What's an eating habit that you find reasonable but others find peculiar?

Most of my foods can’t touch each other. Dry foods can touch, but wet foods can’t.

I like to eat pretty much any food with my hands. I try not to do it much in public, but I’ve gotten looks.

I eat the cooked flesh of animals.

When in England, it’s how to hold a fork and knife.

I like to cut-off the top of the cupcake and just eat that small portion of cupcake with the frosting with a fork (because it’s too weird otherwise). My friend pointed out it was weird.

Also, I only started eating mussels a few years ago and ate them almost exclusively at home where my husband taught me to eat them with my hands. When I ordered them in a restaurant, I ate them this way, not noticing the cute little fork they had brought me. I got some looks.

I like to cut a small round hole in one end of an orange and suck out the juice while squeezing the orange. Then I rip the orange into sections and eat the flesh.

Some people cannot even conceptualize the idea of being a vegetarian, which I am.

Vegetarianism.

Eating the arse end of a cow is a square meal.

I am right handed and I hold the fork in my right hand, at all times.
And frankly, I find rules and conventions regarding what utensil goes in which hand, how you are supposed to hold them, or where to place idle hands, completely retarded.

Your description of the cake arrangement is intriguing. It sounds like you’re converting the the dessert into a layer cake. The more or less icing things I find baffling.

@ragingloli If that comment was remotely in response to my post, I don’t change how I hold utensils either. I’ve tried doing it the British way, just to see if it was more practical. It probably is, but I’m not bothered about attempting to change. And no one has said anything about the way I use a knife and fork, but I’m willing to bet that some may find it peculiar.

@ibstubro That is a totally weird way to eat cake, man. Totally practical, too.

I’m in the foods can’t touch each other camp. For example if I have a chicken breast on the same plate as baked potato. If any potato touches the chicken I cut off the contaminated part of the chicken and give it to the cat or dog. I know it is stupid and irrational. But I also don’t know what eggs taste like. I just know that I don’t like eggs so I don’t eat them unless they are in something like a cake.

Ketchup on scrambled eggs.

I peel the frosting off cake and cupcakes so I can just eat the cake part.

A-HEM. @BellaB
The correct method is to cut the cake in ½ (longways), put the bottom ½ on top, and eat a frosting sandwich.

@ibstubro : would you like my extra icing? Untouched by human hands – I used chopsticks to peel the icing off.

No, I’m good, @BellaB. Not a frosting fiend. I prefer not to have to have direct contact between my mouth and the frosting. Cake buffer.

You could put it in the middle with the other icing you’ve got.<nods> that should work nicely.

I’‘ll leave it over there on the wax paper.

I don’t crave the side pieces of sheet cake that have double the icing.
We’ll leave it for Mikey. Contrary to popular belief, he’ll eat anything.
