Do you have any strange likes/dislikes when it comes to food?

I know people who can't eat tomatoes, but love tomato sauce.

I know people who don't drink a drop of their drink until AFTER they finish their meal.

I know people who need separate plates for their "wet" and "dry" parts of the dish.

Personally...I like the "taste" that onions bring to a meal, but if I bite into a piece of onion it makes me gag.

Waht about you???

Like the seasoning of bell peppers in food and can eat them in tiny pieces mixed up in food, but never a mouthful of them.

Usually only like most fruit at a certain firmness and get grossed out by it if it feels too soft, and won't eat them.

Have major issued with mushy food in general, texture over taste a lot of the time, ie. whipped mashed potatoes :gag:

Love popcorn, love sweets, hate kettlecorn.

OMG...you just reminded me -

I cannot bite into a piece of green or red bell peppers.

But YELLOW bell peppers (on a grill) are like candy.

I have issues with textures...

- Eggs have to be cooked to death- if I detect the slightest sliminess, I can't eat them.

- Mushrooms & peas... have a strange texture

- Clams, oysters, mussels... Ugh!

- Coconuts:

Then I have a crazy list of food allergies.

Fresh coconut meat is definitely on the "slimy" side of things...but the dried coconut flakes that we're used to here in the USA is a different animal.

As for eggs - I don't like omelettes or "fluffy" scrambled eggs. I like my eggs fried.

What about you???

This. I can't stand to have some kind of food touching my bread or cornbread and make it soggy. Disgusting. If it does happen, I just tear that soggy piece off and then eat. I usually don't like foods that come with juices (yams, green beans, etc.) to touch other foods (mashed potatoes, potato salad, fruit, etc.) and prefer the plates with the separate components.

I have to be a in certain mood to eat pickles or relish on a cheeseburger or hot dog.

Unless I'm so hungry that I can eat anything I get my hands on, I don't eat tomatoes because it will flare up acid reflux...something I didn't start suffering with until I had my tonsils removed 5 years ago. In a way, this is a good thing, since it made me reduce eating so much fast food and fried foods...all of which can trigger acid reflux.

I always have to eat my eggs fried hard...there can't be any kind of soupiness going on with them or else I WON'T eat them.

I only like the end pieces of whole wheat bread. I wish they'd make an entire loaf of just end pieces.

I love all things 'tomato'...sauce, green, red, fried, chopped, whatever. I like my eggs runny...

Not allergic to any food and I love raw oysters...

I eat refried beans cold out of the can.

I eat raw mushrooms out of the carton with the peat moss still on them.

oh lawd, purplejedi.

If you wanted to ask me out to dinner, you could have just orgnoted me about what I like and don't like to eat, instead of this embarassing and public charade.

You men are all the same.

OK, here's only a couple OF MANY:

I can't eat scrambled eggs near the smell of fragrant fruit, especially cantelope. I'll get ill.

I also tend to rip the edges off my sandwhiches while eating them, and something I'll just

rip the sandwhich into tiny bite size bits---it startes to resumble turkey stuffing more than

a sandwhich by the time I'm done.

So you don't eat scrambled eggs at all.

I don't have any weird ones but I used to like sprikling sugar on the cheese slices you buy at the store as a kid. I try to avoid all onions and garlic because they irritate my bowels too much, that and spicy foods because they do the same. I need to go on a diet.

No.

Me too.

I know people who drink all day long.

I know people who need separate glasses for their "wet" and "dry" martinis.
They're the same people I mentioned in my answer to the previous query.

Oh.

Waht about you???

No. I'm normal.

I can't stand the smell of syrup after eating pancakes, waffles or whatever, I find it very irritating. Before eating them no problem.

You're on the Org buddy...your existence ceased to be normal.

