What are your most disgusting or controversial food habits?

I like peanut butter cookies dipped in mashed potatoes and gravy. At least I did in high school. Haven't tried it lately, but it freaked out my table mates.

I hate to be a cliche, but I put hot sauce (Frank's) on nearly everything savory. And I love piper, too (black, white, pink, green).

I hate ice cream on a stick so I push off the ice cream to place in a dish instead.

I used to bite the bottom off the ice cream cone and suck the ice cream through it.

Stove grease - (a mix of pork and beef) prestarts a frying pan before the usual oil. And, it’s kept in a refrigerated glass jar that is never cleaned and has to come to room temperature so I can add anything extra to the mix.

My chicken fat is another animal that is stored in the fridge - it’s a substitute for duck fat in shellfish dishes.

Sometimes I'll make quesadillas using extra sharp cheddar and hummus.

I pour a giant glob of Dijon mustard onto a plate and rip apart a grocery store rotisserie chicken by hand, mopping up the mustard. I don't think I've ever used a utensil while eating rotisserie chicken. I'm an animal.

Fat. I love crispy bits of fat and skin. Beef, pork, chicken, lamb. All of it. I'll use bread to sop some of it up. I'll even have a paper-thin slice of beef fat raw. I'm sure I have more controversial and disgusting food habits, but this one popped up fast.

I pick my nose.

When I am at home by myself, I eat spaghetti like some dog in a back alley.

At jewish delis, I order my pastrami on a hard roll with mayo.

Mayo on everything.

Except doughnuts.

Da fuck is this?

Beyond TMI, thanks for runing Cheez-Its.

I have cappuccino in the afternoon when I'm in Italy. I've nearly been hung upside down like Mussolini.

Peanut butter and raw green peppers. Peanut butter and cooked carrots. Both are good.

I also love mustard. If I have chicken tenders I dunk them into hot German mustard. Same for fries.

I also salt watermelon, but just a little. Sometimes I use seasoning salt. It’s been so hot out all I want to eat is watermelon.

r13 "thanks for runing"

What is your native language? Just curious

R16 My native tongue is Typo.

cottage cheese with ketchup

Mayo on kimchee

No dressing on salads. Ever. It is partially a health thing, but mostly that dressing is just too overpowering. If I want just the taste of ranch, I will just chug it from the bottle.

r20 What about yours is disgusting or "controversial?"

I’ve received a fair amount of strange looks over the years R21 when dining out. A lot of people just think it is bizarre.

R20 is our very own Australian Nicole Kidman who said her favorite sandwich is a salad sandwich and that made me sad for her. And now, R20 is breaking my heart.

There are so many high HFCS dressings that turn any vegetable into a fat girl salad! Buy one!

I chew up my chicken bones to tiny shards after eating fried chicken.

R24, you’re neither gimp or monster; you’re the person who helps me make good broth.

As a cooke for six years of hell, one success is that my most ferrel coworker found me beef ribs in the fridge when I needed a broth. You are that person.

I’m like R10.

I think guzzling a bottle of ranch dressing qualifies as disgusting.

I like a lot of salad on my sandwich but there better be some meat or cheese underneath it. Even a meatless patty. And Miracle Whip.

I like to drown my salads in dressing.

I also love liverwurst sandwiches on white bread with lettuce, drenched in mustard.

R18, That was >Nixon's favorite snack. I used to like it, but now can't imagine it.

I have a friend whose favorite breakfast is eating a banana and at the same time a bowl of dry cereal. I can't even imagine.

Another friend finds egg salad and tuna salad sandwiches the most disgusting things in the world. I mean it really makes him sick to the point where it isn't funny. I don't tell him if I have boiled eggs I mash them up with tuna, add mayo and have a fast filling dinner.

i like slop cuisine. The less tiresome chewing involved, the better.

Rootbeer on ice cream

Honey on cottage cheese is good. Nixon snack reminds me of Harry Hamlin’s story of his rocket scientist dad eating a can of Alpo at the kitchen table.

When I was a kid, I loved dipping a Hardee's cheeseburger in one of their strawberry milkshakes. One day, I might do it again.

I love to eat food as fast as possible to preserve the heat or cold.

r33 How long have you been floating that recipe? 😉

For me, cold pizza and a glass of milk, it really is quite tasty. Same for popcorn.

R36 I could not eat with you. That drives me batty .

When I was a kid I used to put a ton of butter on white rice and then smother it in sugar.

