    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

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

      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.

      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.

      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.