I absolutely cannot eat oatmeal or any type of melon. I've tried; but, it just ain't happenin'. I can't even look at the picture on the oatmeal box without dry heaving - even when I'm in the supermarket and I look at the boxes of oatmeal I start dry heaving. What's weird is that I love grits which don't look that much different from oatmeal but they don't taste like vomit so maybe that's why. Yep, I think oatmeal tastes like barf and I think all melons have a rancid beer after taste that I just can't do. I tell people this and they look at me like I'm crazy. 'Rancid beer aftertaste? Girl, what the hell are you talking about?' That's the response they give me. I hate the whole melon family...watermelon, honeydew, hell I can't even look at a cantaloupe without dry heaving (what an ugly fruit that one is). If I do really awful things in this life and end up in Hades, all I will have to eat there is oatmeal and melons...that's it. That's why I try to live an upstanding existence...I know it's sad that that's my motivation for trying to avoid hell but hey we all gotta start with something.

So what you're saying is that if I'm at the supermarket and I hear some chick dry heaving all over the godammned place...I should walk over and say 'hi'?!?

Yeah, pretty much. I was dry heaving while typing about the oatmeal just now. I have a problem.

I'm just a weird food person all around really.

If I eat breakfast, I don't have to eat for the whole day...doesn't matter where the breakfast is from. If I go to a restaurant and order breakfast, I'm picky as hell with ever single component...every other meal, I don't care about; it's just breakfast. I think that's because the only meal my mom every really cooked was breakfast..and she'd often cook breakfast at night so maybe that's why I can eat it at anytime of the day and be full after I'm done.

When I do drink soda, I only like Coke-Cola in a can...the plastic makes it taste funny.

I hate when my food is touching and anytime someone tells me, 'Well it's all going to the same place.' I always respond with, 'Well I don't have to see it touching in there so I don't care.'

I can't eat raisins in anything. I can eat boxes of raisins but once you put them into cookies or whatever other dish, I can't eat them. It's the major differences in the textures and tastes...it's too extreme for me.

I hate tomatoes but love ketchup and pasta sauce and I especially hate tomatoes on hamburgers and sandwiches. Pickles too but I can eat a whole jar of pickles...only dill though because I don't like Koesher or those disgusting Bread and Butter ones ewww.

I can't eat ice cream or candy bars after they have melted and been put in the fridge to solidify again...I just can't eat melted ice cream period and once a milkshake gets warm, I'm done with it so I drink it really fast because I don't want to throw it away.

I don't like cold Tuna Salad or Potato Salad...It has to be room temperature or I won't eat it. Which I'm told is very bad because of the mayo but I like it room temperature...sometimes even warmed like Tuna melts with mustard.

I don't like to drink anything until I'm completely done eating...yeah, I'm one of those people.

I can only drink my dad's Sweet Iced Tea because he puts time and into making it...2 days of the tea bags sitting in the water. I'm a super picky Sweet Iced Tea drinker because of him.

I love to dissect my candy bars and look at the diffent componets before I eat them separately.

*estelle re-reads list*

Yeah, I'm not that bad

[Edited 9/3/12 22:14pm]

I can't eggs of any kind. I can't the smell of them, the look, the taste, the color, i swear i can taste it if its cake sometimes.

speaking of cake, i hate frosting, i can only the bread part of the cake.

i hate mushy foods. i like chewy foods with like hard textures. I gag when i have mushy foods, etc jello, etc.

I'm not a fan of garlic and I hate the smell and taste of most fish, and no PJ when I say fish, I don't mean pussy,

I mean fish, I have never gone down on any woman who tasted or smelled like fish...dunno about you

Over the years I've never been fond of coffee, hot chocolate, soft cheeses, whipped cream, melted cheese etc, all of which I realise I've been avoiding because even though I didn't know I was super lactose intolerant, I must have understood didn't make me feel good (took forever for me to put 2+2 together, I thought it was wheat all this time )

Aside from those, seafood in shells and with legs. Offal. Chicken (unless I prepare it myself - which I did tonight and it was AMAZING )

I have texture issues and smell issues. I cannot eggs of any kind!

I really like surimi.

I do.

I would actually rather eat a deep fried crispy moth than a mussel
