GTKY: weird things you do with your food

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.
    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • @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.

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

    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.
    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.

  • 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!
  • 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!

  • 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 eat my hamburgers all around the edges first. I like to save the middle for last.
    I do this with all sandwiches.  The middle is the best part.
  • 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.
  • I'm eating popcorn and dipping it in mustard. That's totally normal right? DH won't even sit near me right now.
  • 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.

  • 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.

    +1 on the peanut butter cups
  • 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.

    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.

    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. image
  • 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!
