Even number eating
When I eat food which is delivered in a discrete manner - for example sausages, toast, biscuits, eggs - I have to eat an even number of them. Usually two or four... but then for some reason six can be an issue, so eight is the next acceptable number. Eating three sausages leaves me feeling odd, but four sausages fine. Five biscuits will cause me to become a little anxious, eight not so.

It's bizarre because I am not fussy in anything else in my life being a messy SOB who eats anything.

Oh my goodness.......
I swear I did not read this before I posted my above post.

I posted mine 3 minutes after yours, but it took me a good 10 minutes to write it as I had to get up to get my daughter a drink halfway through typing!

Spooky!

Mind you, I can eat 3 sausages, but each sausage has to be cut into 4 pieces, so 3 sausages becomes 12 pieces of the same size. :)

Never eat in a michelin star restaurant....
The rule of thumb is that everything is laid out in three or fives!

I used to do this.
Small foods (crisps, M&Ms, etc.) would be eaten in fours, downsizing to twos once the end of the pack approached.

Not anymore, though.
