Eccentric Eaters!
I've been told by many a person that I am an eccentric eater. This could be because of something I am actually consuming, or even the way I am eating it. So i thought it would be fun to see how many of us are out there, and what our food quirks are. I will start :)
*I put sriracha on literally everything I consume, its a terrible habit and I am sure that it'll bite me somewhere down the line. *I have cravings for saurkraut, just plain old kraut straight out of the jar! *One of my favorite food combos is pickle spears dipped in ranch dressing. Now, your turn! Have fun! |
I have been told I am a bit eccentric and a picky eater lol
I put ketchup on almost everything, and I think it is a matter of how i eat things, some foods have to be cooked or done a certain way, in a certain order etc. One item i seem to get on occasions that makes everyone comment is a pizza sub from Subway, but I like lettuce and tomato on it *shrugs* lol |

peanut butter slathered on top of a banana
yum! |
Carrots cooked until almost mushy or eaten raw and grated in a Salad…
Baked beans served in a bowl as a side dish, unless it’s Beans on Toast… When eating fruits, I chew with my front teeth then push them up against the roof of my mouth to squeeze out the juice before eating properly… I’ll eat Olives/Olive oil and Sun dried Tomatoes/Sun dried Tomato Pesto with most savoury dishes… Sushi has to have Avocado and Spring Onion among the filling… I eat vegan Cheese and Mustard Sandwiches when I’m sick… Breakfast Cereals I eat with Apple Juice; Milk and Milk alternatives (except Rice Milk) turn my stomach just looking at them… : |
the only thing i can think of that i absolutely must have is Blue Plate mayo. oh gosh i love Blue Plate! and i'll eat it with most anything. eggs, butter beans, biscuit, cornbread/onion and BP, banana, shrimp, ...
i like order, ... on my plate. and i like eating foods in order. eccentric? i don't know. peculiar? yeah. |
I love anything pickled. Pickled beets, picked onions, pickled herring, I love love love Claussen pickles, branston pickle, pickled okra, banana pickles.....the list goes on.

Carrots dipped in Peanut Butter.

I have to really careful with what I eat. I cannot eat very much prepackaged foods. So, no cans of soup, no dried or freeze dried foods, no salad dressings, no cheese, no milk, no bread, very little butter, no peanut butter (:( )... and the list goes tiring-ly on.
But, to compensate for that, I have been given this ability to eat the same foods day and in day out without suffering consequential boredom. Eating out is a challenge. I tend to go to places that make everything from scratch. But to avoid issues I don't go out much. I bring my own food for potlucks. And I love saurkraut with cinnamon; potatoes with soy sauce... and I am sure I will come back with other oddities!! |
Porridge (jumbo oats) made with water, salt, black pepper and butter.
I have a cupboard of hot sauces that I put on everything from toast to mac and cheese. Different sauces complement different foods. Tabasco goes with eggs, although not as well as magyar izek which I can't find anywhere. Bajun hot sauce is particularly good with black pudding and a touch of Jamaican scotch bonnet sauce good in pea and ham soup. :blink: :tea: |

Saurkraut and grated vegan cheese on toasted Pumpernickel. Saurkraut on Baked Beans. Pickled Rad Cabbage with Potatoes and Mayo. I'm not the only one with (con)fusion tastes with Saurkraut! LOL! |
I can be quite the eccentric eater :). Sometimes when I go out to eat or even at someone's home (like a potluck), I find out what there will be to eat, and I bring my own stuff to add to my plate, kind of like "altered food" :D. For instance, I will bring vegetarian bacon in my purse to a meatcentric breakfast or great salad fixins' to add to a blah salad. Sometimes it's about keeping what I'm eating healthy and satisfying or bringing protein to a lack of decent vegetarian options. And sometimes it's just about adding my favorite ingredients to whatever is available :). People look at me weird sometimes but I'm used to that!

i have some weird ways of eating, definitely.. lol. When i eat toast, i eat the crust first..Then i will literally separate that toast by peeling the top layer off of the bottom layer.. i will roll up the top layer, and eat it, and then i will roll up the bottom dry layer, and eat it..always in that order... i am very much a texture girl.. if it's mushy, i can't eat it.. so i never boil veggies , i'll steam them or stir fry em... they have to have a crunch.. When i was growing up, one of my fave things to eat was peanut butter and sugar on bread.. (while i don't eat sugar anymore and MISS it lol) i would still eat this if i could.. sprinkle the sugar on top of the peanut butter, shake the excess off and yum, yum, yum. i have SO many things i can share, so i'll be back lolol. |
comfort food from childhood = peanut butter and pickle sandwich (must be dill pickle and crunchy peanut butter on white bread)
it's a sweet 'n sour combo. delish! |
I am a cook with a toddler's palate, I can cook alot of upscale food that I would never put in my mouth. Give me kraft mac and cheese anyday, and I am a happy camper. I also prefer to eat out of a bowl, no matter what it is.

