Weird Eating Habits
55 Answers
Whilst waiting for a colleague to finish at the photocopier I noticed (at 8.30) he was eating a cold can of Heinz 'Big Soup' directly from the tin.
Never seen anyone do that before! Any gross/weird eaters you know of?!

A Belgian colleague of mine used to munch back Dijon mustard smeared between sandwich bread.
A Chinese colleague used to sound like a road drill slurping back his soup, to the point that was gross.
I'm on the World Wild Life terrorist list for what's been down my gullet..... following my time in China - 'if it moves they eat it, if it stays still, they build on it.'

One of the funnies was that I was up in Beijing with my business manager (Canadian Chinese) for that business segment - it had just been announced that I had been promoted to the regional board, so the agent that we were visiting wanted to take us out to lunch to celebrate.
One of the dishes served was sautéed oxen's penis and, yes, it came with a mushroom sauce. It was rather good and I did have more, the Chinese hosts pointing out that this was their viagra for men, oxen's, bear's tiger's and one other that I can't remember being the said sex agent. For women, the equivalent is deep-fried scorpions...... However, I had long since learned to try things once and then one can decide whether it is good/bad or edible/inedible - for example on the latter, turtle and tortoise 'o-rings' do not do it for me - it's a texture thing for the Chinese but, frankly, tastes like cooked rubber.
At one point, I motioned to my business manager that we needed to be going, our wives were waiting for us.
They were actually in Beijing and when we returned to the Palace Hotel, I recounted this to my wife, whose succinct comment was, "I guess it's one of those dishes that grows on you."

Go to any restaurant/pub at mealtime, and, sooner or later, you will see someone with strange eating habits. I was in a pub yesterday lunchtime, and two young women ordered Yorkshire pudding, with onion gravy, and chips. Chips! with Yorkshire pudding? And, they picked the chips up with their fingers!
I remember being invited to dinner in rural Alberta.Canada. There was a pink blancmange on the table and I wondered why they had put dessert on the table so soon - . I soon found out it was not dessert but a 'salad' along with another one that contained mini marshmallows -we were having the Alberta staple roast beef and potatoes. It was gross, yet they thought poutine was gross - whats not to love about french fries with grated cheese covered in gravy....ambroisie des dieux ;-)
