    The only fruit that I won't touch is durian...My Malaysian friend those me that they eat that rice as a meal.

    Yes. But I think it's less common now...mostly it's eaten as a fruit these days.

    It is very heaty, and very rich if you've got good ones. Pretty calorific too.

    My recommendation is eat mangosteens and skip the durian.

    Mangoes are considered heaty too, I think. You're not supposed to eat them if you have coughs and such.

    How do you eat your corn on the cob?

    I eat corn like my mother does, I hold the cob in my fist vertically and then pluck each kernal off with my thumb or bite each one at a time with my teeth.  I think this is the korean method, as I see a lot of koreans do it this way.  They must do it like this, cause korean corn is awful.  It tastes like a starchy mess and it sticks to your teeth.

    I feel better already. I eat it like that too.

    My suggestions:

    Bread: Freeze it

    Buttermilk: Don't buy it. Use the Vinegar or cream of tartar or lemon juice and milk trick. I do this, so I don't understand the madness that makes me buy yogurt for this purpose.

    Green onions: Rinse, wrap in damp paper towels, tupperware it and don't put in crisper.

    When I seperate a banana from its bunch, quite often the peel tears at the stem end, making that the logical end to start peeling from. :hmmm:

    I thought that was how you were SUPPOSED to peel a banana :huh:

    And .... because there's sometimes a small, black hard spot on the flesh at the tip end, you can just squeeze the banana off through the peel at that point when you get to the last bite.

    SB (does not necessarily believe that emulating monkeys is such a great idea :hmmm: )(matter of fact; wouldn't it be reverse-evolution? :huh:

    Isn't that how you peel a banana?

    Pizza.....Pepperoni Pizza......dipped in Ranch Dressing while eating it.

    I think that is delicious, though I will only dip the crust (not the toppings part). My wife will dip any part of the pizza in ranch dressing, regardless of the toppings.

    There's a local pizza chain in Colorado, Beau Jo's. Their specialty is Mountain Pies: thick crusted pizzas with good-sized rims. On every table is a squeeze bottle of honey, with the top trimmed to make the hole bigger. You eat the pizza, and then drizzle some honey onto the crust rim and eat that for dessert. I wish we were closer than 1700 miles.

    When I bought pizza for my not-so-little ('cause the little bugger tops me by several heads) brother yesterday, he told me the crust was the best part. So I said I'd make pizza bread (ie pizza without toppings) for him this weekend.

    I'll have to try this.

    Are you using skim/2% milk? The higher the fat content, the more effective. If you have cream, that would work the best. Then again, with vegetable oil being so cheap, that would be my first goto.

    If cream is better than milk, wouldn't butter be best?

    I eat the crusts of sandwiches first before eating the squishy soft parts inside.

    I try not to do this in public, because I'm weird enough without adding my eating habits to mix.

    When I cook noodle soup at home, I often add meatballs or fishballs. I hunt for all the meat, veggies etc, eat them and then I move onto the good part--the noodles, except that when I'm eating certain kinds of Asian noodles, it soaks up all the soup. I've discovered that this is the reason why I have to add soy sauce to my noodle soup--because fishballs and meatballs are saltier than the noodle soup itself, and by the time I finish them, my tastebuds are accustomed to more saltiness.

    If I take half a dozen cookies, put them in a bowl, and sit down with them, I'll find that I can't finish them. But if I take just three, I'll go back for more.

    eGers, please tell me what to do.
