No, I did not teach that little food quirk to Celeste, it apparently is an only child thing! LOL! Mom has said many times that Celeste reminds her of me at that age...of course, she has said it since Celeste was a tiny thing! I'm comforted with the fact that she reminds them of me & she is the surrogate granddaughter, that I, more than likely, will not be giving them. With me, they have to settle for 4 legged furry grandcats! ,,,^..^,,, Anyway, I'm off the food subject. Mom reminded me of another one, I used to do. I would spread Cool Whip on a piece of bread, slap another piece on top & would have myself a Cool Whip sandwich! It doesn't sound so good now though! I have outgrown some of my food idiosyncrasies, but I had to do it on my own terms. Dad learned early that bribing, forcing, conjoling, nothing worked. Mom always said it was a control thing for me with him. Sound familiar? =) Hey Karin!

The list of foods I will eat is much shorter than for the foods I refuse to eat. And Dutch, it's best to slice the apples very thinly, then layer on the peanut butter on the other slice of bread, then join the slices. Yummy. Bessers, I like PB and fritos on plain bread and I kind of "crunch" the sandwich down, so bits of Frito are sticking out. I'll have to try the hamburger bun approach. Sounds tasty. dutchnzoey and bessersothrgrl, I am also a very picky eater. The list of foods I will eat is much shorter than for the foods I refuse to eat.

(I crack up every time I see that name.) I can't wait to get Celeste to read all these. Your mom always said you were the only person she knew that was as picky an eater as Celeste. Wait 'til she sees the things you DO eat. The chocolate fudge pop tarts with butter -- that sounds delicious to me. I can't fathom what the shake and apple pie combo would taste like so I'm just going to have to try it. By the way, Celeste does the fries in her shake thing, too. Did you teach her that?

Being an extremely picky eater, I grew up on peanut butter & Frito sandwiches. I don’t know about the other blogger who also eats these but I put mine on hamburger buns because I don’t like the Fritos poking through the bread. But other than that, my main particularities with food were texture and smell, but we won’t go there. I have a friend who eats pork rinds with BBQ sauce, the same friend likes to shove her McD’s apple pie to the bottom of her chocolate shake while it’s still hot My cousin eats ketchup on her green beans My Mom makes a homemade chocolate cake that I adore eating in a bowl with milk poured over it I also like old popcorn…not burnt though, yuck! Just sit it on the stove & eat it for breakfast, BUT it has to be REAL popcorn, not that microwave stuff! Chocolate fudge pop-tarts, toasted, poke holes in it with a fork/knife & spread with butter, margarine, whatever and then use the knife to peel back the frosting, eat it alone & then scrape out the chocolate buttery goo eat it & then the crust last….YUUMMMM…. I like to dip my French fries into a chocolate shake Someone I used to know liked to dip his garlic bread into French dressing Raw chocolate chip dough….no longer lethal since eggs are pasteurized! My Dad eats peanut butter, fried egg, Miracle Whip and cheese on toasted bread sandwiches. He eats peanut butter on his hamburgers with his Miracle Whip, cheese, ketchup, onions, lettuce; the works. He will also put a blob on the side of his plate if he is eating something he doesn’t particularly like & take bites in between bites of whatever he doesn’t like. Mom said that she learned that early in their marriage! My paternal grandmother also made her rice with milk & sugar. My Mom had to learn how to do it that way too. She knew she had it the day Dad declared it ‘as good as Mom’s’….I have never tried it, I have just snarled my nose at it as did the other blogger’s kid!

We called it rice pudding, although it's not what most people think of as rice pudding. Speaking of rice pudding, Sitar's of India has the absolute best. I'm craving it in a big way right now.

His mother fixed it for him as a child, and he kept his taste for it as he grew older. Everyone else in the family was repulsed by it!

Since there were no luxuries in any area of their lives, including food, my grandmother would cook white rice. After it was done she would scoop some in a bowl, mix with sugar and milk. Instant cereal. Needless to say, my mom fixed it for her children as well. When feeling a little extra sassy, she would mix chocolate syrup in it too. We loved it. I have made it for my family. My husband likes it but my six-year-old snarls her face up at anything that is out of the norm or not served in a paper bag. She would have never survived the depression.

I am glad to hear that I am not the only one that likes potted meat with mayo on white bread sandwiches. Unlike you though, I refuse to know what is in it. If I read the labels for half the food I eat, I probably would not eat very much. (And for someone that is already extremely picky that is not good). I also love apples with peanut butter! I will hae to try them on a sandwich. Eviltwinswife, I think we have a lot of strange food things in common.
