But I harbor judgement against people who say they don't like chocolate. I feel like they're shifty and untrustworthy, because wtf come on, who dislikes all or most chocolate?!

Or they have a bitter aversion, like me. I can't stand chocolate or coffee. I wish I liked coffee!! I also can't eat broccoli rabe, but that hasn't affected my life much.

Ketchup smells horrible, lile a stale fart. I don’t know what it tastes like because I haven’t eaten it in 30 years.

Ketchup, Hamburger Helper, and cigarettes are all nasty Boomer-era things that are finally dying out.

It's sugar and chemicals to disguise food that has no flavor.

Met any Japanese people?

Or Swedish people? They put ketchup on pasta, fish, meat, potatoes.

If you don’t like ketchup, we can be friends. In fact I prefer your company, as you will not hog my ketchup.

Explain to me what is actually wrong about fries being a delivery system for ketchup? Isn't that like saying Kevin the Dominoes driver is a delivery system for pizza? Why is this bad?

No, that's frosting. Ketchup has tomato, vinegar, spices, and sugar. My husband got into the really weird snobby ones that are as much a chutney as they are ketchup. Historically ketchup meant something completely different and artisanal ketchups are closer to that than they are to Heinz.

Thanks PP. Team ketchup (OOP here)

Eating ketchup makes my mouth dry and I get thirsty. It's the same feeling as after eating food with lots of MSG.

Are you kidding? DH doesn't like chocolate. Do you know what that means? He'll never steal my stash!

+1. It’s mustard on hot dogs, ketchup on hamburgers.

+1,000,000.

I also love ketchup with fries. There is a Heinz natural without the corn syrup. I've made ketchup too and that can be great with good fries.

I'm a reverse ketchup snob, I only eat Heinz. It's one of the few things I am very brand conscious about.

I buy the organic ketchup from WF. I like real Dijon mustard, because hey, I'm French.

I don't like store-bought mayo, because once you've tasted the real home-made stuff, you can't go back. Just like home-made whipped cream!

Ketchup is a nonentity for me. I don’t hate it, but I have no attraction to it and never eat it on anything. Feel free to eat it in my presence. Each to her own!

I like ketchup on a corn dog

Not a big fan of ketchup, but the whole "wailing and gnashing of teeth" that you encounter from some people, like with Chicagoans re: hot dogs, is the definition of insufferable.

Like, if you're eating a fucking *hot dog* in the first place, you have no right to look down on anyone for their condiment choices.

I don't "dislike" ketchup per se, but I can't say I really eat it on anything but french fries or maybe a ballpark hot dog. And frankly, if I have a better option, like a good dijon mustard or a homemade aioli, I might take that instead.

If I had to list my favorite condiments, it would be way down the list.

Fries are a delivery system for ketchup.
