international can be tricky... funny quick story:

driving to Doha Qatar from Abu Dhabi UAE and during Ramadan makes picking a place to chow difficult.  I was starving and on day three without a bite. passing a road side stand with a literal bus load of Indian migrant workers lined up meant i'd found one of the few concessions's the Saudi's would allow during Ramadan (wink wink- it wasn't 'authorized')... i swooped in an snatched up a few sticks of kabobs and a bottled (sealed) soda.  no sooner than the feisty little hunger beast left me i realized there was a 99+% chance i just poisoned myself- but it never happened. 

during Ramadan Muslim's party and feast all night long, and fast (which is to say they sleep) during the daylight hours. water is the only thing you'll want to be seen consuming, else they take serious offense which leads to basically a whoopin.  

nearing the end of that same ramadan (this was just prior to kicking off the invasion of Iraq) i was in a similar situation but this time in an airport, landing in Dubai.  There was a starbucks so i made a bee-line to it and caught the workers pulling the food out of the case and about to shut down for the day (likely 7am or so)... I snatched up the last chicken salad pita they had and a coffee... the next day it struck me hard- i was afraid i was going to die- then i was afraid i wasn't going to die.. after much loss of bodily fluid, i pulled through. 

weird thing about it: the roadside (most likely contraband) kabobs didn't cause any grief whatsoever... but a starbucks?  it was bad, y'all.  real bad. 

Dubai is an interesting place to get various cultures foods- everything from Mediterranean to Mexican, Far East to Scandinavian... I once had Camel tenderloins there- because.... well... just because.. have ya'll ever seen that on the menu before?  

I'd still do that if single.  7:30 is the absolute earliest I enjoy eating.  I haven't eaten breakfast other than as an event since I was probably 9, and lunch is small or not at all.

I almost never go to bed before 12:30, otherwise I'd be the same.  Once I eat I'm done.  I might have some popcorn around 9 if I'm hungry but nothing after.  If I went to bed earlier than that I wouldn't eat late.  But obviously eating late also prevent snacking.  I almost never snack during the day, but late night is when it hits.  Eating late curbs that.

I'm not a "breakfast" food person. I've spent my whole life eating "lunch/dinner" foods in the morning. Lots of people, including my wife, think this was not normal. Some still do, but she doesn't.

When we were in Europe, she found out I'm perfectly normal. They do make "American breakfast" over there - for Americans.

I'm exactly the same way.  Everyone else is weird for setting aside only certain foods for certain meals.  Yes, I may want a burger or a sandwich or a burrito at 8am.  No, that is not weird.  Only eating bacon in the morning is weird.  Only eating certain things at certain times is weird.
It should be good you enjoy 24/7.

I remember my babysitter when I was 7-8 years old dipping Pringles chips in mustard.  That's just straight salt, yeeesh.  


The only other thing I remember about her is she'd lay out and tan a lot.  I was only a kid, but I couldn't take my eyes off her then, she was bangin'.

Thought this might be an interesting off season topic.  Got any?  Know anyone who does?  For the most part I’m not a picky eater with a few notable exceptions (Brussel sprouts, pickled beets) but in a previous career I worked with a guy who had the most childlike appetite of anyone I’ve ever met.

This guy wouldn’t touch a green vegetable.  Would only eat a “salad” (I use that term loosely) if it were strictly iceberg lettuce swimming in ranch dressing.  Nothing else.  No other kind of lettuce.  If he got an entree at a restaurant that came with two sides he would commonly ask for French fries and mashed potatoes.

Most of the time if we went to a restaurant his first question was usually “Do you have cheeseburgers” regardless of how nice the place was or what they specialized in.  He was also a big fan of chicken tenders, cheese sticks, and grilled cheese sandwiches.  He would eat steak or grilled chicken but would only eat the steak if it were ridiculously well done.  We were somewhere once and I ordered chilean sea bass and he proudly announced the only fish he ate was Long John Silver’s.

You ever know anyone like that?

I think I know that guy. I worked once with a guy from the Newark Ohio area that sounds exactly like the person you are describing. 

I don't think I have any weird eating habits.  There are some foods I'm not particularly fond of, like pickles and olives, but I don't think I eat in any unusual way.

I know a guy who has to eat all of one thing on his plate, before he'll go on to the next.  Me, I just meander back and forth among all of the different foods.

I also know at least a couple of people that don't like the different foods on their plate to touch each other.  I don't really have a problem with that, in fact eating Tex-Mex would be pretty much impossible if I made that rule for myself.

that's me. don't know why. i guess because i like to go in order of what i like best. if i'm going to fill up before finishing plate, i want to be full on what i like best.
i know a elderly lady that does that, but to extreme. she orders desert first, and if still hungry a meal. probably not the most healthy thing, but she's mid-80's, she can do as she pleases as far as i'm concerned.
my bro in law is chicken and few veggies only type guy. he'll eat steaks on rare occasion. and boiled hotdogs.
my kids are, thankfully, not picky eaters. in fact, all of them pick a local sushi place for the birthday meals, which seems odd to me for 4-9 yo's. they love sushi. my middle son, 7yo, will eat non-stop, and i mean that literally. we have to make him stop eating for fear he'll balloon up with health issues later.
