Eating Habits and Pet Peeves

[Brave]

I always thought that Beirut was half dog half man.

Two words: barbeque wings. I am terribly messy with them, but I'm not sure I'll ever be able to live without them completely.

People eat pie with their hands? I think that would count as something that would wierd me out a little.

When I was in South America people would drink coke from those little single serving bottles using a straw. Same with bottles of water. I'm pretty sure quite a few of them thought I was odd for drinking out of the bottle.

It's weird when people eat ham with a knife and fork. It also annoys me when people refuse to do shots.

It always bothers me when I see people taking shots of really good whiskey, or anything else that should be savored.

In most, dare I say it, third-world countries they'll sell soft-drink in a glass bottle, the idea is so people don't throw them down and leave them on the side of the walkway like some would do with a plastic bottle. You're supposed to drink using a straw so they can recycle them hygienically (I think). In Indonesia (the only third world country I've been to) if you try and take a glass bottle away from where you purchased it they'll say (using all the power of their limited English) "Hey! Hey! Put bottle here, I give you plastic bag," They'll pour the remainder into a plastic bag, put a straw into it and tie it up with a rubber band. Now you have a take-away soft-drink...
Oh, they also sell their tea in a glass bottle, just a random fact I wanted to throw in.

It's bite once say it is deliscious then wait till your done eating. Who ever has cooked it turn to them and say "It was very good thank you for (breakfast/lunch/dinner)"

So true... So very true.

I cannot stand people who make those little orgasmic faces when they first sample their food. It might be good, but it's just food-I don't make a face like that unless something's going on under the table.

I also dislike people who take whisky with ice; the worst are the ones who ask me incredulously if I want ice when they see I'm drinking it neat. It's a 25 year old Laphroaig so thanks, I'm good.

My dearest sir, if your British behind is sipping 25 year-old Laphroaig and my Canadian posterior is not in the chair next to you sharing the bottle, rest assured, all is not in fact good.

I talk with my mouth full...I have mastered the art, and have not shot gobs all over people since I was 6. ...I try not to think about it...

Also, I have gotten into fights because people have stolen my food, so I would say that that has to be on here somewhere. It is my food, I bought it, not you, keep your grubby little hands off of it!

I eat pie with a fork...

I dip my fries in mayonaise...(or arby's sauce, if it is handy)

BROCCOLI IS GOOD

I am not picky about silverware, only cups. I have this little coffee cup with a little chip on the side of it. it is the only cup I have used in the past 3 months.

I dislike people who complain about using chopsticks.

I slurp...and it drives my grandmother up the walll.

I hate it when people eat soo fast and gob everyone around them.

I dislike picky people. (probably because I have to cook for so many of them...)


...I have said too much...

Couldn't agree more.


Another one of my pet peeves is when you go to a restaurant, and there's a million and one different sets of cutlery. I mean, come on. It's ridiculous, having one knife for cutting the bread, one knife for buttering it, one knife for the steak, and yet another to stab the waiter with.

I know, I'm a culinary phillistine.

Interesting. In the country I was in (Paraguay) they used plastic bottles but if they did something like that in the neighboring countries it might explain why they were so fond of straws.
