The chicken and dumpling thread has gone off in a direction that I think deserves a thread of its own:

Do you have a weird food quirk? I have a couple. I can't stand having anyone take a swig out of my drink. Doesn't matter if it's a glass, a bottle, a can - with a straw or without - I wind up throwing the rest out. BUT...I don't mind taking a drink out of someone else's drink.

Eggshells, very small (fish)bones, crabshells - anything like that in my food and I'm done. :barf:

I wind up throwing the rest out. BUT...I don't mind taking a drink out of someone else's drink.

Something, clearly, is wrong with you. Describe your beatings growing up. I'm on a quest.

:popcorn:

I won't eat a horse that hasn't had a naked woman inside the carcass

:yeahthat: I just ruins my meal.

I won't eat a horse that hasn't had a naked woman inside the carcass

:lol:

Meat fat, like on the edge of a steak or gristel. If I chew it just once my meal is ruined cause I feel sick :barf:. The giant says what's odd about it is that I'll eat bacon and fatback. I think it's the texture though.

I have to take out that white thing that's attached to the egg yolk, about 40 years ago my sister told me it was rooster sperm and I've never gotten past it.

The Oregon "Happy Meal"? Why not?

:killingme I have to do the same thing when I'm baking:killingme

But only because I just don't know WHAT THE H**L that nasty looking thing is!

:killingme:killingme...You will eat a chicken fetus but not rooster sperm....The fetus is just developed rooster sperm...:killingme
Kind of turns me off eggs...

Larry Gude has this same phobia. You should see him dissect a steak - not just the fat/gristle at the edge, but any marbling throughout gets surgically removed.

Stop worrying about rooster sperm LOL

"In a fresh egg, we can see white cords attached to the yolk sac. These two cords, called chalazae, are made of twisted strands of mucin fibers that are a special form of protein. The chalazae hold the yolk in the center of the egg."

Most of my food phobias went away after getting drunk and hungry in foreign countries.

Doesn't matter what it says, for me those it's forever going to be rooster cum.

You'd think after eating a balut that it wouldn't bother me.

I can't deal with anything key-lime flavored. Had to drink a quart of key-lime flavored barium that nearly did me in, can't stomach even the smell anymore.

good explanation, and interesting comments! :lol:

I can not have any of my food touching. I also eat in order of worst to best.

Example: salad, baked potato, saving the steak for last. French fries before the burger etc...

When I had my appendix removed they put that stuff in peach crystal light...never again will I drink that crap. Poor scanner guy got spagetti thrown up all over him :lol:

Canned meats weird me out. Canned tuna or chicken :twitch: Or stuff that is home canned :twitch: No thanks.

Everyone has things they don't like, which isn't really a quirk..but carraway seeds disgust me. I abhor them. They are revolting little packages of a disgusting flavor I can not even begin to describe. I literally wish every caraway seed was stripped from the earth and burned, never to poison a food item ever again.

Grape Tang. I don't think they even make that stuff anymore, but when I was a kid I had to take penicillin for an ear infection and, because I couldn't choke down the huge pill, my mom used to grind it up and stir it in grape Tang. I can't even think about it without getting the smell of that medicine in my nose.

I go through weird stages of food, where I eat only that one food for a while, before I tire of it and move on to another food obsession.

Right now I am on a Triscuit kick. I eat a box of them every single day. Awhile back, I was on a popcorn kick.....I ate a bag of it every single day. Before that I had a black licorice kick.....then a beef jerky phase before than.

You get the idea.

Tofu. :barf:

I LOVE triscuts! Especially the Rye ones topped w/ a slice of cheese and slightly melted in the micro...OMG Heaven!!!

That was actually a really good article. I know I hate Cherry flavored anything because I've always associated it with cold medicine and throwing up. :ohwell: But have no clue why I have such an aversion to meat fat.

No kidding? I love caraway seed, especially in breads.

How about fennel seed? Like in a good fennel sausage?

My son has always had a problem with meat fat - he will not eat it!

:yay: :yay: :yay:


I am glad I am not alone. They taste like poison. How anyone can enjoy that chemical foul flavor I will never know. Revolting.

I have to eat my food evenly -- a bite of this, a bite of something else, etc. Hubby eats one thing at a time on his plate and I don't like it. :lol:

Texture is a big thing for me. If it feels weird in my mouth I can't eat it.

Same category. :barf:

No squeaky food! I love the taste and smell of coconut, but cannot eat it because it sqeaks. Same thing with frozen green beans.

And need it be said... oysters are nasty... :lmao:

Ditto, this is why I don't eat fish or chicken salad anymore. It always seems like I'm the one who gets the gristle. Also, bell peppers are the devil. I hate them.

Fruit in jello is yucky. Jello is not supposed to be chunky; it is meant to be smooth.

I hate celery seed. I can barely tolerate Old Bay anymore. :frown:

I can't live w/o Old Bay !

I can't eat jello -- the texture is disgusting. In fact, anything with a gelatin feel is gross.

I've got one for ya.....I turn my plate; usually counter clockwise; so, what I like the best; which is quite a long list; is closest to me.

Ditto on the celery seed.....celery too for that matter.

Last name Spratt? :lol:

Sooooo.....you like smooth huh?? :snort:
No wait.....You just like plain ol' Jell-O? Do you swish it around til it turns back to liquid again?

I like fruit in Jello - not bananas, though - but I can't stand vegetables in Jello. What sick individual first decided that carrots and peas belong in lime gelatin???

The thought of carrots and peans in lime jello makes me want to heave my guts through my nose.

Seriously, that sounds so vile I can't even comprehend the nastiness.

:faint:Canned Peas :barf:

Okay, I thought of something that may count as a quirk and not just a food preference:

Macaroni salad

The thought of pasta drenched in mayo absolutely grosses me out. I couldn't even tell you if it tastes good because I've never put the crap in my mouth. I like pasta salad that's made with vinaigrette. I like potato salad (only my own, though, and not with icky bits of onion and celery), and mayo in general, but noodles and mayo combined makes me nauseated.

:faint:Canned Peas :barf:

I'd eat raw octopus from a street vendor in Soul before I'd eat canned peas
