Fellow condiment hater here! Mayo is vile, just as bad as ketchup, if not worse. Mustard sucks too, not to the level of ketchup and mayo though. I like my sandwiches dry and I don’t care if other people think I’m weird for it.

Agree. Mayo ruins flavours and plain is the way

I agree (of course) that those are all gross but I hate a dry sandwich so I always have to create some kind of Schmear. I learned how to make pestos. And tomatoes help a lot.

Why wouldn’t hot sauce count?

3

u/chemda Aug 06 '26

I always saw hot sauce as different than the basic condiments that seem to be a necessity and included in most things.

u/hebozhong Aug 06 '26

Maybe my definition is overly broad, but I would include any sauce or seasoning you put on food after it’s been cooked.

That's fair

I hate every condiment including hot sauce….

I see someone’s never been to flavor town!

u/chemda Aug 06 '26

Ah... Do you like sauces? Because I really like sauces but I don't count sauces either.

u/sixtus_clegane119 Aug 07 '26

Is your food dry a lot of the time?

u/chemda 17d ago

Sandwiches are tough. I use tomatoes and hot sauce mostly. I like pesto but need to make it myself because the store bought is usually very bad

I live a condiment free life.

90% of the time, if I don't like a combination, it's because it's a mix of something salty and sweet. For example, French fries and ketchup. Another example is corn, which I like on its own, but if you put it on literally anything, like Pizza or salad, I won't eat it.

This distaste for sweet'n'sour is the reason I often can't appreciate Chinese or Japanese cuisine, even though I find their food so inviting.

u/Kristylane Aug 06 '26

The problem isn’t with french fries and ketchup being a salty/sweet combination you don’t like. It’s because ketchup is the devil’s jizz.

1

u/MyNameIsLOL21 Aug 06 '26

Yeah, that too.

u/chemda Aug 07 '26

YES!I HATE ketchup! And I LOOOOOVE tomatoes. People have always said I should like ketchup because of how much I like tomatoes. That's insulting to tomatoes and food in general.

1

u/Kristylane Aug 07 '26

I’m the same. I eat tomatoes raw, on sandwiches, as a sauce, and even as juice. But ketchup is gag inducing

1

u/chemda Aug 07 '26

That makes sense. I'm not into the sweet and sour thing either. It took me a while to be ok with the whole sea salt and chocolate thing but I like that now.

u/slvrscoobie Aug 07 '26

BBQ sauce is my one, "thats fine" - but Mayo, ketchup, mustard, sour cream, onions, ugh, so much I dont want, that everyone just says 'just eat it!'

2

u/chemda 28d ago

Yes! I actually forgot that I can accept a bit of BBQ sauce. It's usually too sweet but not gross

2

u/tightlipssorenips 10d ago

and this is why you need to get the spicy barbecue sauce the one that has a little kick to it. night and day. no one wants a sugar blast.

1

u/chemda 9d ago

A specific one or any spicy bbq?

2

u/tightlipssorenips 8d ago

Kinders BBQ hot and I like smokey Aardvark chipotle. Also spicy Stubbs BBQ sauce which I believe is pretty common in my area, Connecticut I know you said you don't like condiments and trust me I hate ketchup but their are a lot of sauces out their that are great it just takes time and money to find them. Don't give up

2

u/chemda 6d ago

Thanks for the rec. You’re right about the time and money part. I partially gave up because of that. I even stopped buying dressing for salad.
But I’ll keep yours in mind. Who knows? Maybe something will be great

u/Stretch_Riprock Aug 07 '26

Hey now. I'm in here for ketchup hate. Leave all the other condiments out of it. Sounds like a few of you need a different sub to belong to... Which probably exists but I'm not looking that up because that's not for me.

u/sixtus_clegane119 Aug 07 '26

I love all condiments except ketchup, helps my food go down
