weird food rules.

[kuangning]

A) The first piece of KFC may not be eaten skinless. Each piece thereafter, however, must be.
B) M&Ms, Skittles, or similar candies must be sorted, first by colour, then by number, so that they are eaten in pairs, according to colour, and the least-frequently-appearing must be eaten first.
Note: If there is not a pair of one colour, a single one may be either sucked on until it dissolves, or bitten exactly in half and eaten that way.
C) I shall not mix food items on my plate until just before eating them.

Those are the ones I can think of right now. Does anyone else have these?

Now, that's just wrong: you sort the M&Ms and Skittles into sets, one of each color, putting the full sets aside, then creating incomplete sets. And you eat the incomplete sets first!

[kuangning]

Aiiieeee!!! I used to do that. then I realised I was spending more time sorting than eating. So I modified it. And I feel better now.

*grins* I, also, am a reformed set-sorter. Pairs are much better.

And I bite singletons in half, too. How peculiar! O_o

I don't have many, but potatoes on a plate should be to the *left* and the plate must be rotated counter-clockwise to re-orient the contents accordingly, *even if* it would be faster to turn it the other way (caught myself doing this the other day and thought it very strange, but ultimately harmless :) )

I sneak the extra chicken skin when I'm not looking. M&Ms must be eaten most frequent first. And food must never ever mix. (My sister's rule is that food must never ever touch.)

[kuangning]

Never ever mix? Isn't that impossible?

Heh, that's funny. I tend to sort colored candies by color, then eat just enough so that each color group has the same amount. Then I'll regroup everything so as to have sets with one each of all types. And then proceed to eat everything in no particular order whatsoever.

See, now that sounds much more like my candy eating rules. Though there are some candies where exceptions are made (usually when I like the flavor of one of the colors much more than the falvors of the other colors.)

[kuangning]

In that case, do you eat the ones you like best first, or save them for last, or ration them like I do?

KitKats must have the top layer removed and eaten separately from the remaining layers.

Gummi bears should be licked before eating, so as to reveal brilliant jewel colors.

Junior Mints must have their undersides bitten off to facilitate ingestion of delicious minty centers :)

[kuangning]

Oooh, yes. Anything wafer-like with layers must be separated. I haven't had Gummi bears, though. And the thing about Junior Mints is just very cool. :)

[dormouse-in-tea.livejournal.com]

Kit-kats must have the entire exterior chocolate coating nibbled off, THEN be separated into layers from the top down! :P

When it comes to Skittles, I'm most fond of combinations of flavours, but not organized enough to sort them. I just pour them all out, take them in groups of one of each remaining colour until they're all gone.

[kuangning]

Hee. That sounds just like you. :)

nono, you're doing the m&m's thing all wrong. What you should do is sort them into colour sets and eat them alternately starting with the *most* frequently occurring colour, so that by the end you have an equal number of each colour. :)

With Three Musketeers bars, you have to scoop out the filling and roll it into a ball. Sometimes, I play with it like playdough.

[jetorange.livejournal.com]

Yeah, separate the orange and green m&m's out because they are the most brightest/colorful and eat those last.

Also, eat one m(&/or)m at a time, always noting the color for some reason. Browns and yellows usually go first.

Reeses cannot be eaten unless they've had a tour of a freezer.

Lettuce wets amd cools meat, so no lettuce on hot sandwiches.

I was hard pressed to come up with anything. I'm sure I have my own little insanities, but I'm not so good at noticing them.

My ritual from growing up, though, was that I always had to have a book in order to eat. I couldn't sit still for food without a book. Or maybe playing a computer game.

I eat slowly.

The only thing I can really think of is that I'm fairly anal about eating my candies one at a time. No mix-and-match of skittles for me... one flavor, chewed until digested. They last longer that way, and I noticed that when doing too many at once my mouth would tingle in an unpleasant manner. This holds true up to the point of things where it would take extra effort to fit a whole piece into the mouth (say, regular candybars), and down to items the size of nerds, though I occasionally break the rule all around when I'm feeling particularly... energized. Odd, that.

Sometimes I'll pop a couple (skittles, say) into my mouth, for expediency, but I'll still only attend to one at a time.
