Weird eating habits

[Cactussed]

I always put a napkin on my left knee, otherwise I forget and wipe hands all over my trousers. Oh, and I have a particualr way of eating spag bol (refer to the thread below).

Anyone else got any?

I always cut food in half before dividing into bite size portions.
Allows me to check it's cooked through and also keeps any fillings from ending up all at one side.

I'm right-handed, but eat with my fork in my right hand.

In a fry up never have beans touching egg. I have too much of this OCD to list.

I have my beans in a separate bowl, I don't know why but I can't have beans touching eggs, mushrooms etc..

I eat the individual components of a meal separately (which people tell me is odd). However to me it seems odder to cram meat, vegetables, potato etc all onto the one fork.

I can't stand beans touching egg either!

Same here... if you mix them you can't taste the individual flavours...

I know 2 other people that also have this weird eating habit

[Pferdestarke]

When eating crisps or chips, I eat them in order of deliciousness i.e. worst first, saving the crispest, best example for last.

I never eat anything that is too dry. I would rather leave a dry sandwich than eat it, even if very hungry.

I eat the tails of prawns if they are crisp.

I hate uneven cooking, for example when doing roast potatoes in the oven the ones at the edge brown before the center so I have to move them around for an even cooking.

This is probably quite a common one but I like eating food without having to use a knife. Also I like to split the amount of eg meat, veg and potato on each fork load so that I have an equal amount of each every time, with nothing odd left at the end.

I do that.

But when it comes to egg things, my OCD is unsurpassed. Hence my comments on the microwave scrambled thread. How the hell you can do eggs like that is beyond me!

When I do fried eggs, I have a reserve frying pan, with an immaculate non stick surface, it is just for my fried eggs, and that alone. I put a tiny bit of oil in, and break two eggs into it. Only two, as it gets too crowded with three or four. If a yolk breaks, I chuck (pun) it away and start again. I have it on a low heat so that I don't get any bubbles or spitting, and the white gently sets in a perfectly uniform fashion. Then I trim the white with the spatula, so that the fried egg is a perfect square the same size as a slice of toast. I discard the trimmed white. Then I flip it over easy, and if the yolk breaks, I chuck it away and start again. I like it set gently all over on the outside in a very thin cooked white skin, with a very runny yolk. Slid gently onto buttered toast.

If things don't quite go to absolute perfection, and I end up making two or three attempts, I have managed to contain my anger issues. I haven't thrown the whole thing out into the garden or repeatedly 'run over' my frying pan in a long time.

fks sake. I feel normal listening to bunch of fussy bds.

woohoo!

[Alexj800]

I always found it tricky to do a good fried egg. If I turned it, the yoke could break and if I didnt I'd run the risk of having a gooey white.

What I do now is to fry the egg on one side only, then instead of turning it I pour boiling water in the pan until it comes about half way up the yoke. Turn the gas out and wait half a min or so until the gooey white is cooked.

It's always really easy to scoop the egg out afterwards as the water loosens it from the pan.

I don't have any weird eating habits.

When eating breakfast I eat everything but a little bit of each. So the last mouthful is a tiny bit of toast, egg, bacon, sausage, garlic mushroom, black pudding, fried toast, tomato and hash brown,

Jaysus - some serious Egg OCD here.

Should anyone ever ask me how I like my eggs in the morning, it's fried in a weeny amount of butter, but with a solid white and yolk, and lots of 'Geeta's' lime and chilli chutney to disguise the taste of egg yolks, since I don't really like them.

Alternatively, you can have mine.

[Rabbitinthelight]

I'm not too surprised to find the egg thing here, isn't it just human to have your egg cooked properly? There are times you get caught of course. The egg looks fine, you cut into the white, that tastes fine. Then, you cut.... just by the edge.... of the yolk, "HELL, FLAMING CHRIST, WHAT IS THIS SLIMY RING OF UNHOLY GELATINOUS SATAN SPAWN DOING ROUND THE YOLK OF MY EGG."
