Bad food habits

FistFullaRoux · September 20, 2004

OK, again with the Pop Tarts (aka Britneys...)

I eat the unfrosted areas first. That way, I'm left with the filling and frosting to the end.

I also (I did not do this, but watched in horror) saw someone take a whole stick of butter from the fridge, dip it in a bowl of sugar, bite off the end, chew, swallow, and repeat. The entire stick of butter. Once a day for at least the 10 days I had to be around him. Dude was 6 ft tall, and weighed maybe 200 pounds.... My arm tingled just watching him.

When I eat Chicken Pot Pies (Marie Calendars), I flip them over into a large bowl, mix them up, and pour about 4 oz. of cold milk in it to cool it off. I then proceed to eat the carrots first because they are my least favoirte part.

Ever since I was a kid in grade school, I've made the habit of taking my spaghetti or ghoulash, and scooping it onto my garlic breaad and eat it like a sandwich.

FistFullaRoux · September 20, 2004

Spaghetti sandwiches... I'm feeling you there.

Also, who chews the ice at the end of a fountain drink?

elswinger · September 20, 2004

I chew my ice!

I also like to crunch up Frito's on my "White-trash Hot Dog." ie. An Oscar Meyer all-meat weiner, boiled, on a slice of Wonder Bread with Miracle Whip.

I also like crushed BBQ potato chips on my PB& J sandwich (Skippy Crunchy with strawberry Jelly on fluffy white bread).

Though I am 40, my taste buds haven't changed much since grade school, though I have expanded my horizons.

Growing up in a house with a mother that did not cook, a Franco-American spagetti sandwich on white bread was a good thing that a seven-year old could make themselves...yes, that was a strange delicious treat for me, too!

FFR....ice at the end of a drink? Ooooh....a huge icicle pulled off the side of the gutters at the end of a snowstorm is so much better....and has a, uh, 'bouquet' of dried leaves and rusty minerals to boot!

When I'm eating a raw carrot I like to eat the phloem off first, trying to keep the xylem intact, even though the xylem isn't usually as tasty as the phloem. I save the very end (the stem end) for my dog Margaret, who will have been intently watching me eat.

I'm a Cheerios and banana kinda guy ... and I have to make sure I have a banana in the very last bite. I'll often eat all but one of the banana slices at the very beginning of the bowl, leaving that last slice 'til the end.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned how they eat their Oreos ... frosting first of course!

Basically I eat cereal (Frosted Flakes, Cap'n Crunch, Applejacks, Cocoa Krispies) as fast as I can and still taste it. Absolutely NO sog is allowed. -gah-

The downside, I guess, is that the roof of my mouth hangs in shreds afterwards.

I have a friend who eats each thing all at once - he eats the green vegetable, turns his plate so the next side is in front of him, eats that, turns the plate, etc. etc. Meat is always last.
Eating with him and watching him eat always makes me feel all itchy.
←

As a kid, I also ate each thing all at once (still do...sort of. I don't turn the plate though so very few ever notice that I'm doing it). I remember defending my actions to my grandfather as a five year old, "I like the taste of mashed potatoes and gravy and I don't want to ruin that with the tatse of turnips." It's still true today but I will stray now and then if the combination of flavors doesn't compete.

Except for the dog part, I do the exact same thing!

When I was a kid, my parents were pretty strict about my diet (just all very healthy eating) and I was only allowed two little dry crackers for dessert (Jatz, for those who know what they are! :raz: ) and I would eat around the edges, gradually shrinking them down to the very middle, until there was nothing left. And O! how I could make those two last, savouring every last grain of cracker, salt etc! :laugh:

Hey, it worked, though! To this day I'm pretty good with healthy eating.

Oh, and I really like Vegemite: I smear it on like most people do peanut butter or Nutella! Makes my husband feel sick just watching me! :wacko:

pandorphus · September 22, 2004

When I was a kid, I liked carrot sticks dipped in A1 sauce. My mom ate them, so I tried them... YUM. I haven't had that in years... but I think I'm putting A1 on my next shopping list!!

Susan G · September 22, 2004

I peel off pieces of crispy skin from roasted poultry as I'm carving it for serving: Sometimes I sprinkle salt onto the skin before I pop the greasy bundles into my mouth. Heaven.

TheFoodTutor · September 22, 2004

I used to eat the filled part of the pop-tart and throw away the dry "crusts."
think this says something about our respective personalities?
←

I think it must say something. I'm a "save the best part for last" type when it comes to most foods.

What does this indicate? Willingness to delay gratification? Austerity vs. Hedonism?

Somebody help me out. Oh, when I eat my favorite sashimi assortment, I get 3 pieces each of 5 kinds of fish. On these, I eat one piece from each selection in the order that I like them, from least to most-liked. As I'm nearing the end, if I'm eating with my boyfriend, I pick up one of the pieces from my most favorite variety and I give it to him to eat.

Pretty sick, huh?

StudentChefEclipse · September 22, 2004

Not sick! You are a lovely, sharing person. Can I have a bite, too? (j/k) :laugh: :hmmm: :laugh:

How did everyone drink slurpee's? Were you a "stir as you drink" person or a "suck furious and fast" person who left a big, dry block of ice at the bottom of their cup?

I was a stir as you go kind of guy, but my brother always sucked all of the liquid out of the cup as fast as he could until all of the flavoring was gone.

I used the little spoon thingie at the end of the straw. Eating with it made the slurpee last longer. But sometimes I'd just HAVE to suck it dry! Brain freeze!!!

jgarner53 · September 22, 2004

Oh, definitely stir & slurp. I had a friend who'd usually let half of hers melt because she drank it so slow. My favorite was a "smurf" slurpee: Pina Colada (white) on the bottom, Blue Raspberry (blue) in the middle, and more Pina Colada on top.

Knicke · September 22, 2004

I was a fast-and-furious Slurpee drinker - though slow enough to avoid ice cream headaches most of the time.

I also routinely sucked the 'juice' from popsicles, etc. YUM. Still do sometimes.

dougery · September 22, 2004

Now Icee (the red and blue cup with a polar bear, the one you would buy at Woolworths or Kmart) was a different story. I would stir that one until the end of the day and I would still slurp all of the juice out of the ice.

You married? :wink: :biggrin:

Septemberdog61 · September 23, 2004

After the first bite, I eat corn on the cob one row at a time.

I blot the excess oil of of my pizza with napkins.

I like sweet pickles sliced paper thin on my peanut butter sandwich. No Jelly ever.

NulloModo · September 23, 2004

I never liked french fries with ketchup. French fries had to be served with mayo, blue cheese dressing, or (the best) old bay seasoning and malt vinegar. Then again, I also like old bay and vinegar on cheesesteaks...

Ahem. No...

Boy, that sounds really bad upon re-reading. I left myself WIDE OPEN on that one.
