Had it. Prefer a couple dashes of Tabasco to brighten things up a bit. Tabasco scorpion sauce if I'm the only one eating whatever the dish is.

Disagree 0n onion rings. Most places don't make them crispy enough. Malt vinegar, even catsup can help make them more palatable.

I stand by my opinion.

See so many adults slathering it on everything before they even taste their food. Why put on a sugary/vinergar glop on perfectly good tasting food.

But I love ketchup!😢

It wouldn't have been quite so bad if the water had been boiled.
But tea in cold water!!! :ohdear:

We love Iced Tea too!!!!

So you are also against iced tea? Barbaric I must say.

Tea is made with boiling water, drinking it cold is fine, but you cannot steep tea properly to bring out the flavor in cold water, it's, it's....................just not done!
It's like adding ice or water to a good whiskey. :icon_wink:

To further horrify you: we frequently make iced tea in COLD water. We get a large jar, fill it with water, & put TEA BAGS in it. Then once steeped we put it in glasses with ice cubes. We call it cold brew & we are foolish enough to believe it not only tastes better, but retains more healthy plant compounds. (Did that sound nice & Californian?)

Personal preference (especially here in the south where we're from ) perhaps ?

Why do people put ounce after ounce of "creamer" in their coffee, or multiple spoons of sugar on bowls of already mainly sugar breakfast cereal ?

We use a lot of ketchup, and much prefer the Heintz type with no sugar, all a matter of taste and the habits of the location where one grew up maybe ?

Maybe you should stay out of restaurants, that way you won't need to worry about what anyone else is or isn't eating.

Oh my goodness, surely this person is only spoofing people to have fun on "social media", no one, not even the "most picky" person could possibly care what others put on their food. To be "disgusting" or "sickening" it would have to be some NON food, NON edible put on the food ! We raised in the south folks put ketchup on so many things, but when we lived in Europe we tried the mayo served with FRENCH FRIES, I found it very good actually !

Probably not a good choice of retirement locations for a sophisticated palate, unless golf choices are a much more compelling reason !

I mean, is tomato paste actually comfortable in the presence of garlic?

A VERY pressing issue considering the state of world affairs at present, but yes, inquiring minds would like to know, myself among them !

Rush! My ALL time favorite music group. Talented, intelligent and high integrity guys. Not that common among progressive rock or heavy metal groups. Nice to see someone else on here who does not mind Geddy’s screeching voice… his own mother had trouble with it.

Back to food. Someone commented on garlic and tomato sauce. I use roasted garlic from my oven in several recipes… when I am not going to socialize later. Garlic gets into your blood and pores and if you eat enough, the smell is very hard to get rid of. But it ramps up your immunity system too. And it’s delicious!

Can you put ketchup on over easy eggs?
