I thought everyone did it this way...

[cheynesnana]

DS#1 is the same way.... he thinks that if the milk is in a glass for more than 5 minutes, he can't drink it. 'SOUR' he practically screams!!!

EWWY foods- DH eats fried bologna sandwiches. (Newfy steaks he calls them!) They look disgusting and it makes the kitchen REEK!!! I don't buy him bologna very often!! lol

He'll also put maple syrup on top of his ice cream. DS#1 puts both maple syrup and chocolate syrup on his... ewwwwwwww (and whipped cream if we have it!) Me.... I'll take just whipped cream any day, or if we have a huge supply of BC canned frosting, I'll put a spoonful on top of my ice cream. (Gotta use that stuff up somehow since I make homemade frosting when I bake a cake!)

and LOL - if I had to have the house spotless before I left to go anywhere, I'd never been seen in public. I have kids -and clutter!!!!

LOL.. my ex loved fried bologna sandwiches too!

my strange thing is milk... NO ONE can drink out of my milk glass.. don't care who you are! I'll share anything else.. but if you drink out of my milk it's yours!

not so strange I do this too, except I wont share any milk or ice cream, especially like a bowl of ice cream thats gross!

my weirdest thing was... tampons! when I was growing up my mom told me if I used them I would die! I didnt start until I was 19, out of the house and bought my own and read the paper work that talked about TSS.

I have to be covered up with something when I sleep. even when its 108 outside.

My sister use to put ketchup on everything, from eggs to mac and cheese!

Yeah... I should clarify.. LOL.. it's all milk products.. not just milk!

[loveebella]

I put ketchup on scrambled eggs and fried potatoes. I do not know why but I have to have ketchup on them.
I prefer sunny side up eggs,but at them same time I get grossed out when I eat them because they are runny,but I won't eat them if they are too dry.

[bunnynugget305]

I cant stand eggs!!!!! unless they are hard boiled!!
My weird quirk is what most refer to as a "drinking fountain" I refer to it as a "bubbler"
What do you call it??

[sadlady12]

LOL... this is hilarious!

I DO NOT drink milk of any kind at all. It grosses me out and always has ever since I can remember. Later in life I discovered I am lactose intolerant so that probably explains a lot. I love ice cream and cheese and yogurt and all though, however, with Vanilla or (white) ice cream if I think about it too long, I'll get grossed out and won't eat it, lol. Ice cream must also be eaten immediately!! I will not eat it if it's melted, even a little bit, nope can't do it!

Soggy bread....ewwwwww!! Me too, can't stand it! I can dip my bread in gravy or whatever one bite at a time and be fine though. Ice cream and cake, same concept, don't let the ice cream touch my cake, lol.

My dh used to eat fried bologna sandwiches until I smelled it! Ewwwwww!!!! Nope, I don't even buy it anymore. I despise bologna and always have and I hate all hot dogs but can get through eating one here and there with enough chili on it, but I don't like it!

One of my dh's good friends has this quirk that I find interesting and wondered if anyone else shared it....

He can't deal with any "sticky" foods. Syrup, jelly, honey, marshmallows(melted), peanut butter is right there on the line for him too.

I'm from the south so alot of you will think this is weird. I like to put quick grits on top of sunny side up fried eggs. Yum, Yum. Can't stand instant grits. Don't ever put garlic on any seafood I eat. GAG. Boiled shrimp need to be cold, never heard of hot boiled shrimp until I want to Shoney's seafood buffet. Have dined on frog legs, gator tail and woodchuck aka groundhog. Groundhogs are cleaner than chickens. Groundhogs eat veggies, fruits etc. Chickens will eat anything including each other.

I've had fried bologna sandwich's before, with cheese and ketchup. Too much salt for me now. I'll dip my toast in a cup of hot tea. Don't know where I got his idea but I sometimes will mix applesauce and baked beans together. Just on the plate not a whole batch.

[hholder]

brown gravy on grits and eggs. That's the way I grew up eating grits. My DH said it's a german thing,lol!

[XUfan]

Cant' say I've ever eaten brown gravy on grits...but I'd try it! My dad always ate gravy on baked potatoes, so I do that too.

Seems like alot of us have some odd eating habits...or at least they're odd to other people. They're just what make us unique!!

I have to eat oatmeal or cream of wheat with a soup spoon. Don't ask why! I just do!

Also, when I'm eating anything breaded, and I want to dip it in something, I dip my fork in the condiment first..then pick up the bite of the food. Fish sticks with tartar sauce or cocktail sauce work so much better this way. They don't fall apart in the tartar sauce!

I can't sleep with socks on, no pj pants, can't stand the way they ride up on me at night! I do sometimes stick my feet out of the covers, in fact since I had a really bad sprain most of the time I have to have a foot hanging off the bed.

My worst quirk is that I can't have food touching. I eat things one at a time, eating the food that gets cold the fastest. Green veggies first always, then whatever I deem to get cold quicker. Everyone at work knows about it and likes to watch me at holiday brunches to see how I manage a plate full of food.

Cannot wear anything to bed.
Cannot get into the bed with tucked in sheets, even in hotel have to free it up.
Food not touching reminds me of Mr. Monk (I'm in grieving for losing him..)

Funny thread...I hate dirt on my hands period, right or left. I love to garden and cannot wear gloves so of course my hands get dirty, so I come in about every 10 min. to wash them. It litterally grosses me out to have dirty hands.

One of my quirks...I eat biscuits and gravy with sugar on it. I thought everyone did this until I met my husband who thought it was gross. Until that is I got him to try it and now he cannot imagine eating it without a little sprinkle of sugar on the top.

queen, here is a tip to keep clean nails with gardening: scratch a bar of soap before starting any dirty work. Yes, dirty nails is my pet peeve.

Speaking of eggs, no poached or sunny side up for me... I can not eat an egg if it's got a runny yolk!! It just absolutely grosses me out!! It even grosses me out if I'm washing the dishes and there's all that runny yolk junk all over the plate!!!

do not mind half-runny yolk, but it MUST be cooked. BTW, I always break and check my eggs over separate bowl before cooking or adding into the recepie mix. My grandma taught me to do so to check for blood clots inside of the eggs, especially in brown eggs and make sure nothing else will get into the recepie: sanitary purpose and making sure the recepie will come out right.

Love liver and toungue, do not care for meats prepared or served with sweet sauce, exept BBQ.
I also do dip my cookies into the tea.
