but first I have to get a sweater bc I have a tank top on and I will get cold. I live for my snow cone machine, no it lives for me lol. In 3 years I have bought 2 machines and use them at least once a day, in most cases more than once. The lid now comes all the way off and I have to bounce it up and down a couple of times b4 it will shut off. It makes an awful noise the whole time it runs, you can here it all the way outside. I run this machine in the summer time no later than 3am on any given night with the voice of my oldest "are you serious?" and I just have to laugh. Sometimes it gets really hot, what are you to do? SNOW CONE!

I have many food quirks. I can't have nothing touching anyone on my plate. Call my crazy----my kids do. I can't have eggs and syrup on the same plate. I will eat my pancakes first, rinse plate and go back for eggs, hash browns, and sausage.

I love to watch other people eat when we go out. I have fun, my hubby however will put a little of everything on his fork. This to me is hilarious. I could never be that brave.

what are your quirks--------I'm just saying. tell me please.

My MIL is a dear - she always folds laundry when she comes to visit; likes to keep her hands busy. But I have to admit that later when everyone else is asleep, I have to refold because it makes me a little crazy when the corners don't match up perfectly... :roll:

Never heard of anyone being addicted to snow cones before...LOL!

my mom will come over for a sew day. and spend twenty minutes cleaning something, she drives me nuts. bless her heart---got to love her.

HA...this is a good subject...I can't gag down a pancake..but I love waffles!! DH says..they are the same thing!! WRONG...waffles have a totally different texture...I hate sausage...can't stand the smell of beer...there are probably more things that I can't think of right now...can't drink hot tea without sugar in it...BUT can't stand sweet iced tea...just want it fresh brewed with lemon in it....can't eat jelly...it's just too slimey to me..but I love apple butter & honey..
DH won't drink milk if he eats any kind of fish? Actually he doesn't drink milk much at all...

OK I am done...I think *L* crafty_linda_b

your a red hatter!

I can't drink milk either----it coats my throat and gags me. I can't do sushi, the smell turns my tummy.

I cannot eat or even look at oysters. My dad always used to go to oyster bars and eat 2 or 3 dozen on the half shell. Ick. Can't eat sushi either. My son made me try it once. But I LOVE fresh pineapple. I could easily eat a whole one at one sitting. When I buy it I have to make myself make it last longer than one day.

how does that work for you I couldn't---takes too much will power I don't have, I love the juice when it runs down your chin.

If you were close to me I'd give you my snow cone machine. I won it at work and only used it like 2 times.

Cold roast beef sandwiches gag me. Actually it goes past gag.

LOL the responses are way too funny. Only becuase it made me think of things I couldnt or won't eat. No oysters or sushi for me..EVER...and wont eat most fishy things. NO Avacadoes ever. I rarely eat beef...love chicken and turkey but, veggies are my favorite of all foods. So many other things I cant even think of at this late hour.

I have all kinds of quirks that drive my family nuts. I can't stand to see any thing unlevel. Like a light swith plate or a picture on the wall. Books must be placed on the shelf in order by height. I don't eat steak because I don't like how the texture of it feels in my mouth. When we go out to eat, I always eat the same dish. And the list goes on...

Can't think of anything I won't eat and have never had food make me gag. I love to eat, sushi and oysters being among my favorites. I use to love cooking but can't be bothered so much these days. I still cook but nothing too involved.

Still love ice cold milk too. My Dad use to say I was never weaned properly.

I can't eat any meat that has gravy or sauces on them. My kids (all now married) say "Mom only eats naked meat", while they love A1 sauce, gravy, etc. ICK.
I love cheeses but can't stand cottage cheese. Something about the lumpy texture...like milk gone bad.

This is a very interesting thread for me since I love almost everything. But really I usually just "eat and get it over with" so I can spend more time quilting.

I get the hiccups if I eat bread, ham or raw potatoes.....

I love banana bread but can't eat a banana! The texture is too much. I like my veggies steamed just a little so they're almost raw. I also can't eat pancakes but love waffles. Texture thing again. Drink hot tea with Splenda but cold tea with Sweet and Low.

I don't have many food quirks. The only one I can think of is I don't like any kind of fish. Other than that call me pretty normal.

