to hate it when my friend says "eurgh don't you want sauce with that?!"

[versaille]

I rarely ever have sauce with anything - no mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard or even salt etc

And without fail each time I have dinner with my friend she comments saying -

"eurgh don't you want sauce with that?!" ... or ...

"How can you eat that so dry?!"

But to me the food isn't dry or plain, I think it would only be to people who have to have sauce with their food because their taste buds are useless without it?

'How about we just assume that I am going to eat things without sauce on for the foreseeable future and you can rest assured that I fully understand that this is a source of complete astonishment to you. That way you don't have to say exactly the same thing every time we sit down to eat, and I don't have to spend yet another mealtime planning where to bury your body when I finally snap.'

I'm not sure we really have condiments in house. We have mustard... Otherwise everything is cooked in something/ isn't dry

[Jins]

Too many people have too much to say about what others eat.

[Chattymummyhere]

Dh is bad with this not sauces but even a "samish" as called in our house has to have salt and pepper on it! Soup, salt.. Scrambled egg, salt.. Grr we get though so much!

Only things I do is salt and vinigar on chips, tommy sauce on hot dogs if out. Then some gravy and appropriate sauce with Sunday dinner (mint sauce/hourseraddish)

[Remotecontrolduck]

I really wish people would stop caring what others ate (unless it's causing major health issues aside). Like with this horse meat thing, people saying it's hypocritcal to not eat horse if you eat cow blah blah. Can't I just eat what I want ffs?

It is rude to comment on what others are having, ask her if she meant to be so rude next time. I really don't care if someone has sauce/doesn't have sauce, why would she?

People who don't like gravy are weird/ People who don't eat sauces of any sort or super weird.

I don't say it to their faces though. that would be rude. I just sit there thinking 'weirdo.'

[FryOneFatManic]

I do gravy with some meals, and sometimes put out appropriate condiments, eg apple sauce for pork. But most people in our house put a small dollop on the side rather than cover their meal in the sauce.

And I rarely put out salt/pepper, just with chips. My food is already seasoned so you won't need extra. I don't season much anyway.

Surely that's down to the eater to decide? If I'd cooked for a dinner party and (if it was anything other than a plain roast) people dowsed it in salt and pepper before they'd even tasted it, I'd be a bit pissed off, but for average weekday meals of relatively British style food I think it's perfectly ok to allow people to decide for themselves whether they'd like more seasoning than you've allocated them - especially as you say you don't season much. I can't stand having food that massively lacks enough salt to make it interesting.

[FellatioNels0n]

sorry that should have said relatively bland British style food

Yanbu (as a fellow non sauce and dry food bod)
