I have 4 silly food behaviors that I still do, or would do if my diet allowed:
1. eat the cookie of Keebler fudge stripe cookies in tiny bites, all the way around, to make a thinnest cookie ring, then munch the ring
2. Pell the outer skin of a skinless hot dog with my teeth, from one end to the other, until there is just the inner meat.
3. When eating a sandwich, especially nut butter and ,,,, I eat the crust first, all the way around, and continue inwards until the final bite is the center of the sandwich, though this one isn't so silly as it minimizes any drips.
4. When eating corn on the cob, I eat the corn like the crows did in the Woody Woodpecker cartoons, starting at the small end, scraping off kernels from right to left for the length of the cob, chewing up that big mouthful, then turning the cob slightly to get the next three rows, eaten the same way, and repeat. I don't make the sound of the old typewriter carriage return though
5. I know I said 4 things, but this one is not silly at all. Though I love most foods, like everyone else, I have favorites with every meal I save my favorite food on the plate for last, so that the flavor of that food is the one that lingers . Sometimes it's something like mashed rutabaga, with brown sugar and butter, sometimes its a piece of desert, sometimes it's that crusty, buttered bread, used to soak up a great spaghetti sauce, sometimes it's the beverage. I just depends on the meal
My kids loved was to take a plastic straw, insert one end into a hot wiener, cover the other end with a thumb to create a vacuum, and remove a plug of meat, They would then suck the plug through the straw, and munch it.
I taught them that one as we were waiting for an hour for their mother to get out of a target store, and we were in a hot van, in El Cajon summer heat. Their Mom was terrible at that, She'd say that she was only going in for a gallon of milk and would be right out. She always took an hour, or more to get hat gallon of milk,
I needed something to distract, and entertain the kids. Their Mom threw a fit about me teaching the kids to play with food. We had a long discussion about it after the kids were in bed that night. I stuck to my guns on that one. My youngest daughter still likes to play with her food, and teaches her girls to do the same. I'm so proud of her,
Does anyone else still celebrate the child within?
