Avoiding doing homework, so I thought I'd throw out a silly question for my flist:

What are your weird food quirks? Any strange combinations? Weird comfort foods?

My strange meal of late has been brown rice and cottage cheese, sometimes combined with scrambled eggs, and usually topped with a sprinkling of Bacos and freshly ground pepper. Not sure why this works for me, but it does.

A few other weird things:

I always have to have honey on Grape Nuts. No regular sugar. And I don't put honey on any other cereals (though it does go well with English muffins.)

Of late, have lost interest in carbonated soft drinks, with the exception of Pellgrino, which is what I order almost every time we go out, if the restaurant has it.

I also love nuts, with one exception: I detest cashews. I'll eat them if they're in a handful of mixed nuts or trail mix, but I don't seek them out. I prefer almonds and hazelnuts instead, and can eat vast quantities of the latter.

I don't like spicy Mexican food or chili, but I love Szechuan, and love slathering egg rolls in Chinese mustard. I also like spicy Indian food. I guess there's just something different about the chiles used in Asian cuisine that works for me when they don't work in fattier foods.

Cream cheese, sunny side up egg, tomato. On a sandwich. <3

Can substitute kim chee for the tomato.

Eff soda. Last November I counted it out and I was drinking 600 extra calories a day. Couple that with lots of Hot Pockets and tater chips and tequila and whiskey and beer... And you've got a perfect recipe for pants that don't fit.

I call these Lent Survival Wraps (I gave up meat. Whoa.):

- Hearts of romaine, baby spinach, croutons, parmesan garlic dressing, sundried tomato basil tortilla.

Pellegrino is the shit but I find that it has to be flavored for me to not think it tastes like poo.

Got a topic for your paper yet? I'm not sure mine is going to work, due to a lack of academic sources. Boo.

i don't eat raw tomatoes, cooked ones that are in large pieces, or tomato juice. i love tomato soup, tomato sauce, salsa, pico de gallo, etc. just not the texture of a raw tomato. i don't know why i think tomato juice is gross when i like the taste otherwise, but there it is.
i love bacon and jelly sandwiches. the jelly must be in the raspberry family.
i find tomato soup with dumplings made out of canned biscuits and velveeta to be incredibly comforting. the tomato soup can be any kind, but it must be the packaged biscuits and velveeta.

I love cashews and would pick them out of a mixture of almonds, hazelnuts and other such types and throw the rest of them away. XD

pudding.

San Pelligrino is my fave! Hope we don't get kidney stones.

I'm not wild about your rice dish. Not enough green in it. Toss in some freeze dried peas or something.

Cheerios.

I mean not in your rice dish, but it's a comfort food of sorts.

So, unfortunately, is a Carl's Jr. Mint Chip shake.

buttered noodles. Comfort food.

I have lotsa wierd food quirks:

* I like onion flavor, but don't like to eat onions.
* I'll eat raw tomatoes, but generally not cooked tomatoes or tomatoe juice or soup.
* I don't like any foods to touch on my plate and will eat one food at a time until it's gone. It is rare that I will mix flavors.
* I chew my ice cream even if there are no mix-ins.
* I don't like to eat mayonaise, miracle whip, mustard, or sour cream.
* The only exception to this rule is mom's jell-o salad, which includes sour cream.
* I only started liking salad dressing as an adult. As a child, I would eat my greens plain and dry. Now, however, the only salad dressing I will eat is Ranch dressing.
* My wierd flavor combo? Apples and cheddar cheese. Don't know if that's so wierd, though.
