Does anyone have an eating disorder? By that I don't mean bulimia or anorexia, but is there anything you enjoy eating that most people think is awful? Or maybe, like Costal admits in another thread, you like to eat straight out of the fridge when you're starving hungry. Hands up all those who admit to taking a spoon to the peanut butter, jam or honey jar. (Everso puts her hand up)
I take cod liver oil capsules every day (for my joints) but I just have to crunch them before I swallow them because I like the taste. Yes, I am that weird.

freak!!!!  yes i eat ham and cheese straight out of the fridge. sometimes i cut a lump of cheese and wrap ham round it and then eat it. this is strictly at times when i am so hungry that any food preparation time is just an annoyance. i suck the marmite off of twiglets. sometimes i eat cereal straight out of the box, with my hands, as if it is a giant box of crisps or somethink. i used to get my hand stuck in pringle tubes tring to get the bottom pringles out before someone suggested the idea of tipping the tube up instead. does that count as one? |

I will eat ham straight out of the fridge when I'm peckish. I ate a whole packet like that yesterday, 220g. At the time I was actually in the middle of slicing the wholemeal loaf I'd just bought at Greggs, to spread and make sandwiches, but I just couldn't resist the ham. After I'd recovered I put butter and forest-fruit jam on the slices and scoffed them as well, with a pint of tea, of course. (Lidl and Aldi sell excellent jams, by the way. The Germans really know how to make good jam.)
I will also eat chunks of cheese like that, mostly Cheshire or Lancashire. Use Cheddar mostly for cooking, including cheese-ham-onion toasties.
Had some tempting French Camembert on crackers for supper. It wasn't cheap, and it was practically tasteless. Bugger. I love cottage cheese on Marmite on crackers, ideally with scallions.

Leftovers......can't stop myself....
I think it's a generation thing...brought up by wartime survivors, waste was just not permitted: practically a crime.
*except celery of course, I'd rather starve.

I think it's a generation thing...brought up by wartime survivors, waste was just not permitted: practically a crime. * except celery of course, I'd rather starve.I'm the same with leftovers, and celery. No waste was allowed in my childhood home. None. But celery was never served, thank the Lord. I once fell out with a good friend of my first wife's, on account of expressing revulsion at the celery soup she served up at a dinner party. My childhood best mate liked to eat celery with sugar -- sugar! -- applied to the groove. Blatantly. In the street, even. Imagine! Disclaimer: I will happily include celery in my famous vegetable soup these days, but not a lot. |

Celery, bananas and cucumber seem to be, like Marmite, a love/hate thing. I guess because they all have very particular flavours. I like all four. My late father-in-law hated cucumber with a passion and was unable to eat a salad if cucumber had been added to it.

Bananas are not offensive. |

And they only way they'll be the death of you is if you swallow the pips because then you get an olive tree growing in your stomach.
It's true - it is!

Olives are good for you - (sulks, in jealosy).
I'm puzzled by this "snacking from the fridge" business. Do you all keep custard creams and chocolate there? I'm not even allowed to keep cheese there....Jack won't eat the stuff until it is about to walk out of the door.
But...(and this is a big confession) ...I do like processed cheese slices, the stuff Costal says now has to be called "Singles." Perhaps it is because it is the sort of stuff my mum never let us eat.

Yeah, you're probably correct. Mum's don't let kids eat certain things, so when the kids grow up that's the very thing they buy and keep in the fridge so that when their mum comes round they see it. Squirt cream was the thing I'd never ever buy because I just knew that if I bought a can and left it in the fridge I'd catch my kids holding the end in their mouths and squirting. In fact, to this day, I have a real downer on squirt cream. Sometimes you order an Irish coffee in a pub restaurant and they bring it up with a swirl of squirt cream instead of cream gently poured over the back of a spoon (the correct way). I get really snooty about it. It should bloody-well be banned, frankly.  |

When squirt cream first came out our office was sent a sample - I'm not sure why.
I replied with a thank-you letter, ending "may it never be confused with shaving foam"
