    So you want food to taste good but then you do not want to use mayo and ketchup?

    That’s very inconsistent.

        If you can’t taste the flavor of mayonnaise you might be the one with the unsophisticated palate. You’re welcome to say you don’t like it, or that it doesn’t have a good or intense enough flavor, but not being able to discern its flavor at all is a you thing.

          I mean water has a ‘taste’ but noone going to say that water is flavorful.

          But go on. Defend a pointless condiment. It only serves to be a base for things that have flavor.

        Me too. But we were talking about mayo and ketchup. Neither of these contain corn syrup in my experience.

        But maybe that’s different in the US?

          Ketchup has corn syrup in the US, also its generally way too sweet. Im not sure about where you are but imo tomatoes (an already sweet vegetable) doesn’t need additional sweetening.

            Tomatoes are sweet?

            I grew up gardening, tomatoes aren’t sweet… Unless you specifically get a sweet variety.

            As for ketchup, stop buying shitty brands of ketchup. If you think ketchup is crap, I suggest you read some history of the stuff, and maybe make your own.

            That also seems to be a US experience. In the EU tomatoes can also be sour which is one of the reasons we put a little bit sugar into tomato sauces.
