I don't know if its just an autism thing but I dont understand why people like condiments. For me all of them taste bad and then add a shitty texture to a meal that makes me want to eat it less

[–] MidnightPocket@hexbear.net 2 points 2 days ago

I agree - I hate the "slime" texture.

But definitely hit me with just oil/vinegar italian style or with a dry, grainy, spicy mustard.

Mayonnaise can go to hell.

I am a big condiment enjoyer, the taste/textures don't bother me personally, but I do not understand these abominations

[–] Barx@hexbear.net 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

All condiments or just the anglo ones? Things like toum or soy sauce are also condiments.

[–] Josephine_Spiro@hexbear.net 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Fair distinction, most Anglo ones, soy sause I am neutral to

[–] Barx@hexbear.net 4 points 3 days ago

Yeah the Anglo ones don't add as much imo and can make things weird

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 11 points 3 days ago

I think I get the texture thing, I prefer strong flavored condiments where I can taste it without having to add so much that it makes a wet mess. This half mayo bullshit is the worst of both worlds.

[–] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 10 points 3 days ago

Sometimes a meal needs more fat or more acid, and condiments are a good way to do that.

Maybe? Us neurospicy folks are not a monolith. We've got the autism hat trick in our house, and the three of us have condiment quirks as follows:

  1. Despises anything sweet unless it's accompanied by an intensely spicy component to balance it.
  2. Sweet only. Ketchup is the high bar for what counts as sweet (probably because of all the corn syrup).
  3. Ketchup. Full stop.
