For example:
-
When you open a fresh jar of peanut butter do you only work through one side until it is completely empty then start on the other side?
-
Or when you get those shallow tubs of hummus does it have to make it back home undisturbed? Then one of the baggers at the grocery store shoves it sideways into the bag completely ruining the symmetry.
I don’t hate crust but I prefer the texture of a sandwich without the crust, so I eat most of the crust before eating the rest of the sandwich… I usually only do this when eating alone lol
Man, you and I may just be opposites on this. I love the crust; it’s my favorite part of bread. I save the smooth top part for last on sandwiches cause it’s my favorite part. I even construct my sandwiches so that the tastiest internals are near the top crust.
Even with French and Italian bread I will pull out the crumb and smear the crust with butter, mayo, or soup to eat on it’s own.
I pity your lack of freshly baked bread (crust). Crunchy, even better with seeds…
Haha, I always save the best for last. Same thing. Whatever I’m eating, I get the mediocre stuff out of the way first.
I eat burgers and sandwiches in a circular pattern for this exact reason. So many people eat it so that the last bite is mostly bread soggy with sauces. I make sure that the last bite is from the dead center, so it’s still warm and has the perfect ratio of ingredients.
Same, and with a burger as rare as I like it the last bite is always a perfect little lump of pink rawness.
At school I always eat the salad first, drink water and then the main meal.
Smart. Have to get the worst part over first, and then wash the taste of those fresh vegetables out of your mouth before enjoying your meal.
I am actually one of those rare people, that enjoy salad (not most vegetables, but salad is good). I still eat whatever I get no matter how terrible it is.
There is no 5 second rule. If it touches the floor it’s literally inedible.
Nice try household pest, that food is still mine
Agreed unless the place is very clean and the food is solid and i really like tge food then i just eat it maybe done this one or two times in my life .
No floor is clean enough to do this.
I used to, and then I realized that “germs” exist and they’re called bacteria and viruses, so I stopped doing it. I only trust tables and surfaces because they’re (at least supposed to be) cleaned with sanitizer… Even then, it’s iffy.
Eating anything from the floor, regardless of how much or how little time it’s been there, is not something I ever want to risk. Regardless of how clean a place appears to be.
I have enough GI issues without getting some mystery stomach bug because the wing that fell on the floor for 2 seconds was really good and I didn’t want to lose it. I’d rather go hungry.
Nah i meant things like cookies when i am at my home
I still don’t do that. No 5 second rule for me. No matter how clean my own floor is, I’m still not doing it.
I don’t have a 5 second thing tho its just take it as fast as i can and have only done it one or two times but yeah i understand
What about things you can rinse, like a grape?
That’s fine. As long as you clean it properly before eating it.
I would also claim exception for uncooked food, specifically food that needs to be cooked before it is consumed, if it hits the floor prior to cooking, as long as it’s properly cleaned and cooked, it should be fine… I’m thinking more along the line of meats and things here. If cooking only involves a short bath in boiling water, then no… 10+ minutes in 300+ F temps, sure.
Exception to the exception: if any debris is on the food which cannot be easily removed.
I’d make exceptions for non-porous foods, I mean our produce has been in the dirt for most of their lives.
But for porous, wet, or craggy food I can’t even think about eating it without gagging.
Depends on how much I like the food 😅
so very much this, people have zero clue how much contamination happens just from the instant of contact or how quickly bacteria reproduce.
They’re worse than rabbits.
My dog doesn’t agree with you. If it touches the floor and nobody says NO fast enough, it’s his 😁
This is the way
If it’s a wet food this is definitely true. If it’s dry, like a chip, it won’t really pick up much unless the floor is visibly dirty.
Only sandwiches in the shower. Noodles are right out.
Look at this guy that hasn’t figured out where to eat pizza.
I will eat all of the chocolatey edges of a Kit Kat before I start to eat the wafer bit that’s left with just two thin layers on top and bottom at that point.
I also do this. There’s two of us!
Do you eat the chocolate fluff in between the wafer layers before eating the wafers as well or do you just eat the wafers together?
Kitkat is from nestle . Just pitting this information here its your choice to do what you want with it.
People who separate anything they eat are heathens. The proper way is to stuff bits of everything on your plate in your mouth at once for the correct taste and texture sensory overload.
Even Oreos?
Yep, also Oreos are overrated!
Everyone gets a minimum of one chance for BS. I don’t like people giving me BS.