I love to eat food as fast as possible to preserve the heat

I have to laugh at cooking shows where food is shown to be steaming hot when served on a plate.

I used to do all sorts of strange things - like BBQ sauce mixed into my spaghetti sauce.

For some reason, I can't be bothered anymore.

The weirdest thing I do now is probably hot sauce on popcorn, no butter or salt.

R38 I don’t shovel it in with poor manners but I also don’t take 45 minutes to eat a sandwich.

How long do you take?

I saw a movie recently where someone was eating a meal and smoking simultaneously.

R43 Probably about 10 minutes.

R44, Even Julia Child and her husband were smokers until she had breast cancer. Those old paparazzi photos are full of celebrities at dinner with groaning ashtrays on the nearby tables. It's one of the things I find an improvement in modern life.

My lazy self makes 3 ingredient sugar cookies and eats them all with cold milk.

You all must smoke copious amounts of pot to be able to stomach this nasty stuff.

I love a good sweet onion sandwich.

I only eat cod if it’s paired with prunes and swimming in tomato sauce.

R49, Jacques Pepin gets better as he ages. He is the sexiest and most accessible TV chef.

I’ve meant to make James Beard sandwiches for decades.

When I was a small child, my best friend acquired tuberculosis. While she was ill, she put ketchup on everything she ate, including dessert.

Come to think of it, I'm quite surprised that fine dining restaurants are not currently serving icecream with "fresh" ketchup sauce.

P.S. R50 = Greg.

I’m just surprised that I’ve taken up Depression Era cooking so easily.

I had a Great Great uncle who threw his horses’ turds into well water to hydrate his gardens.. He also had enough space in his kitchen to save and boil vegetable peels. At the time, I was high and mighty. Now, I’m jealous of his garden and kitchen spaces.

Kraft Mac and cheese mixed with dark red kidney beans and jalapenos.

Canned corned beef hash with shredded melted cheese.

I had a Great Great uncle who threw his horses’ turds into well water

R54 - I thought this was headed elsewhere.

All of you are disgusting. Vile.

Except R49's contribution of James Beard's sweet onion sandwich. It doesn't really excite my palette to imagine it, but I wouldn't hesitate to try it if it were served to me. It doesn't seem at all a disgusting concoction.

But the rest, what slop. And jars of stove fat are grease are vile.

My worst eating habit: I can be a little fastidious cutting off fat or burnt or other nasty bits from food. I'm quick and don't draw attention to it, but hate the taste of each.

R56, if you knew how ABOVE IT ALL my gayling body felt when I saw how this man lived - and what I’ve learned since seeing how he lived, you’d understand what a vile little shit I was. He was a farmer who had sold off acres of land. I was a poor working class rat looking down on othhers.

I don't know if it's disgusting, but I put salt on watermelon and cantaloupe.

I waste food. A lot.

[quote]I don't know if it's disgusting, but I put salt on watermelon and cantaloupe.

A very light sprinkle of salt is fairly common. Something about the salt brings out the sweetness of the fruit.

[quote]I used to bite the bottom off the ice cream cone and suck the ice cream through it.

Honey, how could we have missed such a glaringly obvious clue?

[quote]. And I love piper, too (black, white, pink, green).

... Perabo, Laurie, Heidsieck ...

I don't do it much anymore, but I love butter on weird things like Oreos, potato chips, chocolate chip cookies, beef jerky. I even used to eat butter between two slices of American cheese when I was doing the Atkins diet.

Dunk a hunk of Swiss cheese into Duncan Hines chocolate frosting.

I put way to much sugar in my sauce. (Red Sauce) for pasta.

I love it! (I use brown sugar)

I call it dessert pasta.

OP, I love to douse fries with black pepper. Makes them taste incredible.

When I was young (and eating my feelings about my parents splitting up), I would have an afternoon snack of butter on saltine crackers. No surprise I was a fat kid!

Twice a year I buy a bag of Fritos Corn Chips and eat them but just twice a year so you really have no grounds to judge me.

This is the Datalounge, r69.

WE NEED NO GROUNDS TO JUDGE YOU!

In college, when my metabolism was way better, I ate a whole pie every single day in one week. I can't do that anymore.

Some people recoil at the thought of boiled peanuts, but I savor them every year during green peanut season. This year's season has just started and I am in hog heaven.

My thinking is many haters have never tried them, and therefore hate something that they know nothing about.

R69 I also treat myself a couple of times a year to Fritos and a can of bean dip . Pure garbage but I love it.

