To ask what things you do, that you think are completely normal, that have caused others to be shocked/disgusted?

[HappilyChatterly]

Sat in the staff room tucking into a kiwi, like you do, or rather like I do...chomping it like an apple. Everyone was horrified! Apparently you eat it with a spoon like a boiled egg... I can see why, the skin is minging but I alwa?s thought it was worth it for the delicious flesh. My family all eat it that way, never occurred to me there was anything odd about, I thought it was just the way it had to be done.

I'm really paranoid now there are other things I'm doing that are weird and disgusting. Please post your own experiences so I can tick them off the list.

I keep everything in my bra to! Though since I got an s3, it makes a bit of a funny shape in my bra so i have to push it down so it's not poking out

DS is weird, he eats tablespoons of gravy graunles and thinks stock cubes are a treat! He is also the only person i know who can dip his finger in mustard and take a huge bit and his eyes won't even water!

eating tomato puree straight from the tube is lovely, I squeeze a big dollop onto the end of my finger or onto a teaspoon and eat it while i'm cooking.

I can't stand tea or coffee.
I empty a packet of chocolate buttons into a packet of ready salted crisps and eat them together, for a special treat.
I prefer cadbury's chocolate to any fancy boxes of chocolate.
I will think of more. I'm always being told I'm strange.

Not me, but a friend. I always thought this was weird enough to mention.

We were in a restaurant and ordered these giant prawns. He ate the shells too - the shells! They were huge and the shell was akin to armour-plating (which I suppose it is).

I asked him if he was ok and he said he always ate them like that. Waste not, want not I suppose.

doodly I eat prawn tails too I don't tend to eat the shell bit the goes round the body and the little leg things, but I like the tail - its just like crunchy prawn!

Oh my goodness dramajustfollowsme that sounds lovely. It reminds me I like to pop a french fry in my mouth at Maccys then sip my strawberry shake.

Majestic your post about cereals really made me laugh. I remember a college flat sharer who on her first day in the flat stood in the kitchen and put three different cereals in her bowl. I was like . It had literally never occurred to me that you could do this!

We don't eat a lot of cereal at home but if I go to a hotel now I have a cereal buffet mix plate in her honour!

I love jam and cheese sandwiches, oh and cheese with apple pie too, yum (my dh thinks I'm very weird).

Set phasers...I do this with books too. Read the first chapter, then the last chapter, then go back to chapter 2 and read the rest. I like to know what's coming!

Choc buttons and crisps does sound lovely, ooh a reason to nip to the shop methinks.

Alright thebest, I'll give you the prawn tails - those little fan tail ones at the end of the breadcrumbs or something! Even I could manage those. But the rest? They were seriously huge and tough.

Talking of prawns (I really must get out more), DH's Spanish family all pull the heads off and suck out the brains etc - apparently it's the 'best bit'...

I will eat crunchy/granola-type cereals straight, without milk. And actually, I quite like the odd spoonful of raw porridge oats. I have been known to eat cubes of braising steak raw, and do like my steaks to be almost blue. Maybe I'm a werewolf.

Oh, and I also do the last-page-first thing with books though I do try to rein that in with certain types of books - it's not good for whodunnits, stories-with-a-twist or anything where you've really been building up to a grand finale.

I keep everything in my bra

laurie do you have to make a cup size allowance for storage??

I have a thing for condiments in general. Can happily sit in front of the telly with a jar of tartar sauce and a spoon. Yum.

Am also a big fan of sauce butties. Favourite combinations:

red, brown, mustard & mayo
red sauce and mint sauce
salad cream, tomato and garlic puree

I also swig Lea and Perrins from the bottle. Mmmmmm......

My mum used to like sucking the brains too.

I remember I loved the bone marrow you used to get on chops. Love bread and dripping too - lots of people who are wrong think that's disgusting.

I love eating the parsons nose off a roast chicken. Dh thinks that's gross...

Doodly Yes you have to eat your prawns like that. All the flavour is in there and its nice and juicy

I keep tissues up my sleeve too or, failing that (short/baggy sleeves!) in the waistband of my jeans next to my hip.

I LOVE cheese and jam sandwiches. Used to get the piss taken out of me for this when I was at school, but I've since been told it's an Australian thing...? Not that I'm Australian lol.

I can't bear to exercise in loose clothing; I hate the feeling of it moving around. Swimming has to be done in a small bikini as I can't bear anything covering my torso when I swim, and running has to be done in capri legs and a close-fitting top.

I can't bear hot drinks. I even ask at coffee shops and cafes for them to make my coffee 'not too hot'. One barista then checked if I'd like it 'kids' temperature'

I do NOT keep prawns up my sleeve or in my bra............

Vinegar in any soup, cant eat it without.

I also eat beef oxo cubes. Only oxo though, not the squidgy ones.

I let the dog lick the plates before they go in the dishwasher, and I put the dog's dish in the dishwasher too.

I can't eat with outdoor clothing on. I have to take my coat off. I get some funny looks when I take my coat off, during winter, at a football match to eat a pie!

I have that extra thick double cream in a bowl with granulated sugar on it.

The sugar sort of caramelises into a kind of skin. It is truly divine.

(I also used to eat Marmite and sugar sandwiches as a child and remember them being lovely although I have no desire to have one right at the moment.)

I like to come down the stairs gripping both handrails and jumping 2 steps at a time. I also do the stair sprint thing.

My mum would happily subsist on nothing but cheese and jam sandwiches. She prefers the crusts. We used to go through so many loaves of bread because she'd eat the ends off them and leave the rest to go mouldy.

Speaking of mould, I will happily spoon or cut out the bad parts of any food that's gone mouldy. DP thinks it's disgusting because there's 'invisible tendrils' of mould that I might have missed. I figure what I can't see can't hurt me.

I let the dog sleep in bed with us. Under the covers.

I 'baby bird' feed my 9 month-old ds, if there's something I'm eating that he'd like but would be too hard for him to eat without some help.