Why so strict with Beef Stroganoffs?
My weird rule is I don’t by food
You say you’re a dancing bear, but that sounds like something 3 raccoons in a trenchcoat would say.
How good pickles are is inversely proportional to how whole they are.
- Whole pickles: blegh
- Pickle wedges: no thanks
- Pickle strips: on a sandwich, sure
- Pickle chips: yum, on a sandwich or alone
- Diced pickles: oh yeah, please
- Pickle relish: hell yeah!
Now all that’s left is to try a pickle smoothie to confirm your theory.
We’ve got to go all the way, time to vaporize pickles and inhale them
You haven’t had pickles until you’ve freebased them
Dehydrater - mortar and pestle - rip a big line of pickle
“Mooooommmm, Dad’s nose is bleeding again!” “What did he do this time?” “Remember when he snorted a line of 21 Seasonings spices on a dare? Well…”
What you vaping bru?
Pickle juice, homie.
I know how to do this.
take relish (sweet or dill) and blend smooth. add pickle juice until runny. blend again. put about a 1/4 cup into an empty Soda Stream and pump it up like triple the normal amount. quickly cap and shake the hell out of it. uncap and suck the vapor out with a straw.
-I am a stranger from the internet and would never do this myself
Pickle beer is a thing.
Thats gotta be amazing
It’s really good for one or two then it gets to be like drinking out of a pickle jar.
I wonder what pickel vodka tastes
Pickle backs are a thing. It’s just chasing a shot with a shot of pickle juice. First saw it with Jameson, but I think people do it with a lot of things these days
Pickled veggies, bleh. Pickled fruit, fuck yes.
There is just something about that sweet and sour flavor that hits right. Pickled pears, apricots, and plums are my favorites.
Are you counting pickles as fruit here? Cucumbers often get thrown in either or. (Seeds inside fruit discussion)
Definitely not. Cucumbers don’t have enough sugars to reach the sweet/sour threshold that make pickling worth eating to my taste.
Is relish basiclaly like the pickel equivalent to salsa?
I have this but in reverse (and less extreme). I can eat a good pickle relish, but it doesn’t do much for me. Then, the delish goes up as we approach the whole pickle. The whole pickle is sour and crunchy. Perfection!
Haha, we must be arch nemeses.
When it comes to things like chocolate bars, cookies, brownies, pop-tarts, ect., I almost always pop them in the freezer for a bit because it changes the texture.
Cookies/brownies with chocolate chips/m&ms are the best for this, because the chips get crunchy, while the cookie part is chewier.
That’s one of my favorite things. I started doing that one hot summer and now I do all year round. Cold chocolate is the best chocolate.
Do you pop the pop-tarts into the toaster afterwards? They’re much better toasted imo
Nah, but just because it’d also reverse the effects of freezing them. but next time I get them, I’ll try toasting them first!
Corn on the cob must be eaten from left to right. You must eat all the way around the cob so that section is clean before moving on to the next section. I suppose I’d accept right to left in the same fashion; it’s the people who take totally random bites with no rhyme or reason or uniformity that make me crazy.
What about row by row? Like a typewriter.
Ooh, I’m more typewriter with mine. Left to right in horizontal lines.
Question, do you rotate up or down? I always hate the first row because there isn’t a kernel to bite through cleanly with my eye teeth so I always rotate up.
Up or down, doesn’t matter (although I may pick one unconsciously, I’ll have to pay more attention next time), as long as you get it all before moving to the next section.
I thought this was universal corn law
This is the way.
I like taking a bite anywhere on the cob, turn it randomly, bite somewhere else leaving little corn “islands” along the way. Bite, turn, bite.

I have an eating disorder and while I’ve gotten better…not that much better.
- A lot of foods are just dead to me. I miss bread.
- I weigh and log everything to .0 of a gram.
- At the end of the day I subtract the amount of calories I’ve eaten (to 0.01 kcals) from my calorie limit and those calories are banked in the form of egg whites so that I can always get bang on my calorie limit for the day.
- My main meal of the day has to take me over an hour to eat
- If I have to eat something that I can’t log with certainty, or I’m bringing and purging that day, my calories for the day are halved
- I don’t drink calories unless it’s alcohol
You know, I hadn’t actually written out these rules until now and like…oft.
That sounds tough to deal with.
