I rarely use my knife to cut up my food - use the side of the fork and then scoop food with the same fork using my right hand only. I also eat things like pakoras, chips and pizzas with my hands. I think most mumsnetters would be spinning in a frenzy if they saw me eat!

You need a 'knork' (knife and fork in one). 😀

  1. Milk
  2. Teabag
  3. Boiling water

I KNOW!!

But I get far more compliments about my tea than anyone else. DH does it too, probably why I married him.

I eat apples whole so core and all.

This reminded me of someone I know who eats kiwis whole, skin and all - just bites into it like an apple

When I was younger I used to sometimes eat two or three frozen oven chips straight out of the bag. That seems really weird looking back, but I've just Googled and found a Reddit thread where people admit to doing the same, which is slightly reassuring.

I happened to mention on a thread once that I put butter on naan bread and got so many reactions! My ex was Indian and he got me into it.

I let my cats sleep on my bed, in fact whenever I change the sheets one of my cats loves to jump under the clean topsheet and hide. Then I have to pretend to look for her and finally she pops out. It's a whole routine, she loves it. But I'm sure a cat on a clean sheet is an MN no no.

I don't put items in the dishwasher straight after use! I know that would be enough for some on MN to divorce me 😁I prefer to stack on the side and load when I have a full load. Too much rearranging to fit things in otherwise.

Butter naan and butter roti are definitely a thing and available at Indian restaurants too. Nothing abominable about it.

Supernoodles topped with cheap peanuts, lemon juice and hot sauce = pad Thai.

Currently sitting with my feet up on the sofa with my shoes on for a rebellious treat.

I'm doing this. Smile

I put tomato sauce on my corned beef hash last night and my boyfriend had a breakdown 😂

That is the only way to eat it!

miltonj · 12/05/2022 18:50

@mistermagpie in my opinion indomie mi goreng are the absolute GOAT instant noodles.

warofthemonstertrucks · 12/05/2022 22:25

Eat mince raw. Just a tiny bit whilst I'm cooking it. I know how bad it is but I can't resist it.

ReviewingTheSituation · 12/05/2022 22:30

I put my clothes in the wardrobe or drawer when I take them off (or in the laundry basket if they are actually in need of a wash). Clothes do NOT need to be washed after every wear (undies/vests excluded, obviously).

Lansonmaid · 12/05/2022 22:34

Cheese and marmalade or cheese and marmite sandwiches- love 'em. Chips and mayo, only way to eat them in my opinion.

Butter and marmalade on naan is amazing

XenoBitch · 12/05/2022 22:41

Let my dog sleep in my bed.
Let my dog pre-wash any dirty plates.
Eat raw onion sandwiches (tons of onion, I can eat them like apples).
Leave it more than a month between bedding changes.
I put a sprinkle of salt in my coffee.
I have to fight myself not to eat pot noodles before adding water.

Looking at a few other comments, I also eat bits of raw mince (bacon too). I eat the skin of kiwi fruit, I eat the whole apple, I also eat the small frozen chips before putting them in the oven.

Pinksalty · 12/05/2022 22:45

Eating small spoons of bistro gravy. The stuff in the jar though, not the weird pellet kind.
Silverskin pickled onions. Have to be the really small cocktail ones though and then I drink the vinegar afterwards.
yes to mashed potato sandwiches with loads of butter and salt.
oh and mini cheddars eaten with a square of galaxy chocolate between, like a little sandwich

stimpyyouidiot · 12/05/2022 22:51

Pasta n sauce (the packet shite) but with mozzarella sprinkled all over the top

stimpyyouidiot · 12/05/2022 22:55

@ElenaSt I am SO intrigued as to how you discovered this. I'm also slightly grossed out hahaha 💜

Shannith · 12/05/2022 23:17

Cats and dogs everywhere here. I. Bye bed, in the bed, under the bed. If the horse could get I'm in she probably would.

I cook roast chicken every other day for the non equine pets. Sometime I sit and share it with them, scrap by scrap!

I also eat completely random food combinations. Last night was fake scones - thick sweet pancakes, with thick Greek yogurt that I sweetened with sugar, and posh strawberry jam. Eaten hot from the pan. With my hands. Savage.

Shannith · 12/05/2022 23:19

And probably my biggest abomination... not proofing my posts.

Iamnotokifyouarenotok · 12/05/2022 23:24

Peanut butter,cheese and marmite crackers…absolutely amazing!
I leave teabag in mug so my tea gets stronger as I drink it !

sweetkitty · 12/05/2022 23:26

Sandwich abomination- prawn cocktail crisps banana and vegan Mayo

allowing the dog and cats on the bed, kissing the lizards cute face

Iamnotokifyouarenotok · 12/05/2022 23:28

Oh and dog sleeps in bed every night…! Get quite upset if son is home and doggie goes to his room!

SingleHandSue · 12/05/2022 23:29

Pick chunks of skin off my fingers and eat it.

DS2 is the only other person not horrified by this as he does it too.

We tried each other’s skin once but didn’t like the taste.

Purplecatshopaholic · 12/05/2022 23:32

I just bought these Uggs. According to my friend they are an abomination.

mathanxiety · 12/05/2022 23:36

I throw balls back over the fence and let next door's children climb in to get whatever balls I can't be arsed throwing back.

Own and use a loo brush and also a bathroom bin.

Eat crunchy organic peanut butter rolled up in flour tortillas.

Sometimes crunch dry ramen noodles instead of adding boiling water.
