27 Foods That People Insist Are Sooo Much Better The "Wrong" Way
Sometimes, when it comes to food, you just might find that the "right" way to prepare a dish doesn't really do it for you. Recently, people on Reddit shared some foods that they love to eat the "wrong" way. Some of them sound kinda genius, and some of them sound like crimes against food. Here's what people had to say:
1."I like to put diced green apples in my guacamole. I know it sounds wrong, but the vegetal crunch and the tart sweetness go so well!!"

2."I love mushy rice. Individual grain stuff just doesn't do it for me."
3."Pizza. I eat the crust first because I don't want to finish the pizza with crust."
4."I prefer chocolate chip cookies without chocolate chips."
5."I'll sometimes cook instant ramen with just enough water that when I take it off the stove and put seasoning in, it absorbs all the water. Then, I shovel it in as a shot of sodium directly into my bloodstream."
6."I like my hot sauce cold. I know it doesn't need refrigeration, but I like the temperature contrast."
7."My preferred way to eat bananas is when they're green to the point where most people wouldn't enjoy them. To me, they're just less sweet and have a better texture."
8."I've eaten Indian food for years, and it was only upon marrying an Indian woman that I learned that I am not supposed to take all my favorite ingredients and make a naan burrito."
9."I eat KitKats by biting the chocolate edges off. Then, when it’s just the wafer layers left, I eat it layer by layer."
10."I love a pie with a soggy bottom. The more raw-textured dough is like eating cookie dough to me. (I would definitely lose the Great British Bake Off.)"
11."I sometimes order pizza early just to put the whole thing in the fridge so I can have cold ‘leftover’ pizza in the evening."
12."The looks I've gotten for eating a kiwi like an apple. The skin is delicious."
13."Cold hotdogs without a bun = perfect snack."
14."Dr. Dew. Half Dr. Pepper, half Mountain Dew."
15."Bacon should not be crispy. It should be floppy, damn it. I want it moving like a hound's ear in a wind storm."
16."I like my scrambled eggs well done. The texture should be rubbery, not soft and mushy. The French style of scrambled eggs that are soft and wet just grosses me out."
17."Instant ramen as a dry snack. Just crush it up in the packaging, add the seasoning/oils, and munch away!"
18."When I eat pizza I take all the toppings off and put them in a pile, eat the crust, the nice soft stuff that still has a bit of sauce on it, throw away the hard edge crust. When I'm all done eating the crust, I eat toppings with a fork."
19."I love boiled, soft Brussels sprouts that can be mushed up with a fork. I'll gladly take them over roasted or grilled Brussels sprouts, or someone's salad they've attempted to make using them as little cabbages."
20."I chop all my salads (store-bought or otherwise) using scissors and then use a spoon to eat them. So much tidier."
21."I just bite string cheese sticks like a banana."
22."I love melted ice cream."
23."I like savory French toast. Keep the sugar and syrup; I want mine with black pepper."
24."Peanut butter with cereal. Put a big scoop of creamy peanut butter (cheap stuff like Jif works best for this) on the side of the bowl. Eat a little bit of peanut butter on your spoon for each bite. It’s wonderful."
25."Love when chips/crisps go stale. There’s a 'chewiness' to it that I like."
26."I eat burgers/hotdogs with fork and knife, as well as any and all restaurant-made sandwiches."
27.And finally, "I eat the meat out of a burger first and then have a tomato onion sandwich. Growing up, my mom hated that I did that and was forced to eat it 'normal.' I got very good at putting the burger to my lips and pulling the meat out with my teeth without ripping it."
