Strange eating/cooking habits

    Heard a story today of a chap that used to stick an upopened tin of beans in a saucepan and let it heat up on the stove; he said it used to cook much quicker than emptying it into a pan.

    The chap telling me this said he was in your man's house one day and there was an almighty bang, they thought a truck had hit the garden wall. Turns out your man had stuck a can of beans on the stove and forgotten about it, with beans and sauce now blasted all over the ceiling. He was in the same house a week later and he hadn't cleaned anything; there was still beans plastered to the ceiling.

    My grandfather used to take the tiniest bit of milk in his tea, in that he would dip a teaspoon into the milk, then dip that into the tea and that's all he'd take. He was blind and he'd know by taste if someone had put in too much or none at all.

    My dad hates "white dinners". As in, he'd hate to see mash and fish for example, or roast chicken with cauliflower and white sauce. Lunatic.

    Any other ones?

    When I'm getting a breakfast roll I only get mushrooms on it and ask the person at the deli to scoop the dough out of the roll

    I like to keep the tea bag in my cup of tea, I remember a Co worker seeing it and looked at me in bewilderment.

    What about salmon? Or if it was chipped potatoe?

    I know someone who can make one teabag last a week. They just dip it in for a second and keep it in a mug for the next time.

    I hate nuts of all kind yet I really like peanut butter (has to be smooth mind) and I love nutella although that's more chocolate than nutty anyway.

    I believe peanuts aren't Actually nuts.

    If I'm eating a bar of confectionary I always nibble and suck. Had a Bounty last night so I nibbled all the chocolate off first and then am left with just coconut. Star Bars are great for this technique too as once all the chocolate has been nibbled one is left with a gloriously moreish piece of sticky, nutty caramel to suck on.....nyum. :)

    When making gravy with steak or meat, my family usually adds a cup of tea. (no milk or sugar, and only 1/4 of a cup is used when making the tea so the flavour is strong) .
    Then pour it into the pan with the onions and steak juices and let is simmer for a minute.
    It's amazing

    I like adding a dash of Curry to Beans + Chips.

    OMG!!!

    ETA: A dash of Mustard to Beans as well for Beans & Toast, lovely.

    Seriously try them!

    Personally, if I saw someone doing that I'd get really annoyed. 1. Just eat it!!! and 2. I'm imagining it doesn't look very nice. I'm not giving etiquette lessons, I don't think it's rude, just it would annoy me to watch, it's mainly the first reason though. I hate people who nibble food.

    My mum was telling me about a colleague who suck all the chocolate off her chocolate fingers which just sounds childish, unless you're trying to seduce someone.
