Quirky Food Habits

When I was poor and in college and I had a sweet tooth attack, I used to put butter on a slice of white bread and then sprinkle sugar on it. My ex-husband taught me that one.

As a kid I loved to get leftover pancakes and smear apple butter all over them, then fold them in half and eat like a sandwich. I think that would make me nauseous now.

When I was little, I would take the leftover pancakes and butter them with a sprinkle of sugar. Mmmm. I'm hungry for one right now.

So do I. Blech. My wife used to put ketchup on tacos. She had to quit that right away; that was a condition I made before I'd even go out with her.

I blame a childhood spent in places like Iowa and whatnot. When she came back home to Texas, she got her act together and started using Pace Picante sauce exclusively.

Me, I'm a Cholula person with tacos now.

Ketchup and chili powder are ingredients in my taco meat.

I HATE butter on pancakes. Especially when I tell the waitress, and they end up coming to the table with butter on them. that ruins the meal for me. I also detest that goopy sugar and carmel flavored stuff they try to pass of as pancake syrup. If it ain't real maple syrup, why bother? Log Cabin and Aunt Jemima taste like ass.

Step away from the kitchen.

I always ask for my drinks without ice when I eat out. most places take up over half the glass with ice! If I order a glass of soda/juice, I want an actuall glassful, not a quarter glass of what I ordered and another quarter glass of half juice/half water....

I hate ice in my drinks! It gets in the way of drinking!

One of my sisters has a weird habit of eating everything seperately, now you might think that this is fairly tame, however she disassembles food to do this, fr'ex she takes the burger out of the buns, eat them then eats the burger......

Mmm, I love butter on pancakes and such, and am not particularly fond of maple syrup...it's too thin and sweet. It's good in small quantities, though, so you can taste the butter and pancake.

I expecially like pancakes with lots of butter and brown sugar. Got the idea from Farmer Boy, one of the Little House on the Prairie books.

I hate ice in my soft drinks - it begins to water them down from the second it drops in. Fountain soft drinks are weak enough already, thanks. I also cannot fathom having ice in juice of any kind.

I tend to eat all my vegetables off the plate and then put tomato sauce (ketchup, Yanquis) on the plate.

I pour any kind of coloured lolly (candy) into a bowl - M&Ms, Smarties (the UK/AU chocolate M&M-style kind), or Skittles - and eat each colour separately. I also like to try and crunch the shell off M&Ms and Smarties first.

When eating an orange, I like to eat each segment separately. Usually just by peeling them away from the body with my teeth.

I like to eat even numbers of crispbreads (which I generally eat plain) and biscuits (cookies, Yanquis).

Just thought of another weird one (my father-in-law does this, too).

I cannot STAND milk that even borders on cool - it must be very, very cold. As such, I'll frequently put an ice cube in my milk so that it stays nice and cold. That gets me LOTS of strange looks.

My fiancee hates ice in sodas. He also puts barbecue sauce on burritos (yuck!). And he smashes potato chips up onto hamburgers occasionally.

I agree, but I can't stand the taste of watered down milk (one the reason I can't stand the taste of 1% milk or less).

As for soda, I like ice, but not half-ice 'n soda at most places. And it must be served in a glass.

I like fry-sauce, it's the only regional Utah tradition I take part in.
