Little Known Lloyd Fact #28: Lloyd does not like to eat the end of a sugar snap pea that he is holding as he eats it. He calls them “pea butts” and leaves them on his plate. Here’s the kicker – it isn’t always the same end of the pea pod. Isn’t that a little hypocritical? Huh? Am I right or am I right or am I right?
Lloyd's Mom says
Stems from breaking beans to put up. Old habits are hard to break. I probably would do the same.
Brad says
Perhaps you could find some recipe that uses the left-over pea butts. Or, better yet, some recipe that uses whole sugar snap peas that you trick Lloyd into eating. Ha!
Deanne says
vegetable broth? But you could only make about a teaspoon with that amount of pea-butts. Hmmm…
Annette says
Could you waffle them??
Lloyd says
Just to set the record straight, it is always the same side of the peapod that is discarded.
Beth says
While I do eat pea butts, I certainly understand where Lloyd is coming from. I don’t eat the okra butts.
Deanne says
I don’t eat okra period.
Annette says
So you’re NOT a butt man, eh?
Karla says
I can’t drink white milk from a white cup -- they’re never the same shade of white and does that mean that one is dirty? I feel your pain, Lloyd.
Peggy says
HA!! I feel so much better about my eating habits now…I only like to drink milk out of a clear glass…
Mark says
Be nice to him, sis. You were the one who said ‘Yes’ when he proposed! ,’)
Lloyd says
I think it was in quotes when she said it too.
Brad says
I didn’t know this would be “true confessions” about food eating. Here’s (one of) mine: When I drink from a glass, I always drink from the same spot. I don’t like multiple lip marks all around the edge.
Beth says
HA! Me, too. Must be genetic. Let’s ask Brent.
Karla says
I’m like that too, but I’m not saying that I’m part of the Royuk family… I also can’t rotate my plate after I’ve started eating. If my corn is at 2 o’clock and my ham is at 9, it has to stay that way.
Christina says
I can see how Beth could tell (lipstick) but how do you tell where you drank from the glass??? Are you wearing lipstick as well?
Peggy says
Actually I don’t have any weird eating habits.
karla says
Are you just saying that because you’re seeing how weird the rest of us are?
Peggy says
No, I’ve just never had any strange habits of any kind.
Brad says
HA! Peggy is the wierdest eater I’ve ever known.

Lauren says
Perhaps, but he didn’t seem to have any trouble scarfing down the pizza he touched.
