Salt, pepper, season to ones personal taste. Condiments may, if one chooses, may include any sauce of one's preference. I personally like ketchup, tartar sauce, most of the various Tabasco flavors, malt vinegar, Wasabi and low sodium soy sauce, among others.

Did that this morning! Fried potatoes, onions, bell pepper. Dropped egg (over very easy) on top. A drizzle of ketchup and a dash or ten of Tabasco (I love Tabasco). Great, easy to fix, way to start your day. 🥵🥵🥵

Crispy, hot, not gummy or greasy, agree 100%. I also like for the batter to be a light batter, not a thick batter. Old-school has your order come in either a "brick" or a "half-brick" and when you pull one ring up from the batch, it starts to crumble, revealing a peek at the soft, translucent onion inside.

Anything you put on it is - well your own preference. But a properly made batch of rings shouldn't "need" any condiment or seasoning at all. It should be able to stand on its own merit.

You hit the nail on the head! "Properly made! Needs nothing else! But I still have a little adventure left in me, so I like to try new things with my food. Sadly, I'm just to old (and scared) and sensible to try a wing suit.

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 ?

Having grown up in Pittsburgh, toured the plant when a brownie scout (back when the insurance companies didn't care), and received a pickle pin to wear on my blouse and a little cup of tomato juice, I will only eat Heinz ketchup. That other kind--is it Hunts?--blech!! Watery. Tasteless.
I don't know why people put ounces of creamer in their coffee, but I confess to having dumped tons of sugar on a bowl Grape Nuts. Not for decades, but yummmm.

Agree. Heinz is a quality product. Hunts is embarrassing

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.

That's your opinion. No one over the age of 10 should be making posts like this.

If you have a chance to fly in a balloon and you never have before, take it. Even I, who had a fear of heights, found it to be incredibly relaxing, and thrilling, both at the same time.

I used to be a bit of a daredevil. But that was long ago. Once I would have loved it, but now I doubt I will have the opportunity.

What do we know so far:

Apparently, it's OK to use it before the age of 10
It's "haram" in certain religions
It belongs on hamburgers and fries, but not hot dogs
The best hot dogs are either Nathans or Sabrett's
Some people like ketchup, others don't
Some people use even stranger condiments on fries
There is a 10 post tangent on "old bay"

I've read and participated in this thread, and I can feel my IQ dropping by the minute

Kosher dogs deserve a mention, not to mention people put all kinds of weird stuff on their dogs.

Nah! But he's almost down to mine.
Mom bought catsup. I grew up on that. A taste of home. Wife gets what is on sale. Last on sale was Heinz. At a restaurant, you get what they have, even if it is bulk used to refill the Heinz bottle on the table, which some apparently do. Like Coke or Pepsi, you get the cola they have.
