Odd Food Habits

Ok, this is one that I think we all find ourselves scratching our heads over sometimes with our own kids so time to share and be confused about other kid's crazy food habits ... my son eats Eggo waffles FROZEN ... no toaster, no microwave he just goes in and eats them as they are straight from the freezer (he is currently 4). I know they are good for teethers but we never did that ... it started around 3 when we moved in with gma and they are a staple in her house especially now. So, what are your kid's crazy food habits or is it just mine?

What can I do next?

My two year old routinely asks for frozen corn and/or peas for breakfast. Frozen, as in not cooked or heated in any way. Straight from the freezer.

My daughter eats raw green beans and raw snap peas - BUT will not eat them cooked. (I have tried them and they are actually quite good raw - I know the snap peas aren't such a stretch, but the beans, I didn't expect!)

I have a friend, who still as an adult, dips french fries in her frosty from Wendy's....

My daughter is 4 but doesn't really have any odd food habits yet. She likes to dip just about everything in ketchup but I think most kids do that.

My mom said that when I was little I used to like to dip french fries in chocolate milkshakes. Yuck!

Whenever my little sis would get to pick a meal it would ALWAYS rhyme...her fave?: macaroni and cheese, fish sticks, and peas! She hated peas, but she would choose them everytime just for a rhyme :)

My son likes frozen waffles, frozen peas, frozen chicken nuggets (pre-cooked). I have NO idea why, and it cracks me up, but I'm just happy he eats. He'll eat a red tomato like it's an apple.

My baby has pretty normal ones I think, mostly everything has to be dipped right now. Then again she's only 2.
I, on the other hand, have always had extremely weird food habits.
Things I still do from childhood are:
I like my french fries dipped in any kind of ice cream, doesn't matter the flavor.
I also have been known to dip chimichangas, and corn dogs in ice cream.
I eat chicken nuggets with honey (at wendy's I dip them in a frostie).
I suck all of the flavoring off of ranch Doritos before I eat the chip.
Those are just a few, there's more. I outgrew a couple of gross things...like pouring a bag of M&M's in a glass of milk then drinking the milk but not eating the M&M's, lol....everyone tought it was gross. My Mom used to always put peanuts in her coca-cola.
My old room mates daughter would go in the fridge and take bites of raw onion, I thought that was pretty gross. Oh she was 3 at the time.

We used to smash white bread slices, roll them up and dip them in orange soda. Kids are so gross and yet so picky about other 'normal' foods.

Not that weird, but my son likes his "veggie sausage" (doesn't like the pork kind) dipped in maple syrup.
