What Are Common Unusual Eating Habits and Why They Matter

Unusual eating habits vary widely and can be influenced by personal preferences, cultural factors, or sensory sensitivities. Some people eat foods in specific patterns, avoid mixing flavors, or dislike certain textures. Understanding these habits helps improve dietary choices and respects individual differences. If you have unique eating patterns, they are often shaped by taste preferences or past experiences.

This was inspired by what i read in chem's scent thread. I also read that aquas have strange eating habits. What are yours? Maybe u eat your soup with a fork, i dont know, tell us...Well i eat everything in a pattern- 1st i sample everything in tiny bits, the least favorite goes 1st in gulps. I hate gravy or any liquid on my food. Cereal is eaten with milk on the side. I also hate many flavors/tastes in 1 dish, if its spicy, it must taste spicy- no meaty dishes with apples or any other crap like that. I once ate mince with raisins and i almost strangled my friend for it, lol. Please share your crazy..

Out of order eating. Sometimes I feel like eating main dish-type things first before having soup or a salad, but maybe that's because I'll eat and then decide that I'm still hungry. I also like looking at magazines from back to front, so who knows what that's about.

Or, when I am playing both the roles of kitchen staff and diner (i.e. eating at home), I will make one part of the meal, eat it, then make another part, eat that, and so on. Only sometimes though. And if it's a meal for more than just myself, of course I'll do things the normal way.

You know, I like that show "Chopped." And I will tell everyone my Chopped strategy.

Appetizer course: Shake.
Main Dish: Stew.
Dessert: Pie.

Whatever the secret ingredients are, just make a shake, a stew, and a pie. Pie and shake are actually interchangeable, come to think of it, so that's where you can decide and put your own spin on it.

i dont like dressing on my salads. i just eat the veggies. normally people sit in front of a movie eating popcorn or chips. i like to each baby carrots. i love baby carrots. I drink all of the liquid out of my soup then eat the rest. I do that with cereal too, I drink the milk first.

Oh no I'm hardly slim. I have always had this lust for vegetables though. for some reason. my mom never had a problem with me eating mine i love them. But no I'm not a vegetarian. I tried but im anemic so I cant. I tried different veggie diets and they didnt work. also i have certain food allergies that prevent it. but i try to eat healthy.

I'm not sure I'd do that well in an eating contest! If it wasn't timed, then yes, because I don't eat overly large portions at one time but that's why I can eat something even if it's only been a couple hours since the last time I ate. I'm a good meal companion -- I can be called upon at any time during the day, and I'll go eat!

How can you not like soup?! I had this really good soup once at a vegetarian place that has since closed down and I miss this soup with all my heart. It was a cold cucumber, yogurt, and jalapeno soup. So good! Don't nobody say nothin' bad 'bout my soup.

sporklifter, u and me would make bestfriends, i have jupiter square ascendant which means i live to eat, lol. I dont get anorexics at all, food rocks. The soup thing is in the mind, even the name 'soup' makes me gag. I tried all kinds, but its still soup, maybe it would go down if it were called puos instead. Ha, i just cant do it

not as weird as what i've heard on the radio the other day. Some lady created an online business to order chocolates made from breast milk. She's a Brit. I found that extremely bizzare. YUCK

I won't eat a sandwich unless i have potato chips to go with it.

I won't touch anything that's had even a sliver of mushroom near it.

I loathe blue vein cheese.

I like gravy, thick and rich, smothered over hot chips with garlic salt.

I don't like much more than a desert spoon of peas - they're a pointless food, really.

My cheese on toast better be burnt and for the love of God, don't give me bacon unless it's burned to within an inch of it's existence!

"Abi Blake is really into cooking with her breast-milk. Says the Sun, "The stay-at-home mum has held several dinner parties, often serving lasagne or pasta made using breast milk for the cream sauce. Her speciality is vanilla breast milk cheesecake." She's also invited firends to tea and served a whole spread of creamy delights, only to reveal afterwards that they'd been suckling at the teat, as it were. Nowadays, she's more about full-disclosure, selling her baked goods at local festivals. Her repertoire also includes "breast milk chocolate bars," "breast milk smoothies" and "breast-milk fudge." As one website, "Land of Milk and Honey," reminds us, "breastmilk can readily be substituted for anything that calls for milk: Creamer for coffee or tea (iced or hot), scrambled eggs, instant hot chocolate made with breastmilk instead of water (don't forget the marshmallows!), good ole mac n cheese, cheesecake, what about fudge and eggnog during the holidays?""

ewww, why. I mean it cant last that long...can it? I dont have kids. Doesnt it eventually dry up or something? what she gonna do recruit replacements? 😢

You can continue to nurse for years. What I'd like to know is what army of women has she enlisted to cull enough milk to make baked goods and chocolates with? A woman doesn't give 8 gallons per day like a Guernsey.

she claims to pump and freeze most of it. And business seems to be doing good, lol. And she is forced by their law to take std tests for the sake of her customers. Eww @ smoothies and at it all.

LOL I applaud her dedication to her ..erm..craft. She must have jet engines in her breast milk pump. Perhaps if she joined forces with the fellow that did the semen cookbook. One source could renew the other whenever she needed 'freshened'.

eww, what did he make with the semen? Jelly babies? Which also reminded me of that guy who made paintings with his dick and balls. They sold for a lot of cash. Talented dome, lol

do u guys know of any weird or disgusting dishes that ppl eat? Here we eat chicken feet, chicken intestines, cow n sheep heads n trotters and their intestines. In the northern parts of south africa, they eat whats called mopani worms (black and yellow worms found in certain trees). Sum stores even sell them packaged, lol. I've seen small eyed ppl (chinese etc) eat rats, dogs, cockroaches- all made in asian restaurants. It seems as if humans would eat just about anything

lol @ pig ear eaters, do they all have the surname Tyson by any chance? Here i never heard of ppl eating pig intestines, but they sound better compared to cow/sheep brain or their eyeballs that sum eat. I eat chicken feet and chicken intestines and trotters, yum. Cow ones smell too bad, i just cant do it. I now live in the northern parts of my country, but i will never be tempted to sample their worms, thats just too much

idk if this is too weird, but i hate getting my hands dirty. like w/ seafood, i cant peel shrimp & eat... peel shrimp & eat, etc. Or crack crab legs and eat as im deconstructing the whole thing piece by piece. no, i have to get rid of EVERYTHING all at once (all the shells), set the meat aside, then i wash my hands, and then i can eat. if it's shrimp ill even use paper towels to take off the shell. if im at a restaurant and we're eating seafood, im the last to finish b/c i spent the whole time cracking and peeling stuff.

same thing w/ poultry. if it has bones (like ribs or chicken legs etc) ill use utensils to take the meat off so i dont have to pick it up and get my hands dirty and greasy. idk it's just the idea of my hands being dirty and food stuck underneath my nails just urks me idk y. i can't do it! lol. wen i eat, i just don't like it to be messy and i need to use utensils and eat neatly. it's more of a pleasant experience i ges. however, little chicken wings are ok becuz u cant eat them n e other way, but only small foods like that which aren't really meal-type foods then its okay to use my hands.

also i cant have any bones or shells on my plate. i have to throw them away or put them on a separate plate than the one im eating from. sorry long input, but yeah i think thats it lol 🙂
