My mom, brother, & I were at Costco today & ordered a pizza. We always have the habit of "patting" the pizza with napkins to take off the grease. So we did it. And as my mom was doing it, this guy was just staring at us & probably thinking "Wtf are they doing?" But to us it's normal because well, it's a habit.

Do you guys eat certain foods a certain way? Like whenever I eat pasta with chicken or whatever, I always roll the pasta first & then get a piece of chicken. I dk why. And whenever I drink drinks that are high in sugar, like Sunny D & Cranberry juice, I always put a little bit of water first so it isn't as sweet, you know?
hi-C
I've seen people do that to pizza before, siphoning off the grease. The first time I saw it, I probably thought it was weird, but I've seen enough people do it by now that it's no big deal. I also know what you mean about the spaghetti and the chicken. I do that, except I don't eat meat, so I'm picking up a piece of Tofurkey sausage XD.gif

When I was in elementary school, I used to slide the cheese off my pizza to save it for last. Now, I either fold or tear my pizza slices in half. Also, I will not eat a sandwich or burger until it's been cut in half.

Edit: You could've called this thread food habits =\
ForgiveTheSinner
I'm always too hungry to do that to my pizza lol.

Umm, I roll my spaghetti on fork before shoving in my mouth. I don't know if its considered a habit but I drink my drinks REALLY slow, like I take tiny tiny sips while my sister like finishes hers in 5 minutes. I can never do that.

And I add water to drinks if it's too sweet too.

Can you change it for me, please? flowers.gif


Speaking of sandwiches, I feel weird eating them without chips. It's like a burger without french fires. What I do sometimes is I put some chips in the sandwich & eat it like that. And have some chips on the side of course.

Wow I have some of the weirdest eating habits lol.

I'm like your sister. Kind of. I mean I don't chug the drink but I drink things pretty fast. My grandma, on the other hand, is like you. She takes forever lol.

I like rolling up my spaghetti on a fork on a spoon. If that made sense. Then I let go of the fork and eat the spaghetti from the spoon. It's much neater this way.

There's other stuff but I need to stop procrastinating.
Joanne
^ I do the rolling up with a fork (or chopsticks) for all noodles. All. People look at me funny when I do it.
Gigi
Chopsticks are hard to roll with though, so I leave that technique for only when I have a fork + spoon handy, which is usually when I eat spaghetti.

Plus my mom would probably have a fit about how I'm eating azn noodles with a spoon LOL
karmakiller
Oh man, I CANNOT eat noodles correctly. I never order them when I go out because it becomes a war between me and the fork and the spoon and noodles that are always eluding me.

If I ever eat pancakes or waffles, I never put the syrup on them, I put it on the side of the plate. They get soggy if you put it on them.
Joanne
^ Oh man, I'm so stupid... I never thought to put the syrup on the side!! I'll be sure to do that next time I eat pancakes. XD.gif
hi-C
Oh! Another habit: I dip my breakfast "sausage" in maple syrup. Done it ever since I was a little kid. There's something about the combination of sweet, savory, and salty.
Gigi
OH I LOVE THAT

Or syrup and bacon...mmmm

If I could, I'd only eat the top of muffins, like they sell muffies at Panera Bread.

I do that with ranch Doritos and ham cheese and mustard sandwiches xD.
When I eat things like M&M's and Skittles, I have to put the same number of them on one side of my mouth as the other.

And for cake, I eat the frosting first.
I hate frosting. But I usually pick my muffins and cupcakes apart and eat them, rather than bite into them.

I put syrup on them but also put some on the side. Because usually the waffle/pancake has absorbed the syrup by the time I'm half way done so I just dip it in my side syrup.

Oh man I know what you mean. It's so good. Reminds me of that maple McMuffin thing from McDonald's. I can't remember the name.


Today I noticed that I have to have my fork on the right & drink on the top left corner of my plate. It's all about balance.

Same here. Or I eat the bottom first and save the muffin tops for last.

McGriddles! I've never had one of those because they scare me mellow.gif
manny-the-dino
Yes! McGriddles.

Lol why do they scare you? Is it because you're vegetarian? /doesn't really make sense
Maccabee
When we make bacon (rare cause im jewish but its turkey bacon) we put paper towels on top and bottom as it microwaves to take out the grease.
Also we make a lot of dishes with ground beef and we are also big coffee drinkers and whenever we make ground beef when its done we pour the grease and fat into empty coffee cans and we have a bunch of them in the freezer. haha. and I do that water thing with juice.

I do that with pretty much any sandwich, and flavor of lays. sometime doritos or fritos.

