My DH isn't quite that bad.... But there are very few things he can cook, so he ends up doing things like putting peanut butter on pasta to "give it protein." ....
Also if he has any kind of sauce like for dipping or salad dressing, he will drown his food in it. Salads get 1/4c of dressing... French fries are submerged in ketchup... Chicken disappears beneath honey mustard. Not because he's masking the flavor of the food but just because he believes in eating all of what he's given (and you know the sizes of dressings/dips you get at restaurants) and all of what he finds enjoyable to eat.
that's a new one! pizza and mayo don't even sound appetizing together! my dh will eat anything. i can't even watch him sometimes and he likes to have lots of cheese and condiments with his meals. if we are having chicken or turkey or any meat that is "dippable" you can bet he has two or three different sauces in front of him to dip his food in (my daughter is 20 months and is picking up the "dipping" habit). he makes fun of me for mixing ketchup and mayo for french fries (although we haven't had them in a long time) and he is beside me creating odd concoctions of his own. guys are weird
LOL! Thank goodness my honey buns isn't the only one... He and his family have this weird thing about eating their pizza with peanut butter... They dip the crusts in PB and my DH eats it cold the next day smeared with a layer of PB on top... Doesn't matter what kind of pizza, either. So gross...
I love dipping things in sauces...but i'm not quite as bad as some for your DHs.
There is a guy in my office who's eating habbits are beyond disgusting. They are actually disturbing. He drinks 4-6L or 1 gallon of coke a day. He smokes 2 packs a day of unfiltered cigs, today for lunch he had 4 cheeseburges from DQ, 2 orders of onion rings (he was putting onion rings on the burgers, then eating the other order as a side), a fried chicken wrap and a blizzard for dessert. A few weeks ago we were at Boston Pizza for an after work thing. He order an 18 inch meat pizza and added double the cheese, double the meat and even more pepperoni. It phyisically makes me ill to watch him eat b/c his habbits are so bad. His best friend didn't think live to see 40 - that's how bad he eats. Oddly, enough he's not a big guy.
My friend's bf will not eat veggies or fruit. He's the complete opposite of a vegitarian. If a veggie has come in contact with meat he will not eat the meat. For example: We've gone out for dinner and he will not eat an order of wings if the restaurant garnishes the plate with celery and carrots. We'll go out for dinner and he will order a rare steak and nothing else, no veggies, no potatos - just a plate with some meat on it.
I don't think I have really disgusting habits, but I've already eaten some disgusting stuff to win a bet. Like dipping Brie cheese in Nutella (surprisingly, the cheese doesn't have much taste, so it's kind of okay) or piling ham, Swiss cheese, Nutella, cinnamon and strawberry jam on a pancake (here as well, surprisingly, the one who felt sick because of it wasn't even one of those who had eaten... uhm... that).
Some of the replies cracked me up! Guys can be such odd creatures
I'm not going to mention some of the things I've had when I was in the middle of a binge...
My boyfriend has this sandwich that he likes...it's just bread with tomato and mayo. It seems sort of weird to me, but if you were to add some lettuce and cucumber, then it would just be a vegetable sandwich

I'm the one with the strange eating habits around most people I know. I dunno if they're gross, but I have this habit of either mixing everything together or separating it if it's already together. (ie, cheese is separated from pizza and eaten separately, and if I have a plate of rice & mashed potatoes, they are mixed together to be eaten)
Also, everything tastes better smothered by ketchup. >_> To this day, people still joke that ketchup is my favorite vegetable and "do I want any fries with my ketchup?". I don't even cover things with as much ketchup as I used to, but reputations are hard to break.
Edit:
Dreamy - I used to eat "Lettuce Sandwiches" as a kid... same thing except lettuce instead of tomato.
This is making me feel like my boyfriend is not such a weirdo after all. He LOVES Ranch dressing, and will eat it with anything - drowns salads in it, other veggies, raw, sometimes cooked, chicken, LOVES chicken wings so has tons of Ranch with them, sandwiches I don't know what else. In addition to loving Ranch and eating a lot anyway he will sometimes pour more than he means to, but he has the "clean your plate, don't waste it" mentality so will eat it all. I've occasionally see him accidentally put too much salsa on his plate and eat it all too - like 1/2 cup of salsa or Ranch (at least salsa is better for you!).
What is really funny, though, is if he's had any alcohol, he eats even more Ranch. A few days after Thanksgiving my roommates and I had tons of leftover dressing (or stuffing, whichever you call it ) in the fridge. We went to the bar down the road and ended up walking home at 3 AM. BF had been with some friends around the corner, drinking, and had gone to my house and gone to bed while we were still out. We walked in the door and the TV was on, lights blazing, and about six different tupperware containers of dressing, extra apple pie filling, and something else (I forget) were open on the counter with little leftover Ranch puddles in them! He was passed out in bed, snoring up a storm. My roommates and I laughed so hard, and decided to nickname him "The Ranch Bandit". He said he left the food out b/c he thought we'd have the munchies.
Well, not that the food itself is disgusting, but my DH will sit at the table and QUITE HAPPILY eat his KD (with Tabasco and Ketchup on) straight out of the pot. I've given up on changing that - just so long as he eats it all and doesn't expect to share it with me anymore!
My bf is another concocter (sp?), he will put ketchup, ranch, mustard, mayo, hot sauce all together on anything (including eggs!). He puts ranch on anything edible too. His food looks like this volcano of brownish tan fluid erupted all over his plate!! And he says I am weird for putting ketchup on my eggs or not putting ketchup on my hot dog!! The things he decides to mix together sometimes totally grosses me out, so I just don't watch!! Men are definitely weird when it comes to condiments!
Gross eating habits!
