes?

Not often, I don't like them.

RayM · 03-08-2014 2:23pm

When I was younger, I used to mix Cornflakes with Ready Brek. It looked like sick, but tasted quite nice.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 03-08-2014 2:38pm

Mushroom rolls, but with the dough scooped out of the roll so it's just crusty

brummytom · 03-08-2014 2:39pm

I live on chicken fajitas

A Polish friend of mine actually cooks pizza from frozen in her microwave!

I recoiled in horror the first time I saw her do it like "WTF are you doing??", it turned out it wasn't that bad, definitely more moist than oven baked, but that being a good or a bad thing I'm still not sure. It was just weird.

My wife tells me snacking on a 500g block of cheese while we're watching tv is weird, eating fruit cores like apples/pears (fairly common surely?), oh, and snacking on baby beetroot straight from the jar of vinegar, something just so weird but delightful about the taste and then crushing them with my tongue :pac:

I'm sure there's more, can't think of them right now though...

Leogirl · 03-08-2014 2:41pm

I like raw white pudding! I'm a bit embarrassed by that!

danslevent · 03-08-2014 2:44pm

Nothing really that weird! I like mixing cranberry juice and coke though,so good.

Also,if I'm.drinking super cheap red wine,I like mixing it with coke

the done thing in Spain,I'm told! If it is nice red wine,I wouldn't though

omb0wyn5ehpij9 · 03-08-2014 2:44pm

I like Weetabix and Frosties in the same bowl!

That's just delicious! I always have to add a weetabix to a bowl.of cereal,it just isn't substantial without it. If I eat just a bowl of cereal for breakfast,I am hungry within the hour.

osarusan · 03-08-2014 2:52pm

Cheddar cheese and marmalade on toast.

Try with strawberry jam as well. Hmmmmmm.

danslevent · 03-08-2014 3:04pm

I look at porridge like an empty canvas to be filled with deliciousness! Sometimes I cut up a peach and add a tiny bit of jam. I have put in pineapple before and topped it with natural yoghurt.

you can really just do what you want with it! I love chopped nuts and Nutella. Yum

Talib Fiasco · 03-08-2014 3:06pm

Ketchup on everything. That includes on pizza, pasta, rice, vegetables, scrambled egg, plain bread etc. Ketchup makes everything better.

Brown sauce on toast is another favourite.

Ruu · 03-08-2014 3:09pm

I used to split the cadburys wafer (pink one) into two layers. Bite off one layer and then you would have the chocolate filling on top.

When I was younger, I used to eat that turf Weetabix with butter spread on it, dont know how or why!

fleet_admiral · 03-08-2014 3:14pm

I cant stand the sight or the smell of onions and will point blank refuse to eat anything with them in it

Sounds like what many farmers in Ireland did/do.

Aye, do the same with a Twix. But then, I eat it wherever, not caring.

It is very pleasurable in fairness:):)

I'm not quite having it every day but I definitely go through phases.

I buy occasionally that cheap Lidl capelin caviar in a jar for 1.99 and spoon the whole thing out in one go.

I love mustard and you will find at any given time at least 4 different sorts in my fridge including original sweet Haendlmeyers.

shewasdiesel · 03-08-2014 3:37pm

Being a good Irish lad, I used to eat ham sandwiches everyday for my lunch for years, I never noticed it or even thought about it, untill finally one day, one woman in the canteen, having a bad day, cracked, and screamed at the top of her voice, completely out of the blue, "do you ever eat anything other than ham fcking sandwiches every fcking day", I laughed , but realised she might have a point

Now I'm very adventurous, I take in a cheese sandwich once a week, just to break her monotony like.

Kat97 · 03-08-2014 4:00pm

I dont think it's odd but my friends think I'm mad for liking banana sandwiches? Anyone else like them?

03-08-2014 4:01pm

My will to live is compromised if there are no Tuc crackers in the house.

humbert · 03-08-2014 4:11pm

I had noodles for breakfast and lunch and, unless I can find the time to go shopping, they are a hot favourite for dinner. Shin ramen, though. Nice noodles.

Twix doesn't have peanuts you need to remove though

I usually eat most things to leave the nicest part to last (e.g. I'll eat the bottom of a muffin first); only exception is a dinner involving potatoes, the ****ing potatoes can stay there. Often result in me being full by the time I get to the nice part though

My brother eats neopolitan pizza sandwiches, he doesn't like red food* so he scrapes the off and rolls the cheese and base parts into balls which go in between two slices of buttered bread.

*28 years old, he is.

Rothko · 03-08-2014 4:40pm

I've had mackerel sandwiches nearly every day for the past two years. I suppose that's kinda odd.

wretcheddomain · 03-08-2014 4:43pm

Eating with a knife and cutting with the fork.

herisson · 03-08-2014 4:43pm

I hate stew.

I've been told that's odd.

I also don't like potatoes that much and I eat the meat from a burger first then everything else and I only like Mayo on my burger, no ketchup.

All farmers do this.

It's usually 7am breakfast (or breakfast at 9am after milking the cows) 11 o clock tea, 1pm dinner, 7pm supper after milking the cows/finished for the day.

It took me awhile to adjust in college to eating dinner in the evening instead of at 1/1:30pm

Healthier too, as you burn it off that afternoon.

AulBiddy · 03-08-2014 5:31pm

If I'm eating something like a crunchie or maltesers I have to eat the chocolate all around it first and then eat the inside.

I also like toasted sandwiches with just butter inside and dipping it into red sauce

Shaun Plays Games · 03-08-2014 6:34pm

Gravy on pasta :P

Any odd eating habits?
