I eat a Big Mac in two parts. Top half like a normal burger and then the bottom half which no longer has a top bun..... that's the best bit!

Bourbon biscuits! Remove the top and eat, nibble around the filling left on the bottom layer, then eat the bit with the filling.

No no no.

  1. Eat top layer
  2. Scrape off filling with top teeth
  3. Eat bottom layer

With a Dime and Star Bar I nibble all the chocolate off first, then eat the middle.

Yes. And Mars.

Dd's colleague eats Babybel with the red rind on! Man in his 30's...

That's not rind, it's wax! It's the equivalent of him eating a crayon 😱

DollyParsons · 26/10/2023 21:54

Cupcakes decorated with buttercream - I cut one in half horizontally and have the sponge on top and bottom with the buttercream in the middle.
Not explaining it very well - but basically I construct a mini sandwich cake!

WonderingWanda · 26/10/2023 21:55

I eat a kiwi like a boiled egg with a spoon to scoop the inside out. I like to gnaw the chocolate off a crunching before eating the honeycomb.

Maybe he is reliving his childhood??

When I get takeaway fish and chips I eat the chips first , but one third plain , one third with vinegar the last third with tomato sauce . Then I eat the fish .

I eat the chocolate layer off a jaffa cake first. Then the sponge and save the orange jelly bit for last.

This is totally normal. Anyone is says otherwise is a monster.

Mouldyfoodhelp · 26/10/2023 21:58

Kit kat. Bite off all sides and ends and then try and do the wafer layers one by one.

McCoy's crisps have to be eaten ridge by ridge

Wotsits sucked.

Grapes peeled

WeWereInParis · 26/10/2023 21:59

I leave skins on for mashed potatoes which my mum thinks is lazy.

I always do this. I think I read something once that said the skin is healthy so you could always tell your mum that (I'm not sure if it's true though!)

I just quite like the skin.

TokyoSushi · 26/10/2023 22:01

I eat everything with a knife & fork, pizza, burger, chicken wings, Chinese starters - I can't bear finger food!

WeWereInParis · 26/10/2023 22:01

Weetabix - growing up I just assumed that the only way to eat it was milk on top, then heated in the microwave and mashed to make something the consistency of porridge. That was just the way my mum always made it and I didn't just think it was normal, I assumed it was literally the only option.

It was only when I grew up, had DC and gave them weetabix and my DH asked wtf I was doing did I realise that apparently this is not how everyone does it.

OldTinHat · 26/10/2023 22:03

I consider anything in pastry as a wrapper. So I peel off the pastry and just eat the inside - bit like just eating the crisps, not the bag!

I eat apple and pear cores.

Do you have a tree growing in your tummy after eating the seeds? That’s what I was told would happen!

FrancisFriedFish · 26/10/2023 22:05

I saw someone eat an apple with a teaspoon . Seriously odd.

Do you think he poops candles? Good way to recycle

Honeyandwine · 26/10/2023 22:06

@WeWereInParis I eat weetabix like this too. Also heat up coco pops so they're all chocolatey and melted.

Love my toast like hospital toast- has to be cold and then I put butter on it so it doesn't melt.

Also love olives on a roast dinner. Will pile olives into a Yorkshire pudding then add gravy.

Ladyof2022 · 26/10/2023 22:08

Mars bars. First I nibble my way along fluffy layer leaving me with a stick of toffee then I nibble my way along the whole length of toffee.

BeyondMyWits · 26/10/2023 22:09

Winnipeggy · 26/10/2023 21:32

Also I lick every bit of flavouring off of Pringles before eating them

So do I!!! And sometimes get surprisingly happy if there's one with extra flavouring on.

Ladyof2022 · 26/10/2023 22:11

Häagen-Dazs salted caramel ice cream. I'm microwave the Carton then scoop the half melted ice cream into a warm bowl the whole of the ice cream is softened and around the edges is literally liquid like milkshake I then get a spoon and eat the milkshake like parts first whilst the rest of it defrosts into milkshake.

@Honeyandwine

You’re an animal!

Soggy cereal and OLIVES in a Yorkie???

Get out!

I eat a Big Mac in about 5/6 layers. I would need to have one to calculate this exactly.

This is how I was given Weetabix as a child too, and I give it to my children the same way. DP has never questioned it so it can't be too weird...
