I eat the "worst" first and then the "best".

I also put hot sauce on almost all of my food before tasting it. I go through so much, you'd think I drank the stuff.

I need everything to be almost extreme tasting--be it sweet or savory. I use too much of most condiments. And salad dressings.

There is never to be ANY mayonnaise on anything I eat. Or peanut butter. I will refund if I smell either one.

I also sniff EVERYTHING before I drink it...this year at college, I woke up parched (and BADLY hungover) from the night before, reached for a cup of water and took a big drink. No, it wasn't water. It was pee-warm, CHEAP vodka. Urghhh.

I eat/drink all my soup broth first, then I eat the bits.

Not quite a weird eating habit, but I adore Chinese takeout. I think I order it at least twice a week.

Depends.

When I'm at school (yay for summer vacation, but I still heart university), I'm up by 8:30 every morning. I usually don't have classes that begin before ten (or at all on Fridays) but I need to be up. I live above a Starbucks (the elevator actually goes INTO it) so needless to say, I spend a good deal of time there. I go just about every morning for a coffee fix. I also have nonfat yogurt, fruit and some granola most mornings.

On the weekends, I take the time to cook myself vegetable egg-white omelettes or fritattas. I was never really into waffles or pancakes, instead I stick with savory/salty things in the morning. My coffee is always sweet though, so I suppose it balances out.

I'm still on the college "two-meals-a-day" diet though. I eat my breakfast and become so busy during the day, I don't eat a single thing until dinner. So healthy, I know. :)

I stuff mine with salads, or roasted veggies, etc.

Anything you would put into a sandwich can go into pita.

If you slice it in wedges and bake at 350 for about 10 minutes, you'll have homemade, not fried pita chips.

I love to have a greek salad pita sandwich...quartered tomatoes, sweet onions, feta cheese, kalamata olives, a squirt of lemon juice and plenty of olive oil...toss together and then stuff into the pita. OMG, yum.

Watermelon with a teensy bit of salt
Jersey corn, I like it cooked directly on the grill...with some charred kernels, YUMM!!!
A jersey tomato and good buffalo mozzarella sandwich
Orange & white custard from Kohr brothers on the Boardwalk
Ditto a big, fat slice of Boardwalk pizza. (Sunburn required)

Ohh...and the smell of sausage and pepper sandwiches at S"l"easide! :)

Well. I've rediscovered my love of New Jersey pizza since going to school in PA. Correction: WESTERN Pennsylvania.

I'm all about: thin, WELL DONE crust, heavy on the sauce, fresh buffalo mozz with whole olives, mushrooms and roasted gaaaaahlic. hot pepper seeds and parm cheese is a must.

For a spectacular plain pie? I'm all about DeLorenzo's.

My mom always said anything eaten at the sink has no calories :-)

But I would have to say my favorite eating spot is in front of the computer - probably need to disinfect it if you listen to all the news stories about eating at your desk. At least I'm the only one that uses it so it's my own germs!

That way I don't rush through my food. The other thing is I'm not satisfied with a lunch unless it has everything your mom would pack for you. I can get away with half a reasonable sandwich if I have chips or pickles and a fat-free pudding; compared with a Dagwood sadwich, and I'm still "hungry."

It works for my husband, too but in front of the TV - he snarfs his food otherwise.

Oh, and I too pick my meat apart and feed "the ickies" to the cats, dog or my husband!

Weekdays and weekends for me are pretty much the same: either Nature's Path Kamut Puffs or pumpkin spice french toast with cranberry sauce. Odd, but tasty!

@Josdean - I'm from the Pgh area and I never knew that EnP was a family owned gig! Since there were so many around the way Denny's was (my first job :P), I just assumed that they weren't a regional chain.

Screw PETA. screw them and their sexist anti-badonkadonk ways. I'm not sure that there's an organization out there that I *wished* so much I could get in line with that has *ever* pissed me off as much as PETA has over the years.

I'm "real".

I love animals.

I was a vegetarian for years.

I'm not anymore.

Still love animals.

I eat meat and I like it. I try and buy the most local humanely raised/slaughtered meat I can find.

Yeah, the shirt's pretty silly, but so are most of the tees in my collection.

The whole "skinny bitch" thing also saddens me greatly. But, If eating meat guarantees me a tuchus like Jessica Simpson's, then pass the chops.

(Unrelated: in my opinion, Oreos took a big downturn flavor-wise when they took out the lard. Sorry, but it's true.)
