Kerryn WoodDestruct Button goes off on food 'norms'
May 20th 2007 05:20
Ahhhh the strange things people do with and to their food! Sitting around with a group of friends recently, alcohol aiding the breaking down of inhibitions - we entered into a discussion about the apparent weird, strange and freaky things we do with our food.
However, seems we weren't as weird as we all thought - when it comes to things we do with our food. Therefore, I am pressing the DESTRUCT BUTTON today on so-called food 'norms', and advocating the following eating habits as typical and common....
Milo - I get 3 to 4 heaped teaspoons of Milo and mix it into a paste with a little milk, top up the class with milk and then 'eat' my Milo drink.....oh, have to put another tsp of Milo on top..
Mars Bars - I eat the chocolate from the side, then the nougat leaving the choc and caramel till last, then lick and melt and suck at that.....
…anything between two lumps of bread HAS to be placed just right, hamburger for example, sauce must be on the bottom of the roll with meat next then bacon cheese and egg, pepper on the egg, salad next then mayo. I hate when people put the sauce on the egg or even worse mixed with the mayo!
My tiny teddy biscuit eating ritual:
I bite the arms and legs off first
then their ears
finally their little heads or bodies
Caramello Koala’s - bite off head, suck out gooey insides - the challenge is to not let the body collapse…
I have my muesli with juice instead of milk
Potato Chips - I like to suck the flavour off the chip first then eat it
Hot chips - I bit off one end then I bite down on the chip without biting through and pull on it and eat the middle fluffy bit. Then I eat the rest of the chip.
I remember in primary school my pie eating skills were deplorable!!
1) pour tomato sauce on lid of pie
2) peel lid off and place pie down beside self
3) eat lid
4) eat meat from pie dipping in finger using for a spoon
5) lick meat clean from pie pastry
6) eat pie pastry
I eat strawberry quick on toast!!!
My brother eats vegemite and jam sandwiches …
I like chicken chips with bbq sauce sandwiches, yum…
I love to dip chicken flavoured chips into a meat pie…
I always play 'guess what colour it is?' with Clinkers lollies…
My 15 yr old son opens cans of stuff from the cupboard like baked beans, soup, chopped tomatoes etc then blends them all in the food processor and heats it up in the microwave ...
I find myself using my fork to make intricate patterns on my plate with my rice and peas.
I still try to separate round biscuits without breaking the icing...I lick the icing down to nothingness and I nibble around the edges until the biscuit becomes a smaller and smaller circle. I still bite the end of ice cream cones and suck the ice cream through. I suck condensed milk out of the tube. I do that Milo thing where it is so full of Milo you have to eat it with a spoon..
I eat cheese with Plum Jam..
Tim Tams with port 'round the campfire.....mmmmmm
there were sooo many more variations on similar themes....what about you? Got any weirdo freaky food habits you want to commit to the list and press the button on???
