That's what I thought too, and I don't really know that I have any quirks about any foods, except how some of them are cooked, like boiled okra.....UGH!!!! But I love fried okra.

Debbie JJ, I LOVE okra...both fried or boiled, or in gumbo. We moved to WA state in 2009, and cannot for the life of me find fresh okra. No one here likes it, or so I'm told. I think in the five years we've been here, I found fresh okra one time at an outside fruit/vegetable stand. So, when we travel to TX during summer months, I eat all I can, well...I try! We plan to move back to TX when our house sells, and when we do, we are planting OKRA!

I have never enjoyed making cupcakes. I do it but I don't like all the drippings of the batter on my cupcake tins. And I try and try to get the exact amount of batter on my spoon to drop into the tin but I never ever get it right !

Funny...in my family we call the end pieces of bread "butt bread". Not very appetizing, is it? I don't like eating the butt bread; I used to feed it to my dogs until I got a dog with a wheat sensitivity and he got hugely bloated from it & my vet told me that lots of dogs have trouble digesting wheat. Now I don't feed wheat anything to any of my dogs. DH will rescue the butt bread for sandwiches but I just don't like it and he can't have wheat now. I should do more crumb-topped casseroles or something to use them up.
Trying to think of other weird food things I do...when I cook fresh broccoli I skin the woody parts of the stem away and cook up the core of the stem, DH thinks that's bizarre but I love fresh broccoli and don't want to waste a single morsel!
When I slice onions, I periodically rinse my knife and the uncut part of the onion bulb under cool water. Again, DH thinks I'm crazy but I swear it cuts down on how much my eyes water.
Tomatoes - if I'm going to be dicing a lot of tomatoes I dunk them in an ice water bath for awhile first, so they're firmer and easier to cut. I learned that from working fast food, of all things.
I get annoyed if DH grates cheese right off the block and leaves grater-marks behind. No real reason for it, I just don't like it!

The only 4 things I refuse to eat is Okra - its slimy --Hominy & Malt-O-Meal they just look gross and Yogurt -only because I can't get pass the name. My family thinks I'm a bit odd about the handling of raw meat. If I can't use a fork or tongs to re-pack or cook it I use disposable gloves.and still wash my hands a couple times before and after.

I was at a church supper and when people went back for seconds, they did not all get clean plates. Grosses me out. Germs go from your mouth to your plate via fork, then the server goes tap-tap on your dirty plate with the serving spoon, then puts it back in the dish. I couldn't think of a polite way to say anything at the moment.