Bree & You share this love of mac and cheese, from a pot! hehe.. |
Pickles and cheese together.
|
you know we eat stuff, like pickles and cheese, together all the time. but when the two are thought of together, alone ... it's not the same lol. i love pickle and cheese on a hamburger. but i don't want to eat just pickle and cheese! lol oh no! now just pickle and onion, yeah, i like that lol.
|
Nuts.Every kind of nut.More nuts. All day nuts. Everyday... nuts.More nuts with ice-cream lol!
|
Mine is cheese... I love cheese. I love it best to have a bit while drinking hot coffee.
I'm a lime freak also. Salads I use only lime on it. |
I forgot the biggest one..ha
I loveee meat. At an all you can eat place..I only eat meat...lol My sisters get a kick out of it..lol |
I love green olives inside a grilled cheese sandwich. Pickle slices are an ok substitute if olives are not available.
Ketchup on kielbasa, which is practically a mortal sin in my mother's eyes. Frozen organic berries, straight out of the bag and not thawed. I often mix them frozen in a bowl of fat-free vanilla yogurt as an ice cream substitute. Green bananas. I can't eat them once they lose all the green. The more green, the better. |
seafood cooked w. olives garlic capers and anchovies
fresh fruit sushi and salmon or tuna tar tar |

Other than that, there isn't really a lot of food that I actually like. It makes it tough when I go to things like weddings or banquets. I have to hope there's at least one thing that I can stomach. If I could just take a pill that would give me the nutrition that I need and I wouldn't be hungry, that would be good with me. |
I love fresh white bread. I take one or two slices and remove the edges , then take the soft center and squish it all together into a ball and eat it---yum. Yea, I'm really into healthy eating.
|
I'm not sure if it would qualify as "eccentric" but I love to eat raw chili, including some of the strong varieties (i.e. scotch bonnet). However, I found out the hard way not to eat them in the office anymore as, quite simply, I often cannot speak for a minute or so after eating one.
|
I won't eat tomato or tomato flavoured foods. yeeeeuch! Be hence ye flavour of the Devil's gonads!
I won't eat fruit unless it's sour...rhubarb and sour citrus only. Marmite and cream cheese (and hot sauce of course) on toast Haggis, hot English mustard and horseradish Like Ciaran I eat raw chilli...pickled too as a high flavour snack. Can also eat a whole head of garlic...raw. I have no sense of smell and therefore a dulled sense of taste which means I can barely taste garlic. Eating a whole head of garlic is not a good idea if you want to be able to be sociable for the next week. :| I love cheese rinds. I know...go figure! I'm sure I'll be back again... |
I will put a tad of vanilla and a sweetener packet in my milk, which I didn't think was that odd until about 30 seconds ago!
|
Capers !!! I LOVE them .... All kinds of Grilled Cheese Combos.. It's Endless what you can do with Grilled Cheese. I love to cook and throw in all kinds of things. If your going to eat then do it with Style !!!!!!!!! xoxo:bouquet: |
Scrambled eggs with a glob of mustard on top, or jam!!

and to add to my pickle mania..........pickled corn relish that we get from the local farmer's market. And Candied jalepenos. Which are not pickled but close enough. I love them!

I like to put my cold salad on top of food like rice and beans or chicken. If I eat a steak I want my slaw smothered on top. I love this mixed together. My sister can't stand anything touching and rolls her eyes at me.
My favorite snack is really crusty bread and dip it in extra virgin olive oil. I can eat this almost any time of day. |
As a child, I HATED to eat any kind of meat and would happily eat my vegetables instead. Even now, meat is ok, but i'm not a huge fan.
I don't own a single canned food, nor have I ever. I see the economics for people with kids, but i'm one person and HATE the taste of canned anything, especially vegetables. I have no milk or milk products in the house, because i'm severely allergic. When I go to a friend's house or conference, I have to drink coffee black if there is only half and half available. On the rare occasion I eat a breakfast cereal, it's as a dessert, because they are so sweet. I have oatmeal for breakfast, or an egg. I don't drink soda at home, ever and never buy it. If i'm at a restaurant however, I will drink it, cause, why not? I don't eat frozen dinners and I cook for myself just about every day. I'm supposed to emphasize foods that are relatively high in salt, because I have very low blood pressure (inherited condition) but I really don't like or crave salty foods. I don't eat chips and I don't have a salt shaker, for the same reason. |
When I'm stressed I crave pickled Red Cabbage and other Vinegary/Acid foods. I ry to eat Magnesium rich foods like raw Nuts, Seeds, Legumes and Fruits.
|
hogshead cheese on crackers.. yum

Also...I like grapenuts with fruit cocktail and cottage cheese...its like the perfect quick breakfast! |

I cook Quaker Quick Oats, after cooking I add sugar, milk and I take a couple of slices of bread and pull it apart and mix it all together. My grandma used to do that when I was little and I continue to do it today. Also, I like to eat saltine crackers with a slice of sharp cheddar cheese and a slice of red hot sausage (pickled in the red juice) and eat them together.

Yes I can be an eccentric eater, for example:
~ Ice cream with potato chips ~ Bread and cream corn layered together ~ Dipping hotdog weiners in mayonnaise |
