What kind of crazy eating habits have you come up with over your life.

Examples:

If eating soup, I always eat it first.
I like eating salad last, even though restaurants bring it first
At fast food, I always finish my fries before even touching the burger (just cause fries cool fast)

I'll post more when I think of em.

-I always rip off and eat the crust on pizza slices before touching the rest of the slice.
-I'll sometimes put hot dogs in macaronni
-I eat ice if there's any left in my glass after a drink.
-Whenever I have to take a pill for anything, i'll crunch it up first.
-I've put cheese in the microwave, melted it, then ate it without anything else.
-I find cherries on steaks work well.

I'm the exact opposite. I blame my parents.

Oh yeah, and I put vinegar into my ketchup, mix it around, just to make ketchup more vinegary... actually I've only done that once, today, but I think I'll keep doin it.

I do the same thing, cleanses the palate, I think it's French or something... I also like it when chinese restaurants serve sorbet after the meal.

Got a friend that does the same thing, I'll never understand giving priority to a potato over beef. Mark Mosely (former Redskins kicker, last straight on kicker in the NFL) even called him out on it at his old burger joint in Virginia, "son, don't you want to start eating your burger while it's hot and fresh?"

I only drink soda/soup/milk, any liquid, after I'm done with the meal. A habit I picked up when I was trying really hard to gain any kind of weight, and I felt liquid takes up space that could've gone to food.

i hear ya on the fries thing. i always get shit for it too, but there is one thing ive learned. You can reheat a burger and itl taste fine, but fries reheated will always taste bad.

I generally do this, though not for the reasons you do.

I think I just like downing my drink at the end of the meal and hate having only a little bit left.

EDIT: I also have this thing where, if there are 3 or 4 different parts to the meal on the plate, I have to try all combinations. So let's say I have chips (fries), eggs and beans. I have to eat all of them seperately, I have to try egg with chips and egg with beans, beans with chips and finally everything together.

Actually I don't have to do these things, it's not like an urge to, I just like to.

Exactly. Keep it in the tinfoil and it'll stay warm. Fries get cold in 5 minutes.

Since coming to Japan, I've developed some pretty strange eating habits. Like fish heads. I'll eat those. In the winter, I'll make a bowl of grits, drain a can of tuna, and mix them together. Smells like hot ass, but tastes great.

But seriously, if I have cold food and hot food, I usually prefer to eat the cold food first.
I cannot eat a meal if I am served a hot drink. I must have something cold if I am eating.

I have to eat fries with a fork. I don't like having greasy fingers.

 

[Guzim]

I eat the fries first too. A lot of people I know do that.

 

[Instigator]

I eat the fries last. Often I can't even finish them.

 

[RevenantKioku]

Since coming to Japan...

DAMN I miss so much food from there. Like the fried chicken cartilage. Those kicked ass.

I still won't eat those. But I will chow down on some natto! Mmmmmm-BOY!

 

[Kuramu]

I always eat from one side of the plate to the other so i can gauge my progress.
If i have various items on my plate, i like to finish one before starting another
I never have a beverage with my meal unless it's alcohol.

 

[ManDudeChild]

When I have food on a plate that consists of food I like and food I dont like, i'll always finish the stuff I don't like first.

Oh same here, definitely. That way I can get the crap out of the way and then start a meal I'll actually enjoy.

Well its not me but my Father always orders Cheesecake at a restaurant for the apetizer. Its usually much cheaper then anything on the appetizer menu and then you dont have to save room for desert

 

[Die Squirrel Die]

I'm a fries first person as well. Save the best to last.

If I have ice cubes I must have three, no more, no less. I don't even touch crushed ice.

Always eat skittles in the same order(purple, red, yellow, orange, green in case you are wondering). Other coloured sweets, I don't have a particular order, but will only eat one colour at a time.

 

[Grubdog]

I can't eat and drink at the same time, after i've had something to drink I wait half an hour before I eat something, and after i've eaten something I can't drink for one hour after that. Something about liquid screwing with my digestion or something that i've picked up, it might not even be true, but I just do it anyway.. I can't explain it.

 

[seanoff]

yep fries, burger, drink for me. strict order, my wife laughs at me but hey.

jelly based lollies, always the red and black ones last.

 

[Teknopathetic]

I also eat fries before the burger. Dunno why.
