After a little squaking and fidgeting they go down alright.

Don't have too much on the weird eating of normal foods... But I love fried or sauted squid and octopus, And I can eat buckets of Crawfish, which does get me looks as I am a yankee and not even closely related to any cajun.

My weird thing is not liking egg whites. Never have.

One of my favourite things is a friend egg sammich, but I have to meticulously cut off the whites to just have yolks with salt and pepper.

It's not about the taste of it, rather the texture, which immediately makes me feel very sick.

Funny enough I can and do eat scrambled eggs or anything with egg white as an ingredient, but egg white it's self disgusts me.

I eat raw red onions. Occasionally I cut them up and dip them in a Sriracha/Dijon mix, but normally I eat them plain.

I don't like lobster, crab, or any cut of beef that isn't standing rib roast.

Well I'm from Middlesbrough - Boro food is known for being disgusting, even by British standards!

Our local delicacies consist of:

The Parmo

Basically a large chicken fillet deep-fried in breadcrumbs, covered in a layer of bechamel sauce, then covered in another layer of melted cheese. It's usually served with a token salad and another Boro favourite, Chips and Garlic. That's just chips smothered in a garlic mayonaise-y sort of sauce. Beautiful. I could go for a Parmo right now.

Most pizza shops in Middlesbrough also do a 'London Pizza' (feth knows why it's called that, you can't get them in London) - basic Marguerita pizza covered in the aforementioned chips and garlic. Smashing, and highy calorific.

We smoggies also batter everything - sausages, burgers, spam fritters...


Apart from that, nothing weird apart from the fact that I can only eat cheese if it's melted, eggs if they're scrambled - and I NEVER eat seafood. Ever.


Ugh.

You just eat the baby bird.. Nice!


As for me, if you want me to shut up, give me a big bag of battered and fried squid rings. I looove seafood. And meat.

I can hardly eat any veggies though, most of the textures make me gag.

Them are great.. as long as they are not cooked to the consistancy of rubberbands.

Well...I was born and raised in New Orleans,and of course we eat anything that dosen't eat us first.

Snake,Aligator,HogsHead cheese,every thing pulled from the Gulf and moutains of Crawfish are standard fair.

However,I do have one little meal that I enjoy that gets bizzare looks from even my most Cajun/Creole friends and family.

Chopped spinach,mixed with Mayo and hot sauce and eaten on Honey wheat toast.

It is fething delicious.

I used to drink those little bottles of lemon/lime juice you got at the supermarket like it was a shot.

That is slightly OCD, or is it autistics that have tendency do that?

wouldn't say I've eaten anything too much weirder than a starving bachelor.

Ah the good old days of student life.
Students spend all their funds on booze leaving none for food.
When the last cornflake has gone and the Marmite jar yields no more to the frantic tonguing, desperate and starving they fall upon each other in a cannibalistic frenzy.

Now if it had been like that in the Big Brother Hoose for the last ten years, I woulda watched!

Dae naynteen in tha Beg Brotha hoose, and Celeene as just teekan a wompin graeet chunk oot of Reemond's buttacks!
(Apologies for the poor Geordie accent)

Ah yes, brevelled ketchup sarnies made with tesco value bread, Mad Dog 20/20 and amphetamine sulphide, diet of students everywhere in my youth.

Frey Bentos Pie pastry Crunchy on top yet soft and soggy on the bottom, better than the 'named meat' filling.

This is me also, although I can just about cope with the white of the egg as long as it's in a breakfast bap with lots of sauce. Which has just reminded me of another strange combo I like. A fried edd and sausage bap with a mixture of mint and chilli sauce. I discovered it by accident when I picked up the wrong bottles of sauce whilst suffering from the mother of all hangovers. Trust me it tastes amazing

II have to eat my food in regimented order. There's a specific order depending what I'm eating and I have to finish one before I touch the next. Also no mixing of any of the elements of the meal. I cannot stand when the juices of a steak touch the mashed potatoes.
------
I do eat one thing at a time usually, though it isn't in a specific order. And I don't like it when things touch either. I've gotten better about some elements mixing as I've aged, but sometimes it bugs me and I'll have to wipe stuff off.

My favorite weird food is potato chips with melted cheese on them. sometimes i'll cut up a hot dog or some ham or turkey lunch meat and put it on top too.

When you say chips you mean crisps Lorena!
Crisps:


Chips:




That is a bit like nachos with melted cheese which is making me feel peckish

Peanut butter and pickles. Yep. Try it on a saltine cracker

Battered Mars Bars. They're one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten.

Nothing weird about that Reg, in Scotland anyway.

Do you wash it down with a deep fried pizza and can of Iron Bru?

Thats OCD.. My uncle is like that too...

Hmm Mustard Sardines on toast points.... Roomies hate to watch when I eat them, and one can't stomach the smell.
