Name five strange or weird eating habits that you have (from Teesa):

1. When I eat smarties (the American kinds, not the Canadian ones!), I eat them from darkest to lightest, and then from hardest to softest, one at a time. I like to suck on it for a couple of seconds, and then nibble from the outside edges into the middle.

2. I don’t eat ketchup or mustard with anything. I think they’re gross. So instead, with my french fries, I dip them in salt. Yum!

3. I require lots and lots of cream cheese when I have it with my bagel, otherwise I probably won’t finish it. I like eating it whole, sandwich style, with the fluffy cream cheese sticking out in the middle.

4. I rarely eat anything red, which includes cheeries, berries, and strawberries. This will also bleed into purples and sometimes green. The only “red” things I eat are chili peppers, tomatoes, and sometimes red apples, and sometimes red tomato sauce in spaghetti but with much reluctance. Red grapes are a no-no. Green grapes only!

5. I eat Asian food only, and don’t eat what I would dub “white” food. Well, I’ve gotten better about this over the years, but the majority of my food preferences are still only Asian-oriented. It could be thai, vietnamese, chinese, filipino, whatever. It has to be asian. Only “white” food I eat includes (and far more than this, really) pizza, french fries, mashed potatoes, grilled cheese sandwich, cream cheese/bagel, and very little more.

Dave’s making me add the following! Hahahah!

6. (Extra!!) I don’t like Westernized sauces or dressing, which includes ranch dip, salsa, etc. Dave insists that I insist that I don’t like them even though I probably really do. I just won’t try them, and will insist I don’t like them.
7. (Extra!!) I don’t like cheese and will not buy or order them, but the inconsistency in this is when Dave offers some cheese to me, I take it and eat them willingly. LOL

8. (Extra!!) When going to restaurants, everything is “special ordered” or added or edited. Every restaurant I order the same exact thing, and rarely try other things on the menu. For example, at Busara, I order the vegetarian Tom Yum soup (which is on the menu), and add wide rice noodles in them (which is the special “edit”). At our favorite Japanese restaurant by the beach, I only order the Udon noodle soup, with no onions, but green onions okay. Every single time.

9. (Extra!!) I insist that I don’t like onions, and will order things “without onions, please.” However, if I don’t know it’s in there, I won’t be able to tell. I’ll still insist that I can’t stand them though.
