how_do_you_eat trixie I eat so much differently when I am alone than when I am with someone. I noticed this year that when I was alone in my apartment I would rapidly scarf the food like no other and get it all over my face (well not really) and that it was so satisfying when I was done. The food didn't really taste any better but when I was done I was done. I've met people who are really compulsive eaters and can't have the peas touching, or even looking at the potatoes. The food must stay in their separate quadrants or else... And my childhood neighbor would eat her corn "dentist style." This is holding the cob sideways and picking off each kernal individually as a denstist would pull a tooth. This would undoubtedly take us much longer to finish and we would never get the full corn on the cob experience. Nonetheless, it was still strangely satisfying although her parents wouldn't be pleased. I also salt almost everything and I worry that people notice. 030429 ... jane i do the quadrant thing 030430 ... angie i dont like things to touch eacother i try to save my favorite things for last i like sugar a lot if things are supposed to be hot, i like them hot and if things are supposed to be cold i like them cold. the only kinda weird eating habit i can think of is that i like nacho cheese doritos with peanut butter tehee 030501 ... Dafremen I used to be a quadrant type of eater. I've slowly learned to appreciate how much easier the peas are to keep on your fork if you mix them with the potatoes. Before I would finish each item before I went on to the next. I also wolf my food down quickly. (A habit I picked up in my early chilhood. See also: PIECE_OF_WORK) In the orphanage, whoever finished their first helpings could have seconds and thirds and so on. I was always the kid who managed a fourth helping. My hot food has to be scorching hot when I get it, but then I have to let it cool down before I eat it. I won't eat it if it comes to me at the right temperature, because that's the wrong temperature. Hot first, then it cools off. 030501 ... MOAI my mouth is made of stone and i have tiny arms. i eat with my penis 030501 ... Rotten77 my friend thinx i'm weird cuz when i have a plate full of food i completely eat one thing before moving on to the next. i'm getting better about it though, sometimes i'll dip into something else before i finish the first stuff. 030501 ... jane i also used to do daffy's thing with eating one thing completely before moving on to the next but not anymore 030507 ... Rowbes Too fast. Eating is a bit of a bother. If my stomach had a little window I could shove food in I wouldn't bother eating at all. was here. 030507 ... stork daddy sometimes i forget 030507 ... girl_jane I also do the eating one dish entirely before I move on to the next. If all the food is sitting on the table-not already on my plate, I won't even dish out what I want until I'm done eating the first thing. I can't let food touch other food either. I have to get multiple plates at a buffet for this reason. I also eat pretty slowly. I see no reason to rush things like that. I use very few extras-like ketchup, salt and pepper, or other things. Food is prepared to taste a certain way, and I like it that way. I like to eat without making a lot of silverware-to-plate noise and without a lot of chomping, slurping, and smacking noises. And unless I have a cold, I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS chew with my mouth closed. 030510 ... pobodys nerfect It doesen't bother me if the different things are touching each other. I'll take a bite of one thing, and then something else in the next bite. I think I sort of over-chew my food. When I was little I almost choked to death on a piece of turnip at my grandmas place,so I was careful to chew my food REALLY good after that. Now it's sort of a bad habit. :/ I have strange ways of eating some things though. Like whenever I eat SKOR candy bars,I lick off all the chocolate first while trying to keep the toffee part in one piece. When I eat a COFFEE CRISP bar it's always by layer(top to bottom). Olives are always eaten by sucking out the pimento part first... You know those tiny microwave pizzas? I'll cook two together and (after throwing away the pepperoni)scrape all the toppings onto one pizza and eat the other one plain. Hmm..*thinks* Oh yeah, and I like to eat ice cream cones without ice cream in them(even the ones that taste like cardboard). I can't believe I'm telling you people this... 030510 ... trixie i always have to put extra cinnamon on my chai tea. I like to eat soup with a really big spoon and in one of those large mug/cup deals like the one's they have on Friends. Macaroni with extra cheese because I want to have really really think legs. I also fold my pizza half way. All the new yorkers fold it all the way but to me it defeats the purpose of eating pizza in the first place... why don't you just eat a sandwich? my dad eats mounds on mounds of fat free chocolate ice cream, every night, just fucking TONS. It's like... why are you eating so much ice cream? it's really an addiction for him. I think it's gross. If you are eating so much of the fat free why don't you just eat the regular? you're putting the same amount of crap and chemicals into your body. 030523 ... lo one bite at a time? 030524 ... sixteen I try not to. when I do, everything gets mixed together (well, a lot of things anyway) and I am intensely paranoid about looking gross when I eat...so I eat fairly carefully and constantly wipe my mouth with the napkin. 030524 ... The Spork With whatever sharp objects I can find. 030525 ... ellnora none 031107 ... misstree in as much a barbarian fashion as i can without being stared at. 031107 ... d I can't finish everything on my plate, ever. Even if I'm hungry. I love grilled cheese and tomato sandwiches, but I always have to leave one corner of the bread rind behind. It's so wasteful, but I can't help it. I'm also obsessed with candy and ice cream despite being almost 21 and having had at least 9 cavities filled in the past 5 years. 040311 ... dudeinanigloo I put the food on the spoon, open my mouth, put the spoon in my mouth, close my mouth, pull the spoon out, chew the food, and then swallow the food. 040528 ... ethereal better than andy...that's for sure. 040528 ... notme with chopsticks 040528 what's it to you? who go blather from
