Spinoff- food quirks

I am super weird/particular about my food. Here are some of mine. Share yours:

Chunks in sauce/salsa repulse me LOL. I can only eat a completely smooth sauce (the tomato seeds and rolled up skins make me cringe)

I only like melted cheese on burgers, not sandwiches-ever

I cannot eat reheated chicken

I eat kit kats in layers

The whole idea of cheese in desserts grosses me out (no cheesecake or cannoli for me!)

I'm addicted to Wint-o-green lifesavers. It's a problem


I have issues!

Spinoff- food quirks

I cannot stand raisins or dried fruit in anything. So nasty! So no fruitcake for me at the holidays

Spinoff- food quirks

NO FRUIT IN FOOD! No oranges in salads, no dates, grapes or raisins with meat, and absolutely no apples in anything....apples are only meant to be eaten plain or on a stick slathered with caramel! LOL

Re: Spinoff- food quirks

I also cannot eat reheated chicken.

I can’t stand reheated beef.

I will not eat lamb; however, I do love other game meat, such as quail, ostrich, zebra, and others.

I’m not a huge rice fan. I’ll eat a little, but that’s it.

I won’t eat tuna that comes out of a can, despite the fact that I love fish.

I don’t like Hot Dogs or certain kinds of sausage. The texture freaks me out.

Spinoff- food quirks

I hate onions.

I will only eat mayo on homemade macaroni salad or tuna fish. It’s gross in any other application.

I like peas, but it skeeves me when they get into my mashed potatoes.

I only like corn on the cob, not off the cob.

Spinoff- food quirks

I prefer crunchy over squishy - crunchy fries are way better than squishy fries. I like waffles (crunchy) but hate pancakes.

Love chocolate but hate pudding and mousse.

Jello makes me want to gag bc when I had a kid net infection as a kid and ate nothing but jello for a week and now I think it’s gross.

Re: Spinoff- food quirks

I even out colors of m&ms (if I have 3 red, 2 green, and a yellow, I’ll eat 2 red, 1 green so I have 1 left of each color and then eat them)

I’ll only eat white meat chicken

I won’t eat any meat on the bone (including white meat chicken)

I like raisins but not cooked in food

Burgers are my favorite food but I will only eat them as a cheeseburger. No cheese, won’t eat.

I eat my meals proportionally so at any point my main course and sides all have equal proportions left . I then leave it so there’s a bite of each left. I order the last bites in terms of least to most favorite.

Spinoff- food quirks

I have a ton.

I can't eat anything sweet as a meal- so no pancakes, waffles, French toast. Sweet is dessert.

I am extremely particular about chicken- no dark meat, must be perfectly trimmed and never, ever any processed chicken of any kind.

I don't like beef, lamb or any other "dark" meat.

The only pork I can eat is bacon or prosciutto.

The smell and texture of eggs makes me want to vomit. I can't eat them, no matter how they're cooked. Coupled with my pancake/waffle issues , it makes going out for breakfast a PITA.

I am repulsed by milk. The sight of it makes me gag and if I spill it on me I freak out. I make DH rinse DD's cup if she has milk and if I see anyone drink it out of a glass I nearly die.

No condiments. No ketchup, mustard, relish and DEFINITELY no mayo. Unless it's on good quality macaroni salad. Then I can eat it.

I don't like pumpkin spice anything unless it's coming out of a Bath and Body Works bottle.

Cake fillings should never involve fruit. Don't put anything healthy in my cake.

Raisins freak me out.

Spinoff- food quirks

I can't eat meat off the bone. The thought of holding a chickens wing or leg in my hand grosses me out.

I can only eat melted cheese. Never cold slices.

The runny part of an egg makes me want to die and I can't understand how anyone can eat it, let alone dip bread into it.

I can't drink anything when I still have food in my mouth. Grosses me out when I see people do it.

I can't eat fruit because the juices squirting in my mouth makes me want to gag.

I'm sure there are more but can't think of anything else.

Re: Spinoff- food quirks

LOL I can relate to a bunch of these. Some of them are making me

Re: Spinoff- food quirks

I cannot, under any circumstance, eat any kind of cheese that smells. No parmesan , no romano, no provolone. I can't even be in the same room as it because the stench makes me gag. Parmesan cheese can't even be on the table at a restaurant because I can smell it and I freak out.
Also I cannot have feta cheese anywhere near my food, those crumbles at like roaches... they get everywhere and you can't pick them out.
Goat cheese disgusts me too.
Blue cheese is also a huge no no... the cheese itself and the dressing. Chunks of rot in my dressing? Enough to make me vomit.

