Weird things you do/habits with food.

Everyone calls me weird for doing this too but I cannot stand that soggy lump of milky processed shit that people slurp down their gullet. It's unnatural and fucking disgusting.

Then they tell me to eat it more quickly to avoid the soggy texture. a) I can take my time if it's dry; b) the crunch is far more enjoyable; c) I can eat it with my hands without making a gigantic mess; d) I can avoid vomiting everywhere once I'm finished.

I rarely eat cereal though because I just can't handle all the sugar in most of them and I never eat a conventional breakfast at a conventional time anyway.

Alas, I have no peculiarities with food because all of my habits are objectively normal.

most of my weird eating habits are for efficiency purposes

my girlfriend thinks it's outrageous that I'll roll whole wheat bread slices into balls or that I would blend a carton of cottage cheese and plain greek yogurt into a shake

tried to blend chicken into a shake once but that didn't work out so well

I used to have this for lunch as a kid haha. Basically, before opening the package of ramen, I'd crush the contents until it was broken down into bite-size chunks. Then I'd open the package, take out and open the seasoning packet and pour the seasoning in, and then pinch the package closed and shake it to distribute the seasoning. Best lunch.

instead of cutting the meat i take it with my fork and bite it just like an animal does to eat

yep

will also basically just re-wash the same bowl and use that bowl for everything, regardless of whether it's appropriate on a plate or in a bowl

i love efficient eating, teach me ur ways alfred

[Red Blaster]

I don't eat meat.
I don't eat vegetables.
I eat primarily tongue first (had this pointed out to me by someone).
When I make a sandwich it has to be with two "matching" slices of bread.
When I make chocolate milk I always heat the milk up first then add the chocolate powder.
If I'm making mac n cheese I have to stick to my routine of strain water, add butter then milk after the butter is partially melted.
When I eat mixed nuts I usually pick out one individual sort at a time.
I usually microwave ice cream because sensitive teeth.

I eat canned mushroom with a fork

Oh God, you're one of those people.

Edit: Before I take a shot of any alcohol beverage, I blow on it. If I'm not doing that, I will drink straight from the bottle because most people around here don't love tequila as much as I do.

You must die

[Jtehanonymous]

I usually leave at least a few bites of a meal left over, even if it wasn't a particularly large meal.

When I see I'm nearly done with a meal, I rationalize that if I finish, I'll have eaten too much/my stomach may hurt, so I don't need the last few bites.

I use tools on foods that are supposed to be held by hands

I put strawberry jam on top of all my steaks, even when out at a restaurant.

I dip sushi into a mixture of ketchup, mustard, and steak sauce.

I add shrimp flavoring to coffee and tea.

Most of these intrigue me.

I cringed at every one of those sentences

the sad part is, he's 100% serious.

oh man this

so much more convenient

[csoup1414]

When I pour a drink into a glass...the drink has to be one inch from the rim or I can't drink it. It can't be any more or less.
Really sucks when I want just a small sip of something...that's impossible for me to do.
I also will eat ho-hos by unrolling them as I eat, if that makes any sense.
Also I eat Kit Kats by layers. I break off a piece, take the first cookie layer and eat it...then the next and eat that...and so on. It bugs my family so much on Halloween.

[Funnygurl555]

@Red Blaster I did the chocolate milk thig as a kid too, haha.
@Plop you're amazing omg

I always separate the parts of a sandwich or taco and eat them separately
I'll eat my veggies with ketchup
Im on the extreme end of not caring about different foods mixing. Literally just mixed bacon and granola right now.
I tend to like to eat the same things all the time.
I take smaller portion sizes, but when I do I finish my plate and get more if I'm still hungry. I got into the habit of wasting food when I started college though. That's not a good thing rofl
I'll drink 2-3 cups of coffee with every meal.

This was more so when I was younger, but if I have multiple things on my plate to eat, I'll usually finish one thing before moving on to the next thing. My parents "corrected" this behavior (which they didn't like) so I don't do it as often (at least not-intentionally), but I still do it accidentally from time to time.

Their go to line for this with me was "it all gets mixed in your belly anyway, so mix it up."
I still don't understand how my mom and dad thought this was "wrong".
I still do this, never thought it was strange. It bugs them when we go over for dinner.

The sushi one I can understand if you went out to a hibachi restaurant somewhere and experimented, or maybe you tried jam + steak due to its similarity to something like mint jelly + lamb or whatever, but for some of these I don't understand how these habits even formed. Like, one day you were having coffee and just went, "You know what, this coffee could use a little shrimp flavoring." Or do you just try all sorts of shit all the time and see what sticks?
