GTKY: weird things you do with your food

nandaboob06 · August 2014

I recently (3 minutes ago) got some flack from my husband about something I do with my ice cream.

I dish it up, pop it in the microwave for 15 seconds, and then eat it. I like semi melted ice cream. Judge me.

I also put beans on my hot dogs and burgers, and chips on my sloppy joes.

I know I'm not the only one here that does this shit. Humor me. Let me know I'm not alone.

When I eat ice cream, I like to put chocolate syrup on it then stir until it melts before I eat it. When I was a kid, I called it ice cream soup.

I also think pineapple, BBQ sauce and cheese can go on anything.

PrimRoseMama · August 2014

I also soften my Icecream :-bd

I love segmented plates. Foods touching is a thing... :-??

I do this exact thing with my ice cream! I love me some ice cream soup.

I put mayo on everything. I used to get the most shit for putting it on French fries but I think this has gotten more common recently.

I have to eat cereal and milk separately. Can't stand sogginess!!

LG2793 · August 2014

Oh, and I have to eat things on my plate in a rotation. I can't stand to see when DH eats all of one thing, then all of the next thing.

nandaboob06 · August 2014

Well either we are a bunch of weirdos for liking soft ice cream or my husband just hasn't had his 'come to the light' moment yet.

Alyssa7012 · August 2014

We eat fried egg sandwiches with peanut butter instead of mayo on them. Haha I know it sounds awful, dh made me try it when we first started dating and now I prefer them that way.

This is truly weird. I like it.

DawnLilly · August 2014

I used to soften my vanilla ice cream add chocolate syrup and mix it up well. I don't eat ice cream really anymore.

My weird food thing is that I lick tortilla chips before dipping them and eat the salt off of pretzels before eating them. I have severely low blood pressure though so while this is a quirk, I also think my bp plays a factor in me needing the salt and adding to this habbit.

virginiaorjohn · August 2014

@lg2793 that's hilarious! I can't stand dry cereal so it's hard for me to imagine but I love that it's your thing!

Y'all heating up your ice cream is so funny as well! I've never seen anyone make ice cream soup, but I love that it's so prevalent on this board.

I don't know if I have anything that stands up to these fun tricks. I guess I put hot sauce on almost everything. I'm one of *those* people.

I'm like that with Doritos...I lick the cheesy part off of both sides, then eat it lol.

Alyssa7012 · August 2014

@DawnLilly‌ I am your total opposite. I could definitely go without salt on almost everything. I even prefer my fries with no salt, but I do cover them in pepper.

Is anyone else a Nutella freak? I could eat it on everythinggggggggggg

Carebear7777 · August 2014

DH pours milk on his ice cream. I won't touch ice cream once it starts to melt.

People think I'm weird because I hate all condiments except BBQ sauce.

virginiaorjohn · August 2014

@bibliothecary what is akabanga? It sounds awesome/tasty.

HippoTooth · August 2014

When I eat a Wunderbar, I nibble all the way down the side and split it open so I can eat the peanut butter goodness. When I'm done that I eat the Caramel and chocolate coat. ETA: unless you are Canadian you probably don't even know what a Wunderbar is. It's the best fucking chocolate bar. Ever.

nandaboob06 · August 2014

UO: I fucking hate peanut butter on its own. I can have one reeces pb cups, and pp&j on toast but other than that nope.

I totally do this $:\$ ">

I like soggy cereal. I also refuse to eat the last inch or so left in the cereal box because I hate crumbs. They literally make me gag.

Jags8 · August 2014

I put ketchup on Kraft mac n cheese.
But not homemade mac.

I eat my Twix candy bars caramel first, then cookie.

I actually hate melted ice cream, so I put my bowl in the freezer for about 10 minutes before I put ice cream in it.

That's the only way to eat a twix!

HippoTooth · August 2014

I also put ketchup on my scrambled eggs, and syrup on my ham.

danascullyx · August 2014

I eat my hamburgers all around the edges first. I like to save the middle for last.

Read about it here. It's good and spices up food without changing the flavor.

That sounds amazing. I will keep my eye out for it here in the states!

No. Peanut butter is amazing. I eat it straight out of the jar with a spoon.

RN1175 · August 2014

Ice cream that is a little melted is the only way to go. I LOVE cereal that is a little soggy. I also like my French toast with butter, jam, and syrup on it. I have a major sweet tooth. I am surprised I don't have blood sugar issues yet.

