20 Strange Food Habits (Lisa Edition)

I thought I would switch it up a little bit, instead of doing yet another review. Maybe you guys can relate. In no particular order:

1. When eating leafy vegetables, like gai lan (Chinese vegetable) or even lettuce, I always pick the leafy part or the most green part. It tastes better.




2. For pizza, I eat the crust first. Then I spin my pizza slice around and start eating the tip.




3. I don’t eat french fries unless there’s ketchup. And when I squirt ketchup on brunch food, I like to squirt smiley faces on them.




4. When I’m walking and eating, especially matcha soft serve ice cream from Konbinya, 80-90% of the time I get stopped by a stranger and asked where I got my food item from because I look like I’m really enjoying it. No, it’s not just in Vancouver, I’ve been stopped while I was on vacation too.




5. If there’s a bag of chips, I purposely scour the entire bag for folded chips and eat them first. It’s even better when they’re folded twice.




6. There’s an order for how I eat my breakfast. Toast first, then eggs, then potatoes, and then meat (which are usually sausages, I don’t like bacon).




7. I take a long time to eat, but the meal that takes the longest is usually breakfast/brunch, then lunch, then dinner. If you’re out eating brunch with me, it takes me anywhere from half an hour to hour and a half to finish.




8. I only like the tops of asparagus, the bottom stalk part is boring.




9. When I drink soup, I like it scalding hot. If it doesn’t burn my mouth, I probably am not enjoying it. And yes, I know that doesn’t really make sense. But neither does your face.




10. If you go into a restaurant and order a well done steak, I will probably walk out.




11. I am appalled by the fact that some people don’t like broccoli. How do you not like broccoli?! I can’t seem to understand it.




12. I think when people add avocados or guacamole to a sandwich, it automatically makes it fancy. It’s not just because I love avocados.




13. There is one thing that helps clear up my skin. Eating grass jelly with condensed milk.




14. If there are pickles in my burger, I tend to pick it out and eat them first before eating my burger.




15. I used to be one of those kids who ate around my sandwich, as in eat all of the crust and then eat the middle part last.




16. It disturbs me when people whip out a cheese string, then proceed to chomp on it, unpeeled. That’s not how you eat it.




17. As much as I like to bake, I actually don’t have a sweet tooth. It actually takes me a whole day, if not two, to eat a full sized chocolate bar.




18. My utensil preference is always a fork. No matter if I’m eating noodles or rice. The only times I use a spoon is when I’m drinking soup. My chopstick skills are at zero – and no, I don’t know how to hold them properly.




19. Multigrain breads, crackers, cereals, etc. are fine. But I will not eat multigrain pasta, the texture is just way off for me.




20. I facepalm when people make a smoothie with fresh fruits…then they dump in a cup of sugar.

Yes I know, that’s a really long list of habits. I’m sure there’s more I could list…but I think I’ll stop there. Next post will be back to a review, I promise. I’ll be doing some reviews on food carts in Portland soon, hopefully.

Happy eating!
