Odd eating habits / quirks
Discussion
OH, will not eat meat from mammals or birds,but eats fish and doesn't mind eating things like cheese with rennet in it or jelly with gelatin . But not soups with meat stock.
She will not eat any sweet stuff before savoury.
Only exception is Mango Chutney before a curry.
Me? Does shotgunning Supermarket Creme Caramels count?
Take the lid off, Position above mouth and pull the foil

Testicals? Bulls perhaps
In a certain way you aren't far off, but essentially no, not at all. I did eat chicken testicles once in Israel though.

Sweetbreads?
No, good guess though.

Mum and dad once had a 3 year old foster boy who's favourite food was tomato. Not in stuff, not soup, not ketchup, but a fresh raw tomato. He'd sit eating it like an apple, and was in his favourite place.
I do this too, wasn't even aware it was classed as odd 
If we were talking about a raw white onion - THEN I'd think that was weird...

Fish sperm?
Yes, 'seminal fluid' or at least, the organs which produce it. It's from the male fish as opposed to the roe (eggs) of the female and is known as 'Milt' or Milts. Visually (both raw and cooked) you weren't far off when you mentioned sweetbread as they look quite similar, a delicacy in Japan, but you can get it here in the UK easy enough at certain times of the year.It's very, very nutritional, packed with all sorts of goodness (I keep telling the OH that, but she's having none of it). Like similar things as it's cheap and healthy it was consumed by the lower working classes back in the day, but relatively unheard of now.
Roe on top, Milt below:
Those are from Herring I think, Cod and others look a bit different, I think that is the actual reproductive organ with its contents which is why it's solid.
I tried Roe and didn't like it, mainly the grainy texture when cooked in a lump like that. Milts are quite soft (like marshmallow), even after being dipped in flour and shallow fried for a bit it doesn't seem to harden much, if you like oysters and scallops then you should try it as it's along those lines, but not very strong tasting at all.
The oddest thing is where I found them - on the reduced counter at Tesco, about £1 for a sizeable bag, i'm assuming as it's a relatively unwanted byproduct it's cheap.

I open bananas at the 'wrong' end, IE the opposite end from where they're picked. The logic is that the lumpy bit you normally start with/spit out is just a leftover at the end!
The only leftover from eating a banana is the peel. What's this lumpy bit you've found?Johnnytheboy said:
Mashed potato has a lump of butter on top, this melts to form a little pool. Potato is eaten round this until it is impossible to eat without the pool escaping. Remaining butter/potato eaten as fast as possible.
Been doing it since I was a kid, now I'm 43 I'm unlikely to change.
My O/H loves mashed potato but has to have lots of gravy and then mixes it all together until it's almost too runny to stay on a fork. I don't mind so much at home but she's been know to do it when we're out and get some strange looks - she's 51.Been doing it since I was a kid, now I'm 43 I'm unlikely to change.

That's the way that monkeys open bananas. The other benefit is that you don't get the stringy bits of inner skin (pith?) to peel off / spit out in disgust.227bhp said:

If you have a bucket of roe (eggs) you can fertilise them by squeezing a male fish gently like a half empty tube of toothpaste and the stuff just squirts out of the hole into the bucket.
I won't show you a pic incase you're eating your lunch.
