food phobias
A few days ago a friend of mine told me something that struck me as so strange - he is afraid to eat baby carrots. Or any kind of "mini" fruit/vegetable. Like those mini bananas? Yeah - he won't even touch them. Stuff like that just totally freaks him out, and I couldn't help but laugh. lol.
My own weird food thing is that I can only eat tomatoes by themselves. If they are cooked in a sauce (pasta) that's ok. I can't eat them on sandwiches or salads though, and definitely not a burger! Ew! I can only eat them sliced up and by themselves.
What are some weird food habits you have or have heard?
Re: food phobias
Not necessarily odd but Spam.
Dh tries to get me to eat it every year (he brings it camping) and it really just makes me gag as I see it sliding out of the can- I just can't go there!
Haha... I can't imagine why! lol.
I have VERY strange food habits. My only "phobia" I would say is eating anything seafood for fear they'll throw in a shrimp on me. I became allergic to shrimp about 5 years ago.
I think raw tomatoes are gross...they have boogers but I will eat cooked/soup/ketchup/sauce. I eat snicker bars from the bottom up...eat all the nougat off the bottom, then the top. Before my cholesterol issue I dipped my fries in mayo vs. ketchup. DH and my SIL can't have any of their food touching where I tend to mix things. Cheese doritos IN a pb&j is yummy. If I'm eating candy like m&ms or the like I separate them by color and eat one color at a time (unless I'm driving). For the longest time I refused to eat red m&ms and still have a slight issue with this. I'll put ranch dressing on almost anything...same goes with garlic salt. My BIL will not eat coco puffs and the bottom of a banana. As a kid DH put cat treats in his coco puffs and he ate it followed by endless throwing up. Also as a kid, one of his cousins told him the bottom of the banana is where the monkeys pooped. He's almost 30 and still won't eat either.
That how my DH and I both are. I will mix mashed potatoes with peas or corn though. My BIL won't eat anything if someone else has touched it - i.e.: he has to get his slice of pizza first, or from the other side where no one has touched.
lol
Tammy...I am cracking up!
DH eats barely nothing...meat, potatoes, corn & peas...that's his diet. He downs M&Ms like they're going out of style (we call them "mi-mi's" - because his gma told me that's what he always called them when he was little). We go through 2 jumbo bags a week!
I eat anything (was vegetarian for a few years before living w/ DH)...I love weird foods (thai, sushi, indian, MEXICAN...mmmmm). But I cannot get myself to even try cottage cheese. I just can't get it even near my mouth. Nope, no thank you. It looks like nothing that should be going into me...

I won't eat things that are both sweet and not sweet. This includes things that sound like they are sweet and not sweet. Some examples:
-carrot cake
-rice pudding
-choco covered pretzels, chips, etc.
-sweet potatoes
If you're still confused, here is my logic: carrots are a veggie and to me, should be salty, not included in cake, which should be sweet.
ETA: I also despise coconut and onions!
I wouldn't really say I have phobias, more like a picky eater.
I do not eat any fish or seafood except for cooked tuna. I do not eat pork. I'm lactose intolerent so I don't eat much dairy. I absolutely can not stand mushrooms, not even the smell of them. I loooooove chocolate! Especially chocolate and pb.

coconut! YUKIE!
also, if i don't like something, it can not be on my plate. oh, that was not fun when i was meeting the ILs for the first time.
also, i am a weirdo when it comes to tomatoes. i like them with anything capri, but hate them on sandwiches, burgers, and burritos, but i like them in tacos. yes, i am a freak!
Oh trust her on this one. I had to put her spinach on my plate and then give her my fork because her fork touched said spinach!
