Weird food quirks

[acommondisaster]

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.

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

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

I just ruins my meal.

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 . 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?

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

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

...You will eat a chicken fetus but not rooster sperm....The fetus is just developed rooster sperm...
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."

The Parts 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!

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