Pay no attention to R72 that can’t be a thing.

People are probably turned off by the description r72. I know I was. But then i tried them. Yum!

[quote]I used to bite the bottom off the ice cream cone and suck the ice cream through it.

I bet you had plenty of men chasing after you with that talent, R3.

I sometimes spoon fresh salsa on pizza (after cooking the pizza). Mild salsa is good, but spicy is fantastic.

Guess I’m not the only one but I enjoy a cold glass of milk with most snacks and meals. Had Doritos and milk the other day at it was delish.

R74, boiled peanuts are popular in the South. So are peanuts in a bottle of Coke. I'm not saying it's "right", just popular there.

[quote]OP, I love to douse fries with black pepper. Makes them taste incredible.

I do that too. Also lots o pepper on corn (frozen or on the cob.)

R51, I never Jacques Pepin sexy but he just seems like a truly nice man. Which is kind of rare among chefs on TV, sadly.

[quote]My thinking is many haters have never tried them

I have, they're slimy and cold.

One of my favorite tastes ever R78 is to eat a peppermint candy cane then drink an ice cold glass of milk . I do it every Christmas.

Bless your heart, r82.

r11 hahaha. A Jewish friend once read me for trash when I asked for a side of mayo at Katz' deli in NYC. Gasps were heard throughout the dining room. I love mayonnaise, I like mustard (dijon) but don't eat it a lot.

r24 I am the same way!! I love gnawing the ends of the chicken bone. That's why I never order chicken wings/fried chicken when I'm with company. That's the kind of meal I enjoy in solitude where I can gnaw away and not be judged. I also love chewing the cartilage that's sometimes left on the bone ends.

R67 My regular diner lunch order - cheeseburger with only lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, thousand island, and mayo. I blacken the fries with pepper and eat them with an additional side of mayo which is also mixed with black pepper, and I also added black pepper to both sides of the buns. A third of the shaker in total at least. A glass of cold WHOLE MILK of course, anything else would be psychotic and criminal.

The top of the inside of my microwave is covered with something that must have erupted in it years ago. At some point, I noticed that occasionally bits of whatever it is will fall down. To keep it from getting in the food, I put a paper plate over the food to protect it. I know I should just clean the inside of the microwave, but there’s nasty exploded food stuff on all the surfaces and I don’t want to touch it.

I have used a lot of paper plates through the years as covers on the food I heat in the microwave.

I like to rub canned mixed vegetables all over my body in an orgasmic frenzy.

Fruitcake and vanilla ice cream

If it is too icky for you to clean, hire one of those cleaning services that constantly advertise on TV to come to your house and do it. Problem solved and your paper plate budget is freed up for other uses.

R11 I give you an upvote just for the courage it takes to look someone in the eye and place that order.

R87, that's disgusting, and honestly, pathetic. Toss in a small bowl of white vinegar, let it run for a minute, and the gunk practically slides off. Wipe it down with a paper towel and boom, you're done. Five minutes, tops. No excuse for living like a swamp creature!

I can only imagine how filthy the rest of R87's place is.

R93, there’s some problem areas. I suppose the bathrooms are outside the range of what people consider “habitable”.

I crave and therefore eat my desserts first, before the actual main meals.

I did that at a cafe once. I ordered three desserts. Nothing else.

I have a problem with using too much butter. Some years ago I decided that the only way to deal with this was to not purchase butter and to not have it in the house. Instead, I buy margarine which tastes so disgusting that I don't use much of it. Having butter in the house lead to weight gains so I just don't have a choice about it.

R97, My brother called me about a month ago to tell me about his new revelation: BUTTER in his scrambled eggs. He's 65!

He sounds like a fellow butter addict R98! I totally understand him. Hope your brother's waistline doesn't suffer. Mine certainly did. For me - it's like that AA saying about “One drink is too many and a thousand never enough.”

Okay yes, it’s childish, but I can’t do meat on the bone. I’ve never been able to. Even as a kid, I’d look at a drumstick and think, that’s a femur, and lose my appetite. My mother indulged it, so I never thought it was weird, until I met my then-boyfriend, now-husband.

First dinner with his very straight family. His grill bros, the whole lot of them. They present me with a Fred Flintstone–sized slab of ribs, grinning like they’d just hunted it themselves. I just said, casually, oh, I don’t eat meat on the bone.

Dead silence. Full record scratch. His dad looked like I’d shit on the flag. He thinks I'm a red, a fucking communist.

