Odd eating habits / quirks

[Ace-T]

When I have a full English breakfast at least one forkfull must have a little bit of everything on it. Quite an art to piling everything on then getting it in your mouth.

Whenever i eat dinner or tea at home i always have a raw chilli with it. I use the long thin Finger chillis from Tesco, i take a mouthful of the meal then a bite of the chilli.

nothing wrong with that. I do that with the right chilli.

Fruit tarts, I'll eat all the fruit off the top, then any intermediate layer and finally roll up the pastry and eat that last. Lost count of the number of times people have offered to just make the parts separately for me to eat, they just don't understand.

I can't stand tea, Coffee I can put up with the smell but still refuse to try it. Not really sure why all, all my family are big tea drinkers but I can't stand the thought of it..

I don't often eat soup but when I do I can't bring myself to have a drink for a while afterworld, just seems weird to me..

The other day at work, a bloke had a cuppasoup and a cup of tea and had one each hand, drinking one after another, made me gag the dirty bd.

No one seems to understand how nice fried egg on toast is, with tomato sauce on top. Can have them without, but much better with.

Try cutting a hole out of the bread, putting it in the pan, cracking the egg into the hole, and frying the egg and bread in one go.

I'm trying that tomorrow!

An ex colleague will only eat things in the order they go cold, so it's usually peas first and so on. At times that system does have merits.

Not sure whether it's odd or just me being a pig, but meat pies. Have to be short crust and none of that just a lid over the filling malarkey. Carefully remove lid, set to one side, eat filling, then eat the lovely gravy infused pastry. Cornish pasties can be treated jn a similar fashion, splitting open along the seam, opening up and so on.

I have to cut around the yolk of the eggs, eat the whites, then carefully place the yolk on top of the fried bread/hash brown/toast so the there is absolutely no loss of runny yolk to the plate. Then I break the top of the yolk and dip chunks of sausage in it, eating the sausage until out of it. Then I can cut into the remains of the yolk on top of the bread and eat that.

I consider it sloppy eating if I have to scrape yolk off the plate with my knife...

...mental.

on the same theme as the maltesers - jaffa cakes. Nibble the tiniest amounf off the edge all the way round that you can manage. The with newly exposed chocolate edges you can pick off the chocolate. The goal is a perfectly undamaged orange jelly without the merest speck of chocolate on it. Eat jelly. Lastly of course eat sponge. Slightest amount of damage/imperfection along the way - down it one and start on the next.

I dissect Jaffa Cakes too but in a different way to you. I nibble all around the edge, then eat the remaining sponge, then peel off the chocolate saving the jelly bit till last as it's the best bit!

Some of my other quirks:
- I can't eat crisps if the bag has been opened upside down.
- When I'm cooking pasta I have to eat once piece of the uncooked pasta before I put it all in the pan.
- If I'm eating something with ketchup/salad cream/mayo/mustard etc, the sauce has to be put in one blob on the plate and then the plate positioned so the sauce is at the one o clock position.
- I've never eaten kiwi skin and it repulses me as it's all furry. I slice the top of and then get a teaspoon and scoop it out.

I think most people have reservations about eating crisps from the floor...

KitKat fingers. I like to nibble the chocolate off the ends, then both sides, then the rest.

That I can relate to. I used to do the very same thing.
It was normal. For me.

Some weird responses here;

So for the people who only eat one thing at once, you would eat a curry by eating all the rice at once then the curry? Or Vice versa?

Strange...

No, to me the whole principle behind curry and rice, or chilli and rice etc, is that you can combine the two main protagonists in the proportions to get the personally correct level of heat.

I don't really eat biscuits but am partial to the odd Choco Liebniz.

I have to pick off and nibble all the chocolate then dunk the remaining plain biscuit in tea.

I'm loving this thread guys, keep 'em coming!

Ever since I was a kid I've kept one piece of each item on my plate for the last mouthful.

I remember this topic when eating brunch. I have to cut the ends off sausages before eating the middles. Regardless of how many I have, all ends go first.

I used to love skip (crisps) and Marmite sandwiches too.
