When we venture to McDonald's, our 10 year old likes dipping chicken nuggets and chips into strawberry milkshake and eating them. I have found that this is quite common, apparently. He also likes jam and wotsits sandwiches, which he's just had. That got me thinking, what's your weird eating habit?
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.

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

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.