When i have food and a drink, I always save the drink for last, i have no idea why, i just don't like food and drinks together.

Nah, they scared me before the vegetarianism. Cuz it's like... maple syrup and pancakes, okay. Maple syrup and sausage, okay. But pancakes, maple syrup, sausage, AND eggs? Nah, I'll pass.
Maccabee
I make my own mcgriddles! I make pancakes and por syrup into it right before i flip it and its good:)
I also like adding choco chips!

I dab the grease off my pizza a lot of the time, too. It makes me feel a bit better about eating it. IDK.

laugh.gif same here.
I eat cheesburgers upside down, if that counts. I have to have chips in their bag, I don't like them splayed out everywhere. If french fries are too salty, I'll scrape off the salt. The list goes on.
Cyanide-
whenever i have a bowl of chex mix i always eat everything else first and leave the light brown chex for last.
hi-C
If I eat trail mix with peanuts, raisins, and chocolate, I'll make little piles with equal amounts of each and eat them like that. Normally, only one chocolate per pile and then raisins and peanuts equally distributed.
smash
i smell my food and drinks before i eat or drink them. i don't know why but i always end up picking at my fingers whenever i eat.
DoubleJ
When I get a pint of butter pecan from ben & jerrys, I melt it in the microwave and then flip it over and eat the bottoms side first because that has the most pecans!
manny-the-dino
Whenever I eat cookies, mainly chocolate chip cookies, I get 4, put one aside, put the other three in my cup of milk & dip the one I put aside. Once I drink all my milk, I'll eat the soggy cookies at the bottom.
JackRapington
^Ugh. That would make me gag. I dun like over soaked cookies. D:
manny-the-dino
Haha. Yeah most people don't, I guess.
JackRapington
I like weird stuff though. Like pepper in Pepsi and salt in certain kinds of ice creme.
manny-the-dino
Lol that is weird. Why pepper & salt? It kind of clashes with the sweetness of the ice cream.
smash
that's kinda sick. i could see myself puttin' salt on some sorbet but ice cream??? no, thank you. i dip my grilled cheese in salsa.
JackRapington
Salty and sweet = awsoooome. Salted peanuts in Pepsi is really good to.
smash
i've had Skittles in Sprite but peanuts in Pepsi? that's a first. somehow i feel like it could be something i might like. i'd have to substitute the Pepsi for rootbeer though.

I can see that. It's like how I like my veggie sausage with maple syrup. I have a cousin, though, who puts maple syrup on her grilled cheese. Now that's weird.

I dip my grilled cheese in barbeque sauce, sometimes. I've been doing it more and more frequently since we've got my favorite barbeque sauce in the house (Sweet Baby Ray's, you will never find a better tasting barbeque sauce ever).
smash
ever huh? i'll have to see if they have some of tha out here.
smash
bump

i always have to have a cold glass of water whenever i eat ice cream.
manny-the-dino
^Haha that's understandable.

Whenever I eat I always have to have something to drink. If I don't it feels weird. And my drink always has to be at the top left corner of my plate. /ocd
schizo
^I can't eat anything without a drink either, and the drink HAS to be milk if it's dinner or dessert. It washes everything down without adding some weird flavor.
karmakiller
I gotta try the salsa and grilled cheese thing. For some reason that sounds really good to me. I always put salsa and cheese in my wraps when I make 'em.

I only like chocolate milk. It's weird, I'll put milk in stuff and on stuff but I can't drink it straight... unless it's chocolate. And I never make sandwiches, I always eat open face sandwiches. (But I'm going to have to compromise when I try the grilled cheese and salsa thing.)

My mom always put my drink at the top right-hand corner of my plate, but I move it to the left-hand corner. I eat with my right hand, so it's more convenient to drink with my left hand.

I eat my food extremely fast. I cant help it, I just love food too much to eat it slow.
synatribe
when I go to subway and I get the sweet onion chicken teriyaki, I have to always get the Ms.Vickies Jalepeno chips and when I get the Meatball Marinara, I have to get the lays salt and vinegar chips, thats all I can think of for now :]

Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum and was looking for the introduction thread so I can properly introduce my self to the forum members, but wasn't able to find it.

Anyway, I've seen people do that to pizza and pasta, siphoning off the grease. The first time I saw it, I thought that it was weird. But I've seen many people do it and it's no big deal. I also know what you mean about the spaghetti and the chicken. When I was in my teenage years, I used to slide the cheese off my pizza to save it for last. Now, I fold my pizza slices in half. Also, I will not eat a sandwich or burger until it's been cut in half.:)
