How do you deal with unexpected condiments when eating out?

I take my own pot of mushy peas when I go for a spoons fryup.

I like to practice safe eating so always carry my own condiments

Always use a condiment, especially if you eat out a lot.

I would spray it all over myself, then take one of those crap forks and hold it under my armpit so it looks like I got shanked fam. Then put on my biggest compo face and claim teh epix monies.

Much like burgers - amirite? It's supposed to be a burger - not have half your garden stuffed in there

That's more substandard condiments, rather than actually unexpected ones. You should expect that kind of **** in substandard local restaurants. Go somewhere classier.

Unexpected would be thinking you'd get ketchup and brown sauce, but instead find little dishes of flaked salmon, ginger and chilli in soy sauce... at which point you should panic, flap your arms like a mad'un, hoon around the room making the same noises as Jessica Knappett imitating an airhorn, run into the street while stripping naked, and then head home (bonus points for stopping in ASDA to shout at the cheese) to post a manic thread on an internet forum somewhere... Mumsnet should be the default arena to air your concerns, but I fear your thread would get lost amidst the other more deranged topics and deluge of abbreviated terms.

Personally I’d find the smallest, youngest looking, lowest paid waitress in the place and get all up in her grill! :mad:

A condiment is a spice, sauce, or preparation that is added to food, typically after cooking, to impart a specific flavor, to enhance the flavor, or to complement the dish. A table condiment or table sauce is more specifically a condiment that is served separately from the food and is added to taste by the diner.

As above its there to complement a dish not to 'make it taste of tomato'. Its like saying I don't add salt to my chips as I don't want to just taste salt ...

There is only one time where tommy K is acceptable and that’s a dirty BBQ. Love a bit on a nice smoky burger.

Yaayuh! · 17 Jul 2020 at 13:57

I haven't had Ketchup in a long time. Much prefer Reggae Reggae.

There can be only one, though, so just chop his head off and carry on with your day!!

Can't believe I'm posting about condiments on a tech forum on a Friday afternoon. The world is a strange place at the moment

The troll is strong with this one

I like my chips with a bit of tomato, hence i love ketchup. Is that ok with you Mr Mono-taste?

Why not just have tomatoes?

Jay794 · 17 Jul 2020 at 15:53

There's some very strange people in here, I genuinely pay no attention to the brand of condiment

The irony is, ketchup tastes nothing like tomato... Whether its high quality Gucci Ketchup or substandard Daddies Sauce, neither will taste like tomatoes. Just vinegar and sugar.

Also, is this how low GD has sunk? This place has changed.

Daddies sauce just sounds wrong.