I do this with all sandwiches. The middle is the best part.

Cythe · August 2014

I freeze my candy - Reeses, Twix, Snickers, Milky Way, doesn't matter. Frozen is amazing.

Bee1112 · August 2014

So many!!

I have to have my ice cream melted a little too.

My food CAN'T touch. (Yes I know it all goes to the same place and mixes and whatever) Thanksgiving is stressful, not enough room on a plate and too much food! My MIL buys divider plates at holidays for me.

If two foods touch I won't eat the touching parts, I'll just leave a little strip.

Everything has to be eaten one thing at a time, starting with least favorite all the way to favorite.

My drink has to be gone by the time I take my last bite.

I'm strange...

DawnLilly · August 2014

This may be a confession worthy of Friday but I dislike sweets. All the candy, nutella, syrup talk makes my stomach churn.

Nutella is gross. I hate candy, but love chocolate. I know that sounds confusing but it's just the way it is!

No. It's not. A piece of dark chocolate satisfies any sweet tooth I might have. Quality vs quantity I guess.

HippoTooth · August 2014

I'm eating popcorn and dipping it in mustard. That's totally normal right? DH won't even sit near me right now.

BillyHorrible · August 2014

I don't like maple syrup. So I eat pancakes and waffles like cookies. Pick them up, take a bite.

I hate spoons. I will use them with soups or yogurt, but pretty much everything else requires a fork.

VeganOnTuesdays · August 2014

I pick off all the cheese on pizza just to sprinkle that parmesan that's on the table on it.

I never eat the ends of sandwiches. I move on to the other half once I get to the end.

When I eat olives I HAVE to suck out the palmento first before I eat the rest. I can't eat it all at once.

I could go on but I'll spare you anymore weirdness.

I do that with peanut butter cups. Kind of the same thing but not at all.

+1 on the peanut butter cups

mylittlekitty · August 2014

Applesauce on my pizza and syrup on my biscuits and sausage gravy. Yum!

I also prefer to eat my food with plastic forks or spoons. I can taste the metal on the normal ones.

NenaB54 · August 2014

I can't eat corn on the cob, on the cob lol. I have to cut it off and eat it with my fork. I can't stand when it gets stuck in my teeth !
I also love ketchup and mayo combo way too much.

lindsayloo1212 · August 2014

I like to dip fresh plain bagels and crunchy granola bars in water before I eat them. Ya, borderline disordered, but I'm weird like that.

I make BBQ chicken pizza with pineapple and bacon all the time. It is a perfect food.

Yummy. Now I'm drunk and hungry for your BBQ chicken, pineapple and bacon pizza.

Oh boy, I'm a weirdo so here goes...

I like my ice cream semi soft. I always put chocolate syrup on it then I'll eat some normal but then stir the rest to make the soup then eat it. If it's really hard in the container I put it in the microwave for a few seconds before scooping to get it all soft. I read on one of those life hacks blog posts that you can put the container in a freezer bag to keep it as soft as when you bought it. Totally works.. I've been doing it the last few times I bought some.

My food can't touch on my plate. I used to eat all of one dish before moving on to the next but I've gotten better about this. I do save my favorite for last though.

I don't eat any condiments or veggies on my sandwiches, burgers, or tacos. I will dip burgers in ketchup other than that just meat (including bacon) and cheese allowed on it. Sometimes I use mayo on sandwiches, especially at subway but only a little. I do eat veggies like on a salad but I don't like them mixed with meat. The lettuce makes the meat taste weird to me... tacos are the worst.

I eat lunch meat sandwiches normally but I eat the outside of peanut butter sandwiches first then the middle. Same with Reese's cups.

I LOVE peanut butter and walk around eating it on a spoon all the time. My cat also begs me for it so I share (but not by using the same spoon).

I also love BBQ sauce and will use it in the place of ketchup sometimes.

Aside from the ice cream and occasional candy bar I really don't like sweets. I don't eat cookies, cakes, brownies or pies for the most part. I have a few I really like but I never crave them and would be ok with not eating them again. The exceptions are pecan pie, homemade lemon ice box pie, and german chocolate cake.

I'm sure there's more. Everyone thinks I'm a freak.

Ummmm are you my husband? Because I swear he does almost all of these things!
