Weird Eating Habits

[Booldawg]

Whilst waiting for a colleague to finish at the photocopier I noticed (at 8.30) he was eating a cold can of Heinz 'Big Soup' directly from the tin.

Never seen anyone do that before! Any gross/weird eaters you know of?!

My brother used to make mashed potatoes sandwich with tomato ketchup - it just seemed to be wrong to me. I hope that he isn't lurking on AB today.

[ummmm]

My dad used to put the left over veg from Sunday dinner into a sandwich...

[jno]

lol, he'll never show his face on AB again, wolf. I have a friend who eats off her knife, but that's probably not unique.

I think I'd eat a mash potato sandwich. That would work! Not veg from Sunday lunch though.

As a child, I used to eat Frys chocolate cream on bread smothered in bright yellow Golden Emblem New Zealand butter. OMG, just the thought of it now makes my arteries slam shut! !

[ummmm]

I used to eat sugar sandwiches with banana. The thought now is sickening.

Condensed milk sandwiches sprinkled with sugar.

I used to love a banana sandwich as a kid.

A Belgian colleague of mine used to munch back Dijon mustard smeared between sandwich bread.

A Chinese colleague used to sound like a road drill slurping back his soup, to the point that was gross.

I'm on the World Wild Life terrorist list for what's been down my gullet..... following my time in China - 'if it moves they eat it, if it stays still, they build on it.'

Ah yes, sandy. The ultimate childhood treat.

Not to mention bread and dripping sprinkled with salt.

One of the funnies was that I was up in Beijing with my business manager (Canadian Chinese) for that business segment - it had just been announced that I had been promoted to the regional board, so the agent that we were visiting wanted to take us out to lunch to celebrate.

One of the dishes served was sautéed oxen's penis and, yes, it came with a mushroom sauce. It was rather good and I did have more, the Chinese hosts pointing out that this was their viagra for men, oxen's, bear's tiger's and one other that I can't remember being the said sex agent. For women, the equivalent is deep-fried scorpions...... However, I had long since learned to try things once and then one can decide whether it is good/bad or edible/inedible - for example on the latter, turtle and tortoise 'o-rings' do not do it for me - it's a texture thing for the Chinese but, frankly, tastes like cooked rubber.

At one point, I motioned to my business manager that we needed to be going, our wives were waiting for us.

They were actually in Beijing and when we returned to the Palace Hotel, I recounted this to my wife, whose succinct comment was, "I guess it's one of those dishes that grows on you."

Oh yeah, uses to love those to Jd.

why would you sprinkle sugar unto condensed milk - surely the milk is already sickeningly sweet ?

And yes - i've had condensed milk sandwiches in the past

Bazile, to add crunch :)

I would eat/have eaten cold big soup from the can, cold chicken in white sauce and cold tinned curry, the last is a bit oily though.

Dunno I'd have to ask my mom who unfortunately isn't around anymore to ask.

Go to any restaurant/pub at mealtime, and, sooner or later, you will see someone with strange eating habits. I was in a pub yesterday lunchtime, and two young women ordered Yorkshire pudding, with onion gravy, and chips. Chips! with Yorkshire pudding? And, they picked the chips up with their fingers!

If you took a blow torch to it , to add a slight glaze , that would further enhance the crunchiness :-)

I used to collect snails from the hedges for my grandfather when I was a child. He loved them but my grandmother hated cooking them because she said they screamed.

I remember being invited to dinner in rural Alberta.Canada. There was a pink blancmange on the table and I wondered why they had put dessert on the table so soon - . I soon found out it was not dessert but a 'salad' along with another one that contained mini marshmallows -we were having the Alberta staple roast beef and potatoes. It was gross, yet they thought poutine was gross - whats not to love about french fries with grated cheese covered in gravy....ambroisie des dieux ;-)
