......to have tomato ketchup on a Sunday roast?


Are there any odd meal/condiment combinations that you partake of?

Only if one is a blackguard and a scoundrel with no class. :)

I have recently taken a fancy to that European abomination of mayonaise on chips, however....

I think that is the national dish of Holland, it's all you can get in Amsterdam from take-aways

I'm living in China at the moment and usually cook , "Western " type food so I know what I'm eating.
However , every now and then , for a change I try something different I've never tried before.
I look at things in a shop and point -----and that's it !
So , often I've ended up eating stuff that obviously never ought to be eaten together but I 've no idea what either of them are !

Belgian I reckon. Belgians also produce the best chips in the world, and the best beer.

Moule Frites & a Bottle of Orval, bliss.

my nephew insisted on ketchup on mashed potatos when younger, this was his warped method of preventing me from eating them 'cos i prefer to taste my food & not the condiments.

Definatly not acceptable! My friend likes tomato ketchup on peas, but I just think it ruins them!

Can I class chocolate spread as a condiment?? I like it on chips or satay chicken mmmm

This is only acceptable for sticking them together so they don't roll off the plate! :D

I eat my peas with honey!
I've done it all my life.
It may sound rather funny,
but it keeps them on the knife!:D

I think eating cheese at breakfast time is one of the most dispicable depths to which mankind can stoop.

What, worse than peanut butter. With jam? That's the devils work. :(

Bully Beef,
I agree with you re the consumption of cheese at breakfast. I was struck with horror recently at breakfast in Amsterdam, when cold ham and cheese [Gouda] was served. Have these Dutch vulgarians never heard of Poptarts?

Oh , I don't know , cheese sounds a lot better for breakfast than fried pig , fried hen droppings , fried fungus ..... and perhaps most disgusting of all ......meusli.....

What all of them sound worse than "congealed fermented secretions from a cow"? ;)

Eww! These sound disgusting! The oddest thing I do is put light mayonnaise on chips... But I'm trying to cut down on both, so thats my weirdness over lol!

Cheese toasties are the only thing my sister will eat for breakfast :loopy:

Anything wrong with eating chocolate for breakfast?

Chocolate sauce on chips saves on desert - unless its chocolate sauce on ice cream. In fact - is there anything at all you cannot have chocolate with?

Hmmm!

Pangs of hunger ;)

If you go to MacD's then you end up with cheese on your Muffins!

I used to have ketchup on my Sunday Dinners as a kid until my Grandma caught me doing it at her house for the first time. I was scutched and had the threat of my dinner removed from me! :D

mmmm, condiments...

I like mint sauce butties, and mustard on toast is good too. I can't eat non-mushy peas politely so I have to mash them into other food, and sauce is always a good option. How the hell do people manage to balance peas on the back of their fork? How does it work? I can't do it, I end up with one pea. :(

Soy sauce on chips is good, too.

Yes, chocolate and beer do not mix well....!!

Depends on what time you breakfast ;)

If I'm really late I'll sometimes start the day with a couple of rounds of cheese on toast topped with crispy bacon.

As for tomato sauce, - only ever with fish. Sunday lunch deserves nothing other than properly made gravy and perhaps mint sauce with lamb and apple sauce with pork.

Fried muesli, - that is weird weird. Or perhaps a Chinese dish ? :D

Raw muesli is my favourite breakfast, and is really good for you because it is all raw. Cooking destroys a lot of the goodness, especially the essential fatty acids, in everything we eat .

I used to have a boyfriend that ate cottage cheese and frankfurter sandwiches! I can't imagine a more revolting combination. And I actually tried eating one once when we went for a walk in the countryside and he didn't bring anything else to eat. It was every bit as disgusting as you can imagine!!

I loved tomato sauce as a kid...but now I prefer mayonnaise or nothing!!

My weirdest food combination is tuna and cornflake sandwiches...as mentioned in this (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=40713) thread along with some other strange food combinations!

Ohhhhh! Salad cream sarnies!

I was addicted to fried eggs on toast with HP Curry sauce on, try it....it's to die for ;)

I have to dine off the memories these days, I'm on a wheat free, taste free, fun free diet...:gag:

Oohhh yes !! We used to have golden syrup sarnies too but my mother never knew..

When we were kids we hated swede and sprouts but had to eat up our veggies so the deal was we could have a dab of tomato sauce on it to disguise the taste. Worked.

Aaargh! this thread is killing me! You don't know what I'd give for a golden syrup sarnie.....
*well..anything other than being violently ill for the rest of the week! :gag:

I'm even allergic to tomato sauce now (instant migraine from vinegar) It used to be my secret ingredient in chilli too, get a right good dollop in there! Didn't half disguise the fact I can't cook ;)

I used to share a house with the ketchup kid, he would put it on literally everything. I told him if I ever saw him putting it on tomato soup I'd drown him in it......
Sure enough there came a day when he sat down with a bowl of steaming tomato soup....I hovered nearby pretending not to show any interest.....I know...I know...I should have drowned him! He put salad cream in it.....
