I have put chips on my sandwichs since I was little. Now I don’t have as many chips around or eat as many sandwiches. It is the crunch thing too.
Which gets me to my biggest quick… texture. I hate the crunch of a crunchy piece of iceberg lettuce. I didn’t eat salads or lettuce until I was in my 20s becasue of it.
I tolerate lettuce better now but don’t like crunchy pieces. It helps if I have croutons or something else to blame the crunch on.
Lastly and from left field… blood reminds me of how rust or metal tastes. Maybe it is the iron. I am sure I need to clarify that this is from busted lips, gums, teeth (ie blood from the mouth).
I do not suck on any kind of wounds. [/quote]
I have the same problem with the crunch pieces! This is why I use Butter Lettuce or Leaf Lettuce and pull off the leaves without the crunchy part on them only!
A great wonderful invention when done right. It was only just recently where I had Southern style grits, to where I was willing to fight if someone would try to take them away.

As a kid, I refused to eat pudding, yogurt, jello, cottage cheese, bananas, oatmeal and any other food that was soft and mushy, but I loved mashed potatoes.
I also have a system for how I take eggs out of the carton. And I can’t stand coffee that isn’t a nice dark roast that was brewed at triple strength

I LOVE cilantro…will chop a ton of it and put it in guacamole, another one of my food loves. I had a cilantro plant but my cat got to it and chewed the stem and it died

Proof cilantro is evil, it killed CL’s cat! F-U CILANTRO!!!
Homemade pasta sauce - worth the time to make it, and when given to those raised on that abomination known as Prego or Ragu, has been known to ellicit tears of joy. At least my pasta sauce does that.
Figs - probably my favorite fruit. Just be careful, eating too many can cause… things to move rather effectively.
Coffee - as far as I am concerned, we should have a day dedicated to this wonderful drink. National Coffee Day, has a nice ring to it.

I cannot stand Ketchup (or is it Catsup?), Coffee, Shellfish or Mint.
The smell of those make me nauseated. What’s weird is that I cannot stand the smell of ketchup, but if someone puts it on meatloaf and cooks it. I’m all about it.
Are you MAD??? There is not a scent in existence finer than freshly brewed coffee. And I thought I was crazy.

Sweet, when you come to the test fest I’ll be wearing my cofee scented cologne.

Eggs must come out of the carton such that it is always balanced, most of the weight is on the outside and the centroid is in the middle, or if there is an uneven number of eggs (which is to be avoided, because it’s just not right) it has to balance as close to the centre as possible.
The next bread slice has to come from an even number of slices in so that there are matching pairs of slices leading up to the missing pieces.
Waffles must have butter in every square (that’s not really a quirk, that’s just good sense)
My obsession with odd/even or needing number patterns or balanced distribution(by weight, colour or pattern) in my meals (ie one egg, two bacon, 3 sausages, 4 pieces of toast) drove my mom crazy growing up. She had to convince me that peas were not whole units and I had to count them by tens because 4 peas was not acceptable for vegetables with dinner.
Before eating Smarties, they must be sorted and arranged like a bar graph in ascending order.
I don’t do this quite as much anymore.[/quote]
You have OCD, obsessive compulsive dissorder. That’s another thread.
I also hate cold beans with a passion. Even looking at cold beans fucking drives me crazy, shit gets all filmy and nasty looking. If i need to eat, and I have beans as leftovers, it’s a mental struggle to get that shit out of the fridge, heat it up, and eat it, because by the time im done putting that shit in the bowl im not even hungry anymore. And I heat the fuck out them to make sure I won’t accidently eat some nasty beans at the bottom of the bowl that didn’t get hot. [/quote]
That reminds me of when I lived in Japan. Had a Japanese friend that loved nato…which is fermented beans. Smelled like SHIT. She’d eat it cold mixed with rice. It’d be all sticky and lumpy and disgusting looking. Eeeshh

I smell everything I eat/drink. I don’t just sniff the air I mean I put the fork/spoon/glass whatever up to my nose and take a whiff. I don’t know why. Especially when I’m at a restaurant or someone makes something for me. If I don’t prepare the food myself it’s a must. Half the time I don’t even notice it until someone looks at me funny.
I eat my food according to the macro most dominant in that food. Say I’m having fish, I’ll eat the fish first followed by the vegetable followed by whatever is left. Meat before Veges before grains/starches before milk/drink until there’s nothing left.
As much as I love “finger foods” (chicken wings, ribs, etc.) I hate the smell of the sauce on my hands and use up at least three wet naps after I’m done eating. I usually wipe my hands after each “round” of eating; I’ll eat like 3 or 4 wings and wipe my hands, wash, rinse, repeat. I hate having too much sauce on my fingers and I absolutely refuse to lick my fingers clean. I think that’s absolutely repulsive and I hate watching other people do it (this is only true when I’m eating however; I don’t mind it when a girl wants to suck on my fingers).
I tend to shun restaurant made bread. As tasty as it is, if it’s not from a professional bakery I ain’t eatin’ it. I absolutely hate butter on my toast. I hate it. Peanut butter. Cool. Dairy Butter NO thank you. I’ll eat that shit dry. I actually prefer it dry. Same with like blueberry muffins. Same with corn on the cob. I don’t want/like butter on it.[/quote]
That’s funny. I do the sniffing thing, too. It’s saved my ass from eating bad food and dairy, before!
I have to eat my food in this order: Meat/protein - carbs - vegetables - liquid. Although, I will only mix food if i’m eating mashed potatoes or if it’s an already prepared mixture of food.

That is frickin nasty, I’m sorry you had to watch that. I don’t know how people can eat food that smells like ass.

Nooooo
OC perhaps but not D. Behavior is only necessary to qualify as a disorder when it poses a problem. Plus, eggs ought to be balanced.