Okay here is my "quirk".. I cannot eat Anything with PEAS!! Love tuna cassarole but have to pick out the peas. Can't eat veg soup with peas either. I can taste them a mile away...YUCK!
I also cannot have my food touching each other on my plate. My DH mashes everything together just to spite me.

Can't stand Oysters or sushi, Just way to nasty. GAG. No Avacados, asparagis, boiled cabbage (love cole slaw and fried cabbage),no fish unless it is Captn D's, no salads with cottage cheese(love cottage cheese plain)and the list goes on.

i love the aroma of coffee but can't stand the flavor.

NO pepper of any any kind!!! No bell peppers, hot peppers, black pepper or white pepper.

I enjoy eating about any foods, including oysters and sushi. But, although I love cheese slices and I love lunch meat slices, I can’t stand them together in the same sandwich. I don’t know why.

Wife doesn’t like coconut in anything, and while she loves the aroma of coffee, she hates the taste.

CD in Oklahoma

I hate mealy foods like grits, Cream of Wheat (to me they are the SAME THING!!) Delicious apples also have that mealy texture - yuck! I also hate coconut in things although I like the flavor, just not the texture. Hate to see a good cake or pie ruined with flaked coconut on it.

Me too!

Only thing I don't like no matter how it's cooked is liver. YUCK. I used to babysit kids who wanted liverwurst sandwiches everyday for lunch. Fine with me, as long as I don't have to eat it. :)

I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to alcohol. Two sips of anything, no matter how gentle, will give me a huge headache. Another sip will have me pukin'. It used to bother me, but I'm just as fun sober and am a built-in designated driver. Thankfully hubby doesn't drink often 'cause I hate the smell of it now too.

No raw oysters for me( I raised four kids for gosh sake!! And I can't eat any meat that even has a hint of pink .

PEAS gag reflex to them...NO way no how
Also do not like cruncy stuff in my for example macaroni salas...NO celery, onions, etc. I like them seperate but not together...

I'm right there with you Betty on the 'level' and 'order' thing... I have my clothes hung in color order, like a rainbow.

I hiccup all day when I eat carrots.

My kids tease me that I must be Larry the cable guys sister bc I get the walking farts after most meals.

I will also clean girlfriends house when I come over while we are talking, if there is anything out of place I put it away. I don't like sitting in a mess------it's a tip breaker if we go out and eat. And don't let the coffee get low in my cup------if you see me licking the bottom of the cup that's another tip breaker.

now I love that

you guys are making me roll, I thought I was bad. how funny you are---------like I'm not even half weird hehe.

I can't eat bananas or yogurt, makes me gag but I can eat banana splits with no problem. I can't eat apples with the peel on them it bothers my throat and makes me cough and I get hiccups when I drink root beer thru a straw. Also can't eat anything that has eyes looking at me or still has the legs on it.

Since I was a young child, always hated milk, would gag...but always would drink buttermilk and still do. Ice tea I put three or four slices of lemon...hot tea NO lemon, a teaspoon of milk lol.

No LIMA BEANS or PEAS! No Crawdads! Ick. Lobster, ok. No Cod Liver Oil. My DAD forced us to take as kids, said it would stop colds because cod fish never get a cold. We would take it then puke. My Mom put a stop to that thank God!

I agree, but I did try this fish it was soooo good, it came with the head on it. My mom kept making these comments about the fish and I told her to stop like 3 times bc I wouldn't be able to finish it. I had to take it home and try later. My hubby will take the head off for me.

I thought I loved most everything until I read this thread and it reminded me...no pancakes...gooey...like a waffle very well toasted with apple butter...no syrup or any kind of jelly, too slimy ! Can't stand cottage cheese and that comes from being overweight most of my life and living on cottage cheese, boiled eggs and plain salads...yuk ! Can't eat lasagna just because I know it has cottage cheese in there lurking ! I don't eat the crust of bread on a sandwich BUT will only eat the outside crust of a biscuit...throw all the gummy stuff out....

What makes us like this ? I don't know. Milk, would die immediately if someone told me I had to drink milk or heaven forbid, a milkshake ! YUK ! Can't drink anything that is sort of thick which includes tomato juice...like the taste but not the consistency....
