I'm a chaotic neutral myself. It almost, but not quite appalls my wife.

Ketchup is fine for small children and the infirm. But that's it. Everyone else should be using mustard, (preferably with horseradish in it), or some other stronger flavored condiment. Be the adult you are!

    Nothing more adult than worrying your choice of condiment might be perceived as immature

    Do I need to add "slashies" to a joke here also? The point of the silly statement was to show the, to use your word, fun immaturity of the this post. And yes, it can be fun to argue about silly things even as an adult - see any sports discussion or conversation about the weather, (slashies). But evidently, there are a lot of people here who don't understand the humor of such a broad and silly statement without a road map.

    There is exactly zero indication that your statement is intended as humorous instead of pretentious. "Slashies" as you call them are a thing because tone and nuance don’t convey well over text.

    The opening line of "The very young and the infirm" is very much over the top and the words chosen are not common use words in daily speech. Understanding the nuance and tone of the written word would seem to be lacking. People used to be able to do that as a general rule.

    It explains a lot about modern education and the general tone of discourse in modern societies.

    Dang. I run prefer mustard, mayo, and ketchup, in that order, with my fries.

    Horseradish on fries? Never tried it. With Prime rib? Sure.

    There is little wrong with ketchup, (I am not a big fan of all the sweeteners they put in it these days), but the same old same old gets boring after awhile. A good spicy German mustard is a great choice for your fries. Open your mind and palate to new things.

    To butcher a quote from Andrew Zimmern, "Always try the eyeballs, you never know how good they might taste"

    Mustard is gross af too, though. Horseradish is biological warfare, not edible food, and I will die on that hill.

    I’m not a condiment person, even adding salt and pepper “to taste” is something I very very rarely do. Condiments are a waste of cooking skill and good ingredients. If I use anything it’s probably hot sauce or like sweet chilli or something actually transformative, or the food is barely edible without it (which I try to avoid). Everything else can go straight in the trash.

    I like the actual taste of my food, no need to cover it up and make it taste exactly the same way every single time via condiments. Be an adult and experience subtle flavor variety.

    Ofc maybe you need condiments because you are a shit cook. That’s ok too, but it doesn’t make you more adult than someone who prefers things differently.
