I hope you washed them first!

I always have to have something covering my clothes when eating, even though i have a big gob (no comment there please Mr Jordan!!!) i always manage to spill something down me! even when there is nothing spillable on my plate.

I have just been advised that its not the case i have a big gob but just that the area of catchment is too big to miss! i don't think this is an eating habbit as such but at least i can save the dribbles and crumbs til later if i need to!!!

That smiley, like, totally defines you.

Duuuuuuuuuuuude.

OH MY GOD, you so must be psychic, we just said the only thing that last post was missing was the dude on the end!!!! WOW, i never imagined you had a brain, let alone used more than the 10% normal people use!!!

Aw, thanks Whippy. :p

AND DON'T CALL ME WHIPPY! *sets Chris on fire and cordons off the area so he can't be put out*

Sorry, Whippy.

If you are going to insist on calling me that god awful nickname, the least you can do is call me Ms Whippy, you cheeky little upstart!

I thought that counted as stealing!

As for me, I have no weird food habits at all. No siree, absolutely zilch, nadda, none. My lips are sealed.[/quote:87b220b164]

Oooh yep, thanks for reminding me: stolen food tastes best of all.......there's no garnish better than guilt, no sir.

Personally I'd definately call eating with your lips sealed defying a cultural norm......possibly even a species one. In fact, I'm quite impressed. Do you use your ears or what?

Also: Chrisjordan and Misswhiplash, don't make me have to send you to bed without dinner again :x

Don't forget the Great Dieters' Myth - "Food taken from someone else's plate contains no calories!"

I too use chopsticks when eating Oriental.

Mention of scissors reminded me of one trick which definitely got me disapproved of - many years ago while eating onion soup in a restaurant here, late at night after one of our productions, I had trouble with the liberal amounts of half-melted cheese floating in the soup - the strings of cheese were running from the spoon at my mouth right down to the bowl (and getting in my beard) so I got out a pair of nail-scissors I happened to have in my pocket to cut the cheese - this was not a popular move!

Well, lets see... My abnormal eating habits are:

1) Food always tastes better if eaten with fingers.
2) Food always tastes better if it has such a high ammount of salt that you can get heart disease just by [i:eb14ec0905]looking[/i:eb14ec0905] at it.
3) Bread tastes very nice with vinegar
4) If in doubt, smell the food before eating (by bending right over the plate)

And thats all I can think of at the moment. Now back to my finger-eaten-deadly-salty-food, lol.

I think nearly anything can be dipped in tea. Salt and Vinegar McCoys are particularly tasty.

As a student, I have, over the years, come up with some very interesting recipies of which the main purpose isn't taste, or nutrience, but merely the staving off of death by starvation. Because the loan doesnt last very long, neither does the nice food. Rice with gravy then becomes and option.

Wagon wheels must be eaten by carefully levering off the top biscuit, and then peeling off the marshmallow. Points are given if you can get the marshmallow off in one piece.

... wondering if Pixel knows the other meaning of "cutting the cheese"

... wondering if I should tell him

... definitely agreeing that it would have been perceived as a bad move in a crowded restaurant!
