[Closed] Weird eating habits

I only eat things in 4s

Am also partial to a sugar & vinegar sandwich

Condensed milk sandwich.
Yum

I've been told eating gypsy tart is a weird eating habit.

I have orange juice on my cereal instead of milk. I'd definitely recommend it with Coco Pops and Crunchy Nut but not Weetabix or Rice Crispies

I am not going to google 'eating gypsy tart' sat here with my wife next to me.

LOL!

Results were very benign really.

I eat things straight from pans, packets etc if left to my own devices.

Cream of Tomato Soup with a tin of mackerel tipped in. Very nice indeed. Honest.

That actually sounds like a great idea, @martinhutch. I’m going to give it a try.

I have a very sweet tooth and you cannot get a sweeter pudding. I think it's a Kent thing though. I remember getting it in primary school with school dinners, I think it would be banned now!

Weetabix, dry spread with butter and marmalade. Yum

** Warning - this may be highly addictive **

I've not tried it but a mate of mine put on about 2-3 stones, seemingly over a couple of months

Apparently he couldn't stop eating coronation chicken - using Bourbon biscuits as a scoop 🤢

The only way I can eat a kit-kat is by nibbling all the chocolate off the finger, starting with the ends and sides.

Then I try to nibble the top and bottom layers off, so I'm just left with wafer. Which has Usualy snapped by that point.

I love raw onion. When I'm cooking with onions I'll generally chop up one more than I need because I'll munch through at least one onion as I chop and cook. My breath smells lovely afterwards, as you can imagine.

@mrwhyte another Kent person! No one else in the world seems to have a clue what gypsy tart is!

Since my only experience of eating in McDonalds was that it tasted of nothing, I would imagine you could dip anything in anything else without consequence.
McFillet of fish in a McFlurry for example.
McYum!

I eat things in order of preference. For example, tonight I ate ALL of the peas then ALL of the chips then the pie. No mixing stuff up.

When I make stuff like Spag Bol or Chilli and Rice, I put the pasta/rice beside the sauce to facilitate this.

Ham, jam and digestive biscuit sandwich. Brown bread obvs. No butter either, just tastes weird.

That's exactly what he does too. Eats one food type at a time, never mixes anything. Which is bizarre thinking of his other concoctions.

I like apple or rhubarb pie with milk. Lots of people think I'm mad, but it's really nice.

I found out the other day that peanut butter goes well in porridge

PB and marmite going in next time round

Every day I only eat 454g of Meridian crunchy peanut butter and 3 scoops of Chocolate Protein Mousse, i.e. protein shake with less than recommended amount of water. Spoon peanut butter dipped in mousse. Yummy

gypsy tart ftw

not had one for years though

might have to rectify that

Steak with fried eggs.
Pizza with broccoli on.

Not particularly weird, but strawberry jam and Wensleydale cheese on toast is rather delicious.

Gromit.

Steak with fried eggs.

Steak and eggs is a thing not weird eating habits.

Can't say I have any myself.

Cheese and jam is marvelous not them in a sandwich for years.

Somebody commented on me putting salt on my buttered bread the other day. Didn't think it was that weird.

Really!? I’ve been eating this combination for years, everyone else thinks Its weird. Me and astronauts apparently!
Hipsters can **** off with the onions though.

 

I do the eating things in preference thing, in ascending order.

Say I have pizza, salad and chips perhaps..I would eat the salad, get that out of the way, then the chips and finally the pizza.

I used to enjoy this on dry bread.

Another 'one thing at a time' eater here, usually green things first (unless there are carrots on the plate), then protein, then carbs.

Although, if the meal is stuff all mixed up like hash for example, I'm happy to eat it as a combination.

@mrwhyte another Kent person! No one else in the world seems to have a clue what gypsy tart is!

Suffolk born and bred and I remember it. I have a really sweet tooth and it really was on my limit! That pink rhubarb wobbly stuff from school dinners was vile though.

Biting the ends off Cadbury's chocolate fingers and drinking coffee through them. Also works with Twirls.

The closest to a weird eating habit I have is eating everything on my plate proportionally ensuring I keep in balance the least favourite and the favourite foods for 85% of the meal. By 95% only the favourites should remain. 99% is the mostest favouritest aspect of the meal.

Peanut butter and HP sauce sandwiches.

Not weird as such, but if I eat a sports biscuit, malted milk or the like I’ll always try and eat around the picture. I once ended up with a perfect large cow from a malted milk biscuit. That was a good day. Funkmaster P winning at life.

Like that only about one million percent better than that

our 10 year old likes dipping chicken nuggets and chips into strawberry milkshake and eating them.

