I've been told I have some weird eating habits, and they mostly seem to revolve around eating more of some things than other people think is prudent.

Sour cream - I can have a grand time just eating the stuff with a spoon. My wife and kids both think it's weird and only put a dollop on things. I can eat sliced fruit and sour cream by the bowlful.

Carmelized onions - I can just eat these by themselves, and when I put them on things like a burger, I pile on enough that some will fall off and get eaten by themselves.

Those are what come to mind at the moment - anyone else care to share?

Local raw unfiltered honey, which I'm glad comes in a small jar since I can wreck shop on it.
Nice mention on the onions. Bought some grass fed liver for the grill yesterday but spaced out buying the onions.

Is it weird to not think your weird things are weird?

I can go for many days, even weeks, eating the same thing.
One time I only ate pizza for about 45 days.
It was a challenge from my husband. He didn’t think I could do it.
It was so easy, I could have done 60 days.

I like what I like and can eat it forever.
 
My old man opens the fridge and makes a sandwich out of anything he sees. The combinations are endless and often nauseating. When my cousin Harry was a baby, and not that far into solids, his favourite foods were mashed olives, mashed pickles and mashed salami. Clearly he'd got stuck into the hors d'oeuvres somewhere. If his bottle had gin and tonic it wouldn't have surprised me

Anchovies. Oil packed, salt cured, in chili... Doesn't matter. Straight out of the can or jar, or on toast or crackers with some butter or mayo (or sour cream @Steve Freides ?). Yum. Luckily my wife agrees.

Probably not many people will be with me on this one but that's the point of this thread haha
 
NO!!!

I think other people are weird for not loving pickled ginger AS MUCH AS I do with sushi... or without...

Pickled ginger overtakes the biscuit...

Neither a side dish, nor a condiment but I eat wholenut peanut butter with sliced banana on wholemeal toast at least once per day. If I'm trying to gain weight, I'll have it before bedtime.

@Steve Freides got me thinking about the kind of onions you get from burger/hot dog vans: There's something about onion that's cooked in the charred remnants of previously cooked onions that makes them more special than anything you could easily recreate at home.

I would happily order a hot dog with extra onions, no sauce and no hot dog.

My younger son and I, a few years back, when we were looking at colleges for him, were sitting at dinner at our hotel - all of the appetizers on the menu looked great, and none of the main courses seemed terribly interesting, so we ordered and shared 6 appetizers for our dinner. That's my idea of a fun meal. I still sometimes have a midday snack of crackers and whatever I find that looks like it would taste good on them.

(If I could spell hor d'oeuvres without having to look it up, I might call them that.)

I love PB and bananas. I also eat PB out of the jar, again as something as a snack if I'm hungry midday. We buy the organic, no-anything-added PB, so I take a big spoonful and sprinkle as much sea salt as I can get to stick on it, and eat that with a cup of coffee.

@DuncanGB I must say, I find these puns you're serving up to be fairly tasteless, or a trifle unsavoury to say the least. Much as it pains me to dish out such harsh criticism, I hope you'll find food for thought in my remarks rather than just think I'm being salty (although I'm sure you've got a lot on your plate as it is). After all, we should relish any opportunity we have to broaden our palates.
