Husband appears incapable of eating any meal without ketchup/brown/mayo/salad cream. Apart from curry. Salad cream goes on lasagne, pasta and bloody stir fry! All home cooked from scratch. Abu to be a bit pissed off about it? I know he's an adult and can eat what he wants but makes me wonder why I bother cooking nice tasty food.

No it doesn't. Dear God, there's another one?

I am on the side that thinks if these condements were served in a dish with a spoon like mint sauce (which is way more over powering than salad cream or ketchup) then it would be totally fine to put on any dish

DH puts pepper on everything without tasting it first and that pisses me off.

But salad cream on stir fry?! Shock

LTB.

I don't get why people are bothered by this Confused Surely adults can put whatever they want on their meals?

Mine is the opposite, he never cooks sauce as part of a meal and will dish up say, dry pasta, a steamed fish filler and steamed veg. Or a stir fry that consists only of meat and veg. Or a roast with no gravy. I can't face food as plain as that so I am often the one adding sweet chilli sauce, ketchup, salad cream or whatever.

Blimey, it would appear there's at least two of them.

If he cooked the food himself I wouldn't care. If he even tasted itfirst. Who tastes a stir fry, and think 'mmmm, missing some cheap vinegry condiment.....'

Can't believe this bothers people that much..... Surely there are worse things he can do!

U have come on to ask if YABU and the answer is yes!

My DH is not as bad as the OPs. But what annoys me more is that he doesnt taste his food before deciding he needs extra condiments.

I make a salmon with a cream pesto topping - he will then cover in tartare sauce because he has been conditioned to add tartare to everything fishy and mustard to beef etc. Hmm

Its very rude and I do tell him this but he cant seem to stop. Angry

Next time I notice this I shall ask if his mums cooking was always so bland that he needed to smother it in sauce and see what reaction I get Wink Grin

It is a culinary abomination to eat veg lasagne without salad cream IMO.

Long live condiments.

EveryoneElsie · 29/05/2016 21:12

Salad cream on prawns. Salad cream on pasta. I see nothing wrong here

THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH SALAD CREAM

(just not on stir fry!)

seriously, I hate mayo, creamy bland yuck. I love a bit of salad cream with a tangy edge. But on salad obviously.

AddisonBlue · 29/05/2016 21:14

Salad cream on pasta bake, one of my favourite meals. On stir fry sounds a bit wrong though.

Fucking love salad cream. I love it on salad that's been paired with lasagne. Lush.