I used to do that. Can't get McD milkshakes in Spain though 🙁

Don't think I've got any particularly weird eating habits, although I suspect the amount of curry I eat looks pretty weird to a Spaniard.

Asda still sells gypsy tart.

I tend to have an aversion to fruit for some reason. It's not the flavours, more the cold, wet sweet texture.
Gypsy tart is fantastic stuff! There seems to be one supplier in Kent, as far as I can see in shops. Bing is another Kent delight; I haven't seen it anywhere else. Also, I'd lived in Ashord for 30 years but only when I moved to Dover did I come across the Sheppie, which is basically a Shepherds Pie fritter (so deep fired Shepherds pie).

Wait until the grown ups see your posts .....

I have 9, sliced in half, cherry tomatoes in my lunch salad. Every single working day. The only thing that changes in my salad is the type of ham. I can make the salad in under 3 minutes, as I do it the same every night. I'm not ocd or anything, so dunno why it has to be this way.

I also butter toast before applying the peanut butter - I thought this was normal, but was told it's vile and weird. Toast cannot possibly be eaten without butter though, so I don't understand why it's weird.

Toast with marmalade and a lump of cheese. It was what my grandmother used to feed me as a kid and I love it to this day.
Strong cheddar with a few drips of lemon juice.

I eat a lot of bread. Over the last two days I have gone through a whole loaf of it from our local bakery with basically just butter. I loooove bread.

My luxury, "spoiling myself" meal last week when my girlfriend was away was beans on toast. I know. Gangsta

Is that the Plaxtol Village bakery ones? After moving to Devon, I never see it. May have to make some and take the treat in to work, they will be blown away by the sweet treat.

Amateur - I've eaten 4 in a day 🙂

Couldn't poop for 2 days!

For the gypsy tart/condensed milk lovers: habshi halwa from an Indian sweet shop is a winner - sickly as ****! Soooo good, but so vomit inducing.

I've got a sweat tooth and love a doughnut pre-breakfast when the other half is still asleep and I bimble around the house. Can be swapped/accompanied by chocolate biscuits and profiteroles when they're available. I can hit 600 calories before breakfast.. Apparently I'm a weirdo.

My other half is Russian and she often has rye bread with a thick slice of butter covered in sugar.

my sister used to eat Crisps and honey in a sandwich when I was a kid.

@mrwhyte another Kent person! No one else in the world seems to have a clue what gypsy tart is!

It's a North Kent school dinner staple. Gary Rhodes did a "recipe" for it on TV once, he was at school in Rainham. I say "recipe" because it's just brown sugar mixed with condensed milk in a shortcrust case.
It's disgusting BTW, if you like it you're wrong.

I love crumbling a beef oxo cube over a packet of ready salted crisps... Like salt n shake, but beefier.

I used to make gypsy tart in my old job, special need school in Kent.

At least 2 inches thick and really creamy. It is quite difficult to get it right.
When I took it off the menu, there was nearly a staff revolt.

In my home town in France, we eat hare, 5 minutes in oven, and drop melting lard on the skin to make skin crispy and inside raw.

Hot Cross buns with hard boiled egg

As a kid Strawberries were a seasonal Summer treat. My mother used to serve them sprinkled with sugar then cream poured on top. The best bit was the sugar infused cream left at the bottom of the dish. As an adult if Mrs taxi is out I'll stir 3-4 tablespoons of sugar into half pint of double cream and eat it out if the carton. Not for those counting calories 😉

I occasionally partake in a Ham, banana, peanut and curry powder pizza

My 7 year old son will only eat boiled eggs after being sprinkled with sugar!

A colleague at work sticks his tongue out considerably when eating and puts his food right in the middle of his tongue, looks really weird, I guess it maxes out the flavour?

I only eat the top of a pizza, never eat the base its much too stodgy.

i get a loaf of tiger bread, take all the insides out and butter the whole loaf inside so it is all tiger crust 🙂

if i make myself meat and vegetables, being single ill eat the meat on its own (steak, chicken etc.)one day
and then eat the vegetables on their own the next day

I also butter toast before applying the peanut butter – I thought this was normal, but was told it’s vile and weird. Toast cannot possibly be eaten without butter though, so I don’t understand why it’s weird.

It's not weird at all.

Cheese and banana sandwich,first consumed during my first trip to the States.
I was so damn tired when they handed me a cheese sandwich and a banana I just put them together.

Another hands up for the Wensleydale and strawberry jam thing - love it on toast. I guess that's because I am from Yorkshire and was brought up believing eating fruit cake and cheese was perfectly normal (of course I still do that too).

Another one of mine is burnt food- as close to burnt as possible without it actually being charcoal tasting.
