How do you deal with unexpected condiments when eating out?

Bring your own in your sauce holster:

Chop a red onion, add a splash of heinz tomato ketchup and a similar splash of encona pepper sauce, mix and enjoy with curry, burgers, WHY.

I once received some gentlemens relish I didn't asked for.

It came just after I complained that what they mistakenly provided me with low earner cutlery, not the gucci cutlery in used to

Didn't spoil the bargain bucket.

Gentleman's relish has a completely different meaning around my neck of the woods. It most certainly would spoil the bargain bucket :eek:

I think if I went to a sit in chip shop the condiments would matter. If I am eating out with family or away with work, chances are ketchup etc wouldn't be required. Garlic butter or mayo would be perfectly fine to go with chunky million times refried cubes or "home style" fries... what even does "home style" mean? Ive never made my own chips that look like those...those things.

I wouldn’t bet the farm on it, but maybe they’re the same as “home fries”, these are, (at least in most of the U.S.), potato bits, fried with onion, ideally in bacon grease.
FWIW, I’ve never noticed ketchup, or tomato sauce in any restaurant that I’ve been happy to go to, but I’d imagine that even The Savoy Grill will find you some if you asked politely.
Hopefully you’d find the restaurant fully booked if you tried to make a reservation in the future, after asking for ketchup in a decent establishment.
 
It's the lack of tartar sauce when ordering a surf & turf that does my head in.

Went to one restaurant where upon asking if they had any tartar sauce the waiter came back with a couple of sachets that looked like they'd been lodged at the back of the cupboard for a decade or so. All I said was something along the lines of "Sachets, really? You have a chef and a couple of sous chefs, surely it's not too difficult to whip up a bowl of tartar sauce." Five minutes later the chef appeared and presented me what can only be described as a bucket of tartar sauce. :D
 
:D

It's when there is no sauce and you someone asks for ketchup.

A bit like when someone hammers salt and pepper (before tasting).

I want my food to taste of the food, not tomato. If I wanted to eat something that tastes of tomato, I'd eat a tomato.

Ketchup doesn't even taste of tomato. It's tastes more like a bucket of sugar with some salt and vinegar thrown in.

How people can intentionally ruin their food with lavishings of ketchup is anybody's guess.

This stuff is brilliant. Dollop on the side of the plate, I wouldn't call that ruining at all.
 
That looks good!

Fish and Chips without Ketchup? :eek:

I like me condiments, too many to list. Hell, cheese on toast with tomatoes is ace, or if too lazy to chop tomatoes - brown sauce. ;)

Have you tried the Encona "Carolina Reaper" sauce? (Apparently limited edition but it's been in supermarkets for ages). Don't let the reapers put you off, it's not as scary as it sounds. It's just like Tom sauce with a kick.
