What strange eating habits did you have when you were a child?

I really had some strange eating habits when I was a kid!

Because at that time, farmers’ families had just become wealthy, and my parents also accumulated a little wealth through small business. But people of that era were used to saving money and were always reluctant to spend it. So when parents see particularly expensive things, they are always reluctant to buy them, including fruits and vegetables. I remember that they always buy some crooked melons and split dates, because such fruits are very cheap and you can buy a lot for one dollar.

?Although these fruits are no longer fresh, I still eat them with relish. And you have to squeeze out all the nutrients in the food to be satisfied! My rather peculiar eating habits include the following. I wonder if those born in the 1980s like me have ever had such an experience.

1. I never peel the grapes when eating them, but the grape skins are very hard and difficult to swallow. But I thought the grape skin was particularly delicious, so I kept biting the grape skin in my mouth until it tasted no more before spitting it out.

2. I believe everyone knows about spiced melon seeds. This was the most common and cheapest snack when I was a child, and it is also a relatively high-end snack! After I eat the melon seeds, I always feel reluctant to spit them out. Sometimes I even think the skins are more fragrant than the seeds. So I will happily put the melon seed peel in my mouth and chew it for a while. While chewing, I will also inhale the fragrance inside the melon seed peel. I will not spit it out until the melon seed peel is chewed into pieces.

3. I will eat steamed buns and watermelon together, because food such as bread did not exist when I was young, so when I was hungry, I could only eat steamed buns to satisfy my hunger. But it’s hard to swallow the steamed buns if they are eaten dry. If there is watermelon at home at this time, I will eat the watermelon and the steamed buns at the same time. I think this is very delicious, why don’t you try it too!
