What are your Food Quirks??

[Rosefriend]

Everyone has quirks especially when it comes to food....


I always dip bread into bacon fat - well, if I ever get it..

A salad sandwich has to have a dollop of mayo on it..

I prefer eating cake mixture raw than cooked..

Toast has to be warm...

No mayo on chips...ever...

I do not want my chicken, pork or lamb rare....I want it cooked....

Please don't give me bloody liver...

I do not want al dente spaghetti or rice and if I want "crunchy" vegetables I will eat them raw...no matter how healthy they are supposed to be...

I do not want Whole grain pasta or rice - it gives me stomach ache..

I don't want to know how unhealthy things are, E- numbers don't interest me....there have always been worms in fish, salmonella/dioxin in eggs etc....

I don't like chocolate and it doesn't make me "happy", just fat...


So - what are some of your food quirks then??

Toast has to be just out of the toaster and only just slightly brown...hardly off being bread really I guess.
Mayo with chips.
It's got to be real butter.

[Ladygardener]

It always has to be butter.
My knife and fork absolutely have to match.
Tea has to be drunk in a china cup.

[carolann]

Yep its real butter for me also but when it comes to cooking veggies thats where I have a problem with the family, myself, daughter and No1 son like them with a bit of crunch while OH and FIL like them soggy cause thats the way MIL always cooked everything. Its Steak tonight so 1 will be Rare to Medium, 1 Medium and 2 cremated and I will have Belly Pork with a Honey topping roasted in the oven.
Tea in a China cup is a must.
Toast piping hot from the toaster.

[Jasmine]

I forgot that one - tea from a thin china mug!...and never from those smoked glass mugs!

[Missredhead]

I like my toast cold with Lurpack

mayo with chips

meat must be cooked not bloody at all

veggies not hard but not soggy..somewhere inbetween

Sausages must be almost burnt, bacon crispy, and fried, poached or scrambled eggs must not be snotty!!

Tea can be served in either a cup or a mug just so long as it isnt milky.

Cant think of any others..... ;D

...or have stringy bits left in
I love milky tea - one of the TAs at school calls my tea 'baby tea'.

[Missredhead]

dishwater....

[Jasmine]

I think I prefer 'baby tea' ;D

[Geranium]

Toast must be thick - and almost burnt,
Bacon must be crisp
Fried onions have to be black (!)
Sausages almost the same,
Allergic to coconut, so I can smell it a mile off in anything!
Can't bear perfumed tea!
Coffee is ground, drunk from a bone-china mug
Prefer lots of fruit to veggies.
Prefer meat to fish
Won't touch any shellfish
Milk chocolate, not dark.

Am I fussy? Very probably.

[JennyWrenn]

Tea HAS to be in china cup and very strong - no sugar and smell of tea not perfume i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/angry.gif

Coffee same but in cup not bothered if not china
but has to be Instant - hate caffetiere (sp), etc etc

Like burnt sossidges and crispy bacon not soggy
Would eat fried bread all day if I could but dont

Prefer brown bread to white

Hate all fishy fish including all shellfish - HATE PRAWNS and any fish that is looking at you with eyes still on

Wont eat veal

Not fussy really

[isabella]

I drink warm water rather than cold.
Don't drink tea or coffee but like hot choc occasionally - proper china mug.
Cold toast- preferably seedy bread and butter!Margarine -yuk!
Mayo with chips
Well cooked meat
Burnt sausages
Only fish I will eat - salmon ,haddock or cod
Can't bear shellfish!
Favourite sandwich - Bacon,tomato and avocado
Don't eat Lamb,Duck or Goose
Not that fussy am I

[Tig]

Hate wishy washy cheese, preferred is Colliers Extra Strong Cheddar
Heinz tomato soup, no other can match it
Hate 'bloody' meat, always well cooked. Love shellfish, especially scampi & scallops. Hate to find any bones in my fish
Chip butties, no sauces just plenty of lurpak, always butter, hate substitutes
We have a trend on the crispy bacon & burnt sossidges ;D also like my toast burnt, with lots of cold lurpak
Tea black, in a proper cup & saucer. Do like herbal teas but in a mug.
Hovis wholemeal or wholewheat bread (don't like other 'makes')
Eggs must be 'dippy' but not sloppy.
Prefer crisps to chocklit, but do prefer dark chocklit to milk (especially rum & raisin)
Like 'hard' ice cream rather than the sloppy swirly stuff that you get from vans and some parlours. Cornet with a flake in is bestest, and a bit of raspberry sauce swirled on top.
Vegetables should be eaten raw only when cold. Don't like crunchy cooked vegetables, but don't want them mushy either.
And I like marmite

OH isn't fussy at all, he just eats/drinks whatever is put in front of him, or whatever he can raid from the fridge or pantry.

I love Marmite as well - always get someone to send me some from the UK.

I hate shellfish of any description although I have tried everything that I say that I don't like...

I have eaten frogs legs, snake, ostrich, shark, venison, wild boar/sow/piglet and possibly a lot of things that I have forgotten...

Although it took me around 10 years to eat the raw smoked schinken (bacon) here , I rather like it now - I still haven't got used to the raw mince....tried it once and once was enough for me.

[Missredhead]

Just the look of it was enough to make me feel RF....

I always eat the square end of toast or a sandwich before I eat the rounded end and I eat the top of a hot cross bun before the bottom.

[Barbara]

I buy tea cakes for toasting for a change for brekkie some times and I eat the tops first, I'll eat the bottoms if I have to.

[Missredhead]

I always eat the square end first too cos I like to save the rounded end cos thats my favourite bit...I eat the bottoms of rolls and hot X buns first ;D

I dont like fresh salmon either but do like it tinned.

[Geranium]

Now here's a weird one for you!

I like marmite on toast with a topping of shredless Robertson's marmalade on it!
