Does anyone else have very specific likes/dislikes in terms of food preferences or food habits that others consider to be odd?

Lets get the ball rolling-

I tend to gravitate towards acidic/strong tasting food bread dipped in vinegar is a favourite.
Also anything most people would consider to be a sauce or accompanyment I tend to just eat raw or from the bottle- ketchup, mustard, pepper, hot chilli sauce.
I get through tubs and tubs of cocoa which I just mix with cold milk or water.

Does anyone else have addictive patterns with food?
For instance if I fancy fruit then I sometimes go for a week or more just eating whatever fruit I fancy that day (I visit the supermarket 3 times a day sometimes I like public places where I can walk around unchallenged and unnoticed).
Either that or it's things that make me feel different somehow after eating them like ground coffee, cocoa, chilli etc

I would be interested to hear anything along these lines. My friend thinks I am nuts.

I am new by the way hi, sorry if I start bombarding threads, I geto quite addicted to forums which is why I previously tried to convince myself I don't like them and tried to avoid them where possible.

Hi there and welcome.

Don't worry there are 18,000 of us here so post away, it all moves very quickly here too so you could probably post a lot and not swamp us ; )

As for food, I like to have the same cooked lunch for several days at a time and the same cake for a week or two before changing it. I cannot eat lots of things due to allergies/ulcer but with my preferring the same foods its not such a big deal :D

hi, i'm kinda new here too...welcome! :-)

i really kind of dislike meat (mostly because of the texture), and especially dislike meat that i need to pick off the bones to eat (like fried chicken, ribs, etc.)

my only other thing is that i eat everything with a fork and knife. lol i mean it's like that old seinfeld episode. i eat pizza, donuts, candy bars, everything with a fork and knife. my friends raz me relentlessly for it, but i don't mind....it really is kind of funny :-)

Im like you then :wink: I also have big issues with meat, cant stand it at all really. Its not just the texture, i feel it tastes like blood. I do eat meat, but its mostly processed stuff like hotdogs and that sort of thing.

Also, i have a huge issue with bread :? I never eat it, which drives my family insane.

I like bold and mildly spicy food, east and south Asian food especially. I also like chicken and seafood. I like tossed salads as long as there is a lot of stuff in the salad and not just lettuce and dressing. I LOVE pizza and have gotten quite good at making home-made pan pizzas.

I can't stand spicey food. Other than that, I'm not really a picky eater.

The veggies (if they even count) that I like are corn and potatoes (mashed only, instant is better). I will stand lettuce and raw carrots.

I love most fruit, just not a big fan of tropical ones.

Meat I like: Oscar Mayer summer sausage, hot dogs, turkey, chicken...the turkey and chicken can't have stuff on it like being breaded or bones...I hate bones! I usually put a little seasoning on chicken or turkey. And I hate gravy!

My favorite meal is spiral kraft mac and cheese. I also love popcorn with lots of salt and those big soft pretzels...I have a terrible diet though! I can't stand things mixed, like coleslaw, salads, etc. I am not a fan of pizza or hamburgers and HATE going out to eat because of my picky eating...anyway, that's me :)

Yes I have patterns, and certain likes. I'd get upset if my mom bought the wrong kind of bologna, which I could tell even if I didn't see(So you never know the difference doesn't apply). Since it was so hard to punish me since I didn't care about most things, my mom would ban me from bologna. It sounds strange, but I worked I would beg for bologna sandwhiches. I eat about the same thing everyday. So much so that the college cafeiteria lady that makes sandwiches and wraps knows exactly what I want, without me saying anything. I've been getting the same sandwhich for nearly 3 years for lunch and dinner, when I've been at college.

I love the taste of a rare steak. I wont touch a well done piece. Its the iron-ey blood taste that i like, just a little warm. In fact, steak tartar is one of my favorite dishes.

Thai food, the spicier the better is a big winner with me. I love the way they layer flavors and aromatic spices together. Mmmm, evil jungle, coconut red, or green curry with the lime leaf or lemongrass, and yes, fish sauce.
Its my favorite cold remedy. I also love indian food, especiallly the vegetarian.

I will try almost anything once, as i love a new taste challenge..

just no GREEN BEANS!! I hate those things with a passion. I can tolerate a polite bite of greenbean casserole on holidays.

I will NOT eat sugar. I will in reasonable amounts, but I really don't care for the taste. I love salt though.

I won't drink anything other that either water or orange juice, and I LOVE orange juice :D

I love steak tartar, I would get caught sampling raw tenderloin when I was meat cutting, AAA Alberta Beef, its the best in the world, I also love anything spicy thai, indian and mexican, not tex mex that you see in most restaurants, my favorite vegetable is, 5 spice roasted carrots, but most vegetables taste good roasted
