I am addicted to condiments. I love them. I’ve always been a huge ketchup fan, but over the last few years I’ve been cheating on ketchup with new beaus.
Anytime I have a meal that requires ketchup (which is basically anything outside of yogurt) I add tons of condiments as I’m eating too.
It was super apparent today because I ate on the TV tray and all four of these toppings barely fit with my plate and drink, but I refused to leave them in the kitchen.
Since I had a later breakfast I grabbed a pear to eat while running a few errands.
And then came home to a magnificent egg scramble. I sautéed onions, garlic, mushrooms, spinach and salsa and then added eggs and a Laughing Cow wedge. *While I was cooking I had a handful of tortilla chips because I was hungry. It occurred to me that I’ve never binged on salty foods – only sweet or high in fat (nut butters). Can anyone else relate?
I ate it with tons of condiments (obviously), a tortilla and a piece of MIP toast (MIP = Missing In Picture).
I picked up this new (to me) peanut butter at Target – Vanilla Cranberry. I am hoping Ben likes it because he’s not the biggest PB fan, but he loves cranberries.
I ate some straight of the jar before deciding to be all proper and what not and put it on some bread. This stuff is delicious.
Question: What’s your favorite condiment?
I never thought I would say this but, I can’t decide between Tapatio and ketchup.
Lisa says
I usually binge on sweets if I’m going to do it. Desserts are super hard for me to resist!
MarathonVal says
I am also obsessed with condiments!!!!! It’s usually more condiments, with a side of the real food….. but I love it that way 🙂 And what is Tapatio???
Amanda (Two Boos Who Eat) says
I can so relate! I am obsessed with tapatio. So’s Andy. We keep hoping Costco will carry it but so far, not luck!
I don’t binge on salty foods either. Peanut butter cookies however…
Caronae says
I’ve never binged on salty or savory foods either! I could care less about chips, fries, etc. Just give me the cookies and no one gets hurt…
Stacie @ Imperfectly Healthys says
I HAVE GOT to find that PB!!!! I was just in Target the other day and bought PB, so I’m a little disappointed that my Target doesn’t seem to have it…yet (hopefully!).
Elizabeth says
Stragely enough I am not a condiment person at all. But my house is so well stocked because my boyfriend is. He loves hot suace, ketchup and BBQ sauce.
Erika @ Food, Fitness, & Fun says
Mmmm, I love condiments too! My favorites are ketchup, Frank’s Red Hot, and Tabasco. (In that order) 🙂
Elliott says
I am such a condiment addict too! Whenever I dine out, the waitress hates me by the time I leave because I am repeatedly asking for a side of ______!
Last night, alongside my smoked pork chop I had Ketchup, Sweet BBQ sauce, tangy BBQ sauce, Hot sauce, A1, and Ranch….luckily it was all on the table in bottles!
So yeah, I like about every condiment…but BBQ sauce or ketchup are KING!! I also always put black pepper in my ketchup. I’ve been doing it for years, and in high school I had my whole lunch table “converted” to pepper ketchup! HAHA
AR says
It’s funny you mention it: I’ve had a LOT of trouble through the years binging on sweet things…which often just led to sweet AND fatty things. (O hai, *entire bags* of mini snickers.) Even since I’ve learned to be a bit more aware of these things, its hard for me to have candy around.
However, while I’ve never been much of a salt person…I’ve always been bad with tortilla chips. Particularly since salsa tends to be my favorite condiment. (Not much of a ketchup fan these days, oddly enough.)
griselda says
I have to say I am truly addicted to the tapatio and ketchup combo too! Have you ever tried the asian hot sauce sriracha? It’s the bees knees! Ha ha…oh yea and let me tell you I cant keep my hands off sweet stuff when I binge. Salty foods don’t really call my attention.
kate says
Im on team ketchup. And I stinkin love Target.
Amber K says
I have never binged on salty stuff either. It’s always ice cream or something super sweet.
My absolute favorite condiment is mustard. I love it! I started eating it so much that I can’t appreciate ketchup anymore because it tastes way too sweet. And it is usually added to something savory and I HATE sweet and savory things together.
Then again, I have also been a huge fan of various “fry sauces.” Yum
Caitlin (EatFeats) says
Yes. I almost always binge on desserts and peanut butter. I crave chips/crackers and cheese when I am really tired AND stressed at the same time, but usually I can just go to bed instead. It’s the fatty sugar that gets me EVERY time.
Ida says
Mustard is my favorite! I also love salad dressings- I have a hard time only buying one bottle at a time, there are so many i want to try.
Kat says
I will always choose Tapatio over ketchup. But then Mara mentioned Cholula. Oh, how I love thee. Cholula trumps Tapatio, which trumps Ketchup, every time.
Lauren says
I am just like you, a total condiment junkie! You should see my fridge, there is more condiments in there than “real” food.
I think I could live off of ketchup and mustard alone.
alison says
I’m partial to honey mustard.
Cranberry pb? Yum.
Tay says
Are you sure I didn’t write this post?? I freakin love condiments. Ketchup & BBQ sauce are some of the top. That PB is beyond amaze. And agreed – have never binged on salty foods. I’ve easily eaten TOO MANY tortilla chips or something, but no out of control binge like with ice cream.
runeatrepeat says
I always think I write your posts 🙂 We like so many of the same things.
Weird about the binging only on sweet foods, right?
Lived in Wien! says
I don’t think it’s weird that you binge on only sweet foods. I think many people do a sweet or a salty binge. It’s pretty common.
Think about our first food as a baby…. milk….. sweet lactose…. it’s what comforted us from the beginning.
amanda says
I love hot sauce!!! Delicious when hotter the better. I will say I tend to binge also on high fat , carbs, and sweet types of foods. I very rarely like you ever binge on salty food…maybe chips..but don’t crave them
Food & Other Things says
I put pepper on everything but I think soy sauce is my favorite condiment! Vanilla Cranberry peanut butter sounds good…I need to go to Target and check out the Archer Farms products!!
Mara @ What's For Dinner? says
You’re a Tapatio girl? I’m a Cholula girl. I’d put it on everything if it didn’t simultaneously burn away the inside of my mouth while it tasted great…
Laurab@ foodsnobstl says
Definitely Frank’s hot sauce!!!
Lisa says
I can very much relate to the bingeing on sweets and pb but not salty foods. I can mindlessly nosh on pretzels or tortilla chips but wouldn’t go out of my way to get them and if they aren’t there, I don’t miss them but I would miss cookies and have driven late at night for some mediocre ice cream!
As for condiments, ketchup. Heinz. Only thing.
Runeatrepeat says
Thanks for chiming in Lisa 🙂 Glad to know I’m not the only one guilty of searching out mediocre ice cream…
Evan says
I love Mustard, or a sweet pickle relish. Ketchup isn’t bad either(in fact, it’s great stuff)