Holy shit, this would kill me. I’m a mess when it comes to food. One day almost nothing, the other day storm of sugars, next one mostly vegetables, etc. I’ve never counted any calories and it honestly scares me, because I know I’d be fucked.
Measuring in grams to the tenth won’t get you kcals to the hundredth. More importantly, kcals per gram isn’t even close to that precision in labeling. I hear you though. I measure to the tenth but I recognize the precision for what it is and move on. I realize you’re dealing with tough struggles though. Sorry about that. I’m just talking precision.
No seed oils. No ultra processed food or drink, or to an utter minimum. I mean, I will always eat a pizza or a bag of chips or something at some point. So, it balances out. Little sugar, since it is already everywhere.
Make everything at home, if possible.
Aren’t all oils made from seeds? Which ones do you eat?
You can use animal fats. There’s also evidence saying they’re healthier than plant/seed based oils because they contain more saturated fats and don’t oxidize as quickly.
That’s not true and plant-based oils are so different from each other. Sunflower seed oil is pretty bad, but olive oil or rapeseed oils are good for you. Just don’t use too much, but that applies to all oils
Well you can find quite a few scientific studies saying exactly what I’ve said. I agree that plant based oils are not all the same though.
Just one example:
3918 of those who cooked with vegetable/gingili oil had ASCVD, and 249 of those who cooked with lard/other animal fat oils had ASCVD. The prevalence of ASCVD in vegetable/gingili oil users (31.68%) was higher than that in lard/other animal fat oil users (17.46%). Compared with lard/other animal fat users, the multivariate-adjusted model indicated that vegetable oil/sesame oil users were significantly associated with a higher risk of ASCVD (OR = 2.19; 95%CI, 1.90-2.53). Our study found that cooking with lard/other animal fat oil is more beneficial to cardiovascular health in older Chinese.
Sorry, but that study is just bonkers. They use one type of oil (sesame) and sneak in the spurious generalization of “vegetable/sesame oil”, as if it were representative. It is not.
Here you can see the range of unsaturated fat percentages in different plant oils: https://images.ctfassets.net/stnv4edzz8v3/25E1IVeShv9HOcse0Luc5p/dbe6b2165d4ca7f4a93e2f912f3bcdf6/Polyunsaturated_fats_in_plant_oils.png
Unfortunately, neither rapeseed nor sesame are in there, but you should see how much they differ. Stay away from sunflower seed oil, at least when cooking at home. Rapeseed or olive are good. Don’t use more heat than necessary.
Where do you get the idea that they focus only on sesame oil?
Well, they don’t say what they mean with “vegetable”, but it’s just put in the same group with gingili oil. I don’t know if you’re in science or otherwise familiar with statistics, but that’s a problematic indication. They don’t justify why they group them, how many of those replied with gingili etc., and they don’t provide a separate analysis. Other major flaws with the study:
- it’s correlational, but makes a causal inference. That is basic stats, you can’t do that, even if there are no other easy ways to make causal inferences on that topic.
- the groups vary significantly on many factors, such as total size, smoking status, gender distribution, drinking status etc. They “adjust” for that, but that’s not how “adjusting” works. You can’t just adjust for characteristics of the person and then pretend it’s all controlled for. There is a great paper on this problem, which is unfortunately quite common: doi.org/10.1037//0021-843X.110.1.40
I wouldn’t want that in my salad dressing though
I don’t know, lard is pretty awesome. It’s a bit of a tradition around here to keep the remains when cooking bacon, put it in the fridge and then spread it on some bread.
I sometimes use bacon fat to make stove top popcorn. It’s so tasty!
I use excess lard to make rice tastier for example, it’s awesome for that. Still wouldn’t want to use it in a salad though ;)
i fry my chicken in petroleum oil
Ahhh, earth aged vegetable oil you are quite the connoisseur, sir.
I briefly microwave my ice cream before eating.
I don’t want it to be soupy. I’m going for soft. And I am too impatient to let it sit on the counter a bit to reach that sweet spot of consistency.
I some times add heavy or whippimg cream to it
I used to do that! Never encountered someone else who did.
I do this too. I use defrost. Want a great treat? Get some vanilla and frozen OJ. They are awesome together.
Can I get a further explanation of what you are making? Sounds like a cremesicle ordeal.
Pretty much. Just take some vanilla ice cream and mix in some frozen OJ. Swirls or even chunks.
Soup is not food.
This is the best way to reference
