my kid doesn't like potatoes so i took them to that one idaho factory and left em there.
Imagine a world where parents knew what foods their kids were particular about and instead of forcing them to eat things they didn't like, worked with them and found out new and interesting things to try!
But alas, children are property and cannot be given any agency whatsoever
I'm guessing you don't have kids?
If I let my kids ate what they liked their palates would never have grown and they would still only want mac and cheese. Both from a "eating well rounded/healthy" perspective, also from a "growing your palate so you'll enjoy all sorts of foods" perspective (not to mention a "dad isn't going to cook 4 separate meals for dinner so we are all eating the same thing once you aren't a toddler" perspective) I firmly disagree with your sentiment.
Upside is my kids (now middle school and high school) generally eat all sorts of stuff. Sorry not sorry.
Edit - now that i properly read your post I retract some of my attitude. I agree about the "try new things and don't force them to eat things they hate" bit. I don't think you are suggesting just let them eat the minimal things they like. So sorry for being a dick.
These same people will talk about how "it's bad for parents to push veganism on their kids"
acidic salty sour goes with eggs. this is an eternal law of eggs, a cultural universal.
ketchup is the quick and easy. some kind of thick tomato based sauce is the classic. from huevos rancheros to menemen/shakshouka to chinese tomato egg stir-fry / jia chang cai, everybody does this and loves it. except the dumbass angloid gas bags that put the gas in gastronomie, tripping over their own dicks finding expensive and labor intensive ways to keep eggs bland.
Shakhouska is the goddamn bomb. It’s the epitome of dish that’s super easy to put together but tastes great and makes you look like a way better chef than you actually are.
Also, don’t know if this fits in the acidic salty sour paradigm but a bacon egg and cheese on a bagel or roll is S+ tier.
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 have been known to eat peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches.

Une tragédie.

Could be worse, could be miracle whip
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.
There are few small scale things that annoy me more than pompous New York elite rag-writers that need to tell the world about their authentic experience with authentic exotic cuisine with their authentic foreign friend during an article about fucking anything else.
It's one flight to Paris, what could it cost, $10? Stop blowing this out of proportion.
Travel can teach people a lot. But not the way these middle class travel epiphany porn articles claim
also who cares? I had an omelette in an airport at about that age that made me sick so I didn't touch eggs again until I was 25, the world continued to turn
also who cares?
A whole lot of
that expect a life changing epiphany journey of cultural enrichment and discovery with every article.
"let them eat cake"-ass country truly deserves everything its ruling class and liberal intelligentsia's gonna get when the 'again as farce' arrives.
I feel the same about ketchup on eggs (or vegan eggs) that I do about ketchup on hotdogs. Only stinky people do it.
