    When I was a child, my scratch-a-liberal family would give me endless shit about putting ketchup on my eggs. Because it's "gross" to them - never mind what I thought tasted good as a stupid idiot child. I was told it was childish and to outgrow it if I wanted to be taken seriously, and so I did. For the first time in about 20 years I had an egg and cheese sandwich with ketchup on it. They were wrong. They were such absolute fools. Ketchup on eggs is god tier, as good if not better than sriracha. Little pigeon was 100% right about her own taste and I wish I could tell her that.

    I know this probably wasn't your main point OP, but it's weird how people assign such moral and cultural value around someone putting a sweet vinegary vegetable paste on their food. "Oh no, the optics!" Absolutely unhinged, not materialist, and frankly embarrassing for any grown-ass adult to pass judgment on someone else's food tastes. Unless it's Mayo, that stuff is nasty - I don't like it on my food and therefore nobody else should be allowed to have it without feeling shame.

    Also, who the fuck are these french chefs? Are we sure they aren't clowns? Mimes perhaps? It's my understanding that roughly 30% of France's population is now Mimes.

        I want to meet the mind that looked at mayonnaise and went "What if this was half sugar?"

          I still remember the one time my mom bought it by mistake and we were all just shocked and horrified at the existence of this product that millions of people apparently like.

      What a weird thing for your family to be precious over. Eat ketchup with whatever you want friend, you have my support.

      I will die on this hill mayo is goated absolutely the best condiment. Want some ketchup with your mayo? You got thousand island. You want some bbq with it? Campfire sauce. Spicy? Yes please. This isn't even looking at the dressings that you find it in either. And yes I am anti-cracker-aktion

      I have been known to eat peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches.

            Honestly not bad

            it's like...easier to eat than a dry peanut butter sandwich, the mayo helps it not turn to glue in your mouth, and the flavor is decent, if not life changing. adding a little salt and twang to PB isn't a bad move

            I had some really really good sandwiches last year from homemade russian dill pickles I was given and I think this might go good with those

              So... peanut butter, mayonnaise, and pickles is the next step up? Am I understanding correctly?

                I'm gonna try it

                those particular pickles had a shitton of garlic and made very good sandwiches

                  If it goes well, I may try it too. Though it may take me a while because I have less agency with groceries.

      There's a lot of anti-ketchup bigotry in the world today that no one is addressing.

      I stand in solidarity with my fellow vinegary tomato paste lovers.