I don't eat veal. I rarely ever eat a steak. Burgers I can live without too but will eat on occasion.

Not a fan of fruit or sweet mixed with savory. Like fruit in a salad, raspberry vinaigrette dressing, etc.

Everything else is pretty much fair game.

Re: Spinoff- food quirks

I don't like cream sauces. At all.

I can't eat a sandwich that doesn't have everything inside evenly distributed.

I don't like "white" condiments and if a blob of mayo should touch me I am totally skeeved.

When I eat gummy bears, I always choose two different colors, put them back to back and then bite their heads off first.

I love things that are really toasted or burnt. Burnt pretzels are my favorite!! I love burnt Cheez Its, saltine crackers, toast, and anything topped with cheese need to be well done and brown and bubbly.

I put ground black pepper on EVERYTHING savory. Love pepper, it makes everything better.

I am NEVER without white Tic-Tacs. I pound those things like crack!

I cannot stand honey, the smell alone makes me dry heave. Evidently when I was a baby (back in the clueless 70's lol) my Grandma told my mom to give me a pacifier covered in honey every time I cried. I think they turned me off to honey as I got older. It's a good thing I didn't get botulism!! LOL

Spinoff- food quirks

Quirks -- I love meat, but will never eat a fast food burger. They skeeve me out.
I think mayo is gross but love ceaser dressing. I just tell myself it isnt made with mayo.
The smells of yogurt and bananas make me gag
I also hate chunks in anything -- i blend down my sauces and salsa's

Not so quirky but i dont like sushi just because the idea of raw meat freaks me out

Re: Spinoff- food quirks

I'm a big texture person when it comes to food. But something that absolutely repulses me is egg yolks/hardboiled eggs.

Re: Spinoff- food quirks

I am grossed out by overly ripe fruit. I can only eat bananas that are completely yellow, no brown or bruising, and other fruit needs to still be firm, not soft and mushy. Also orange seeds gross me out so DH has to cut open oranges and take out the seeds, I gag doing it.

Re: Spinoff- food quirks

I eat like a 2 year old and don't eat much

In all seriousness I have gotten better.


Some quirks though I will not eat cheese unless its melted on my eggs, sandwiches, burgers etc.

I won't eat hamburgers only cheese burgers

I like bacon but not on my food. So I don't want them on my sandwiches (including egg sandwiches) burger etc. I feel like when that happens all I am tasting is bacon. Only exception to this is BLTs

I won't eat tuna fish if I make it someone else has to make it for me (I hate seafood and this is the closet think I eat to fish)

I usually like to eat one thing at a time on my plates. So either I eat all my meat and then move to the side or vice versa

Re: Spinoff- food quirks

I also cannot mix sweet and savory

And if I do not finish a dish that has seafood in it, it gets thrown out. I cannot understand how people can re-heat fish...

Re: Spinoff- food quirks

Re: Spinoff- food quirks

I have a lot of food quirks too.
I love all kinds of cheese, but don't give me a cheeseburger, only a plain hamburger.
I don't use any condiments, and don't put a pickle on my plate, yuck!
The only eggs I eat are scrambled, and they must be hot out of the pan, so none in a restaurant or buffet.
Don't mix my food together, everything must be separate, so no stews or casseroles. A sectioned plate would be best!

Re: Spinoff- food quirks

I think Milk is my only "quirk". I cannot drink milk. I hate it. I can have it on cereal and in coffee but I've never been able to drink it. Even when I was a child, my mom would only give us milk with meals and I'd never drink it.

Other than that, I have a few things I dislike, but I'd still eat them if I was starving. I eat just about anything

Re: Spinoff- food quirks

None that I can think of. There may be some things I'm not a huge fan of, but I wouldn't call it a quirk and I'll probably eat it anyway. I eat everything. People on this thread would go into hysterics if they saw the things I eat lol.

Re: Spinoff- food quirks

Re: Spinoff- food quirks

i only have two little food quirks

* i love sweet and savory together... except at breakfast. my syrup better not touch my eggs and my ketchup (if i have any) better not touch my pancakes/waffles etc. if breakfast consists of those items, i want them on two separate plates.

* i HATE tapioca. the texture makes me gag. i believe in the devil... because he created burpees and tapioca. yuck.

other than that, i'm pretty easy going about food. maybe that's why i've struggled with my weight my entire life lol