Later, I hear from the grape fine, that the family thought I was a childish little queeny butch about it. Fine. Maybe I am. But I still don’t do bones. I have taste.

Obviously *queeny bitch

Btw, 15 years later, I'm husband's extended families fav -- guncle.

R87 enjoy your microplastic caused cancer. Paper plates are not to be nuked.

OP?

Same, regarding the black pepper.

I absolutely love it, & have since I was a kid.

I pu tGreek yogurt in a four cup glass pyrex and add water ( I do not like the thickness of Greek yogurt) I take three avocados and mash them in a bowl then use a rubber spatula to add them to the yogurt and mix well and that is my Friday night dinner.

Julia Child taught me to enjoy freshly ground black pepper and nutmeg, as well as white pepper. I was accused of being a demon from hell here on DL for my love of nutmeg in quiche. I learned on my own to love green peppercorns in pate.

Even microwaved scrambled eggs need some butter. and lots of cracked black pepper.

I use margarine. Butter gives me zits

I cannot imagine making a quiche WITHOUT nutmeg, r105.

I don't have a microwave and have never had a microwave and will never have a microwave. Microwaves ruin food. I don't know what they're for.

Peanut butter and curry powder sandwiches!!! Dat's da suck job!!!!!

[quote]I pu tGreek yogurt in a four cup glass pyrex and add water ( I do not like the thickness of Greek yogurt)

Greek yogurt is just regular yogurt that's been strained to remove some of the water. Why not just buy regular yogurt?

I like KFC-type fried chicken dipped in plain yogurt.

R10[quote] I use margarine. Butter gives me zits.

Zits? What are you, a teenager? Margarine is basically Vaseline with a PR team.

Correction I meant R106

Me too R 78. I drink cold milk with big bowl of hot buttered popcorn.

I never use a fork. I use a spoon to eat everything,

[quote]I never use a fork. I use a spoon to eat everything,

A small shovel really shouldn't be called a spoon.

I had my canned Sardines in olive 🫒 oil for lunch yesterday as usual but this time I dipped them in German mustard-yum 😋

I have eaten fois gras and enjoyed it.

[quote]I have eaten fois gras and enjoyed it.

Oh, dear.

I pick the chocolate chunks out of Ben & Jerry's ice cream (Funky Monkey, Cherry Garcia, etc.). I don't like them.

On Monday I eat for lunch a large salad plus Tempeh that I've marinated overnight in lemon juice ( fresh squeezed) pure maple syrup and chili powder. I cook it in a frying pan in the lemon juice/maple syrup mixture that put it on corn tortillas with vegenaise lettuce and tomato .

You know the stuff that accumulates along the bathroom floor around the toilet? I put that on my extra scoop of ice cream.

Crostinis topped with sour cream and fake (salmon roe) caviar. Scrambled eggs seasoned with herbs and lemon pepper, topped with bacon bits and feta cheese crumbles and covered in habanero sauce.

I douse my medium well steak in ketchup and enjoy every bite.

R72. I love hot boiled green peanuts! But I can't find them anymore. Used to be out on Rt 301 through Florida you could find stands where they were cooking them up right then and there. Absolutely delicious.

But now I find myself forced to buy the shitty canned Cajun peanuts. Overpriced and not green, so too crunchy.

I do believe that R82 thinks you should eat boiled peanuts [italic]cold[/italic]. Ugh. No wonder he hates them and thinks they're slimy! They're called HOT boiled peanuts for a reason, R82!

R8 you would love fried pork belly.

Imitation crab meat finely chopped, with a dash of mayonnajse, a dash of paprika, and lots of pepper.

But it needs to chill overnight. It’s only good when it’s very chilled.

Crab salad sandwich (actual canned crab, mayonnaise and chopped onions) on wheat.

[quote] cottage cheese with ketchup

At least Jerry Ford had enough class to use A1 sauce.

I cut my spaghetti before eating it with a knife and fork (Whether or not the pasta has been drained)

[quote] My brother called me about a month ago to tell me about his new revelation: BUTTER in his scrambled eggs. He's 65!

How about a little milk to make them fluffier?

I cut my spaghetti before eating it with a knife and fork

That is more controversial. as a kid I hated it when mother served spaghetti and my other family slurped to eat it. THAT was disgusting.

[quote]Crab salad sandwich (actual canned crab, mayonnaise and chopped onions) on wheat.

How is that disgusting or controversial?
