Do you have unusual eating habits, incl food fads?

I do that too, my family are used to it now and so sometimes I forget how odd I must look smelling all the cutlery before I use it. I am particularly odd with spoons. I have my own cutlery that is just for me and my own plastic plates and dishes. In my own flat I have labels on my big spoons so I never stir soup and porridge with the same spoon. Once my boyfriend used one of the mugs to make gravy in and now I can't use any of them as they are all the same colour and I don't know which one it was. Luckily he has now bought me a mug just for me and promised not to use it. I always ask for the paper cups if I go to Starbucks and then feel very guilty about the environment.

I wish I could change all of this, it seems to absurd when I can see it written down. It is quite embarrassing for me. My boyfriend told his family that I have 'psychological issues' and they have been very polite and never mentioned anything, even when I have gone to their house and eaten nothing but I dread going into situations where people will comment on my eating. I have tried very hard to fix this, and it is traumatic and impossible.

I'm a very picky eater. I'm also vegetarian. I bluntly refuse to eat onion, cooked or raw, because the taste makes me retch. That goes for ANY type of onion. I also won't eat eggs unless they're in something. I won't eat them on their own. I have to eat my food in a particular order. My "meat" first, then potato, then broccoli, then carrot, then beans, then peas. If it's all mixed together, I'll always pick out and individually eat at least one or two ingredients.

Not really but I dislike tomatoes, mushrooms and raw fish. I do not like food for leftovers that are more than one or two days old. I also am careful about expired food and if I am in doubt that it is expired I will not eat it. During the week and often on weekends I eat the same food for breakfast since it is easier and I am usually in a hurry. For lunch I may eat the same foods from week to week and it depends. If I get a pizza or salad it is comical because I take out or take off several of the ingredients. For example, I like personal pizza supreme and will take off the mushrooms and some or all of the sausage and sometimes most of the onion. Then when I get a salad I take out the tomatoes, the olives, and the onions. I do like tomatoes in salsa or brushcetta and like ketchup, I just dislike plain, raw tomatoes.

I have a LOT of food issues, some of them being not able to eat cut pickles or olives, even if I cut them myself. then there's textures and flavors, and smells, and looks.

the foods I do eat are easier to list then the ones I don't

I can't eat food someone other than my mother has made. Seriously.

I like to eat the same stuff over and over again (a big duh! there from the ASD forum).

I hate mixing stuff together; food needs to be separate on the plate.

me too!

though i think my only "weird" food habit is suddenly (overnight) becoming vegetarian.

at first i thought it would be hard, but now i can't even stand the thought of eating meat.

i think i may have talked myself into it a bit
