I don’t think that is unusual at all! Mustard on soft or hard pretzels is how I learned to eat them !

I prefer my ice cream melted. Milkshakes all the way.
I also drink flavored coffee (vanilla or chocolate) with lots of cream (no sugar). My husband says I don’t actually drink coffee.

I enjoy ice cream, but it must remain frozen – when it gets melty/melted, it can make me gag, so I will throw away the melted portion. There is one caveat to this: if there is a delicious melting agent on the ice cream causing it to melt, like hot fudge, I will eat even the melted ice cream. But if it’s melted because it’s just sitting around, I won’t touch the melted portion. (I’m weird; this is just the tip of the iceberg…)
Also: I know that a lot of people like cold pizza, but I am not one of them. I will nuke it for 30-60 seconds before devouring it.

On an early date my now-husband made me “Thai peanut noodles.”
Friends, he made a box of Kraft Mac and Cheese - complete with the orange powder - and stirred in chunky peanut butter and called it done.
I couldn’t eat it. We went out for subway instead. Unsurprisingly, I do all the cooking in our relationship.

Other parts of the country seem to think it’s weird. I think it’s completely the only way to eat them!
But…I’ve never dipped them in water ice!
You mean that’s a bad thing? 
I did that as a kid, too.

Also, I live in CA now and absolutely cannot get an ice cream soda made with selzer. They can only offer sprite or other sweetened sodas. To me that’s a total food crime – but not one I indulge in!

I can’t stand ketchup and never eat it. Some will think that is a crime.

Mine isn’t mixing food, but I prefer to eat my pizza by eating all the topping off first, then folding and eating the bread/sauce. If there are some toppings left over, that’s fine. But in general, I always pull them off first.
However, I only do this when I eat solo or with my family of 4. In social settings I will eat it like a normal human.

An old Zits comic strip that i have never forgotten refers to the main character’s coffee order as a candy bar in a cup!

When I was a kid, I’d pour Rice Krispies in a bowl, add milk, and then add a layer of sugar. I’d eat all the sugar, then add more sugar. Rinse and repeat. Occasionally I’d get a Rice Krispy by mistake.
But I’m a big girl now. I add butter, cinnamon and sugar to alphabet noodles. That’s my comfort food.

When I was a kid, one of my favorite lunches was a sandwich of potted meat (similar to deviled ham spread) with chunked pickles on top.

In high school my lunch was a ziplock of dried beef slices. I added mustard. Mind you this was completely by choice.

D2’s boyfriend eats cold, dry cereal with warm milk. That kind of gags me! He insists it’s not trying to be oatmeal!

I used to think I was the only person in the world who likes chunky peanut butter and crisp bacon on hot toast for breakfast. (So much fat!), but weirdly a friend of mine ( who’s a dietitian) also grew up eating the same thing and still loves it.

Isn’t that the way you’re supposed to eat soft pretzels? It’s always how we ate them in my family.

Not if you dislike yellow mustard, as I do. (Oops. I guess that’s weird to many.)

According to some people, the fact that I like my steak medium-well is a crime

Not sure about the US as I don’t really eat cereal in hotels anymore, but when I was growing up elsewhere hotels would often put warm milk out with the (cold*) cereal. (Of course, it’s also almost impossible to get warm milk for coffee in the US whereas it’s often the norm elsewhere.) anyway, so I don’t find warm milk with cereal odd at all.
*many other places “cereal” is always dry and cold. What Americans call hot cereal is called porridge.
