Do you put butter on food?

How about salt?
And do you use salad dressing on your salad?
I do like ketchup on potatoes


I rarely use any of those and sometimes I get strange comments because of it. I think I just prefer to taste what I am eating instead of covering it up. Plus the extra calories seems to defeat the purpose of eating something healthy like a salad. I do use some spices while cooking. Do you do any of these things?


What is the weirdest thing you put on something else?

I put all those things on my food. It makes it taste good.

Funny. I love ketchup, but I hate tomatoes.

My family thinks I'm weird because I never put butter on bread.

Salt and pepper is nice but I rarely use it.

I like ketchup on my eggs and homefries, and I also use butter and sour cream on both mashed and baked potatoes.
Ever have baked beans with raisins in them??? Yummy!! !! !

I put all different kinds of condiments on food. I find that they enhance the flavors of the foods rather than covering it up.

Hey! Did you ever try out that pizza idea of mine? BBQ sauce, jalapenos, pineapple, green peppers and mushrooms?

I don't know. It never made sense to add a bunch of calories by coating stuff in what is essentially a layer of fat. I can remember eating bake potatos plain when I was really small while everyone would throw cheese, sour cream, and butter on them. I decided I liked the taste of fresh vegetables without some oily dressing. Maybe my taste buds are more sensitive than they should be, though I really love hot peppers.

Butter: Yes. Sparingly. Butter is great. I like a little blob on vegetables with some salt, really brings out flavour.

Salt: Yes. Good quality sea salt. Salt is essential to health, and if you eat whole foods and not processed stuff, there's not a lot of natural salt in it. I think I was actually deficient in certain minerals when I experimented with a low salt diet.

Salad dressing: Yes, sometimes. I make my own from good quality olive oil, chilli, lemon and herbs.

Ketchup. Not often. Of those listed, it's probably the worst. It's basically tomato flavoured sugar

Calories seem to be misunderstood by most people. Calories are fine as long as they are doing something useful. A lot of the food available in supermarkets here have low amounts of essential micro nutrients per calorie. May as well be eating bags of sugar.

You want to get maximum nutrition per calorie, then you will find you don't need to eat so much, and then you don't get overweight.

moog sounds posh

i love lots of butter on jacket potatoes but that's about it. the only thing i add salt to is takeaway chips, because they just wouldnt be right without it. i don't think i've ever tried salad with a dressing on it. & i don't have ketchup much but love salad cream with everything D:

i'm not very foody

I generally don't salt food after it's cooked. Sometimes I use salad dressing, sometimes not. Hardly ever use the creamy kind. I prefer Italian dressings.

Hate ketchup and barely use butter. All in all, I prefer my food to be quite plain. This is partly due to taste and partly due to laziness.

Not really. I had to spend a lot of time and effort trying to find a diet that doesn't mess me up in various ways. I know a little bit about nutrition. It was a 'special interest' of mine for a long time.

i wonder if i'd be less messed up if my diet was posher

I know I would be. I've been gradually going gluten free because it really messes with me. I also eat far too much processed food.

Depends on what kind of 'messed up' you are.

Some people seem perfectly able to subsist on carbs and sugar.

This guy apparently does so, and wrote a book about it:

Real butter on freshly baked warm bread is one of the best things in the world.

The same way that hot chocolate sauce over ice cream is also one of the other best things.

No butter, no oil, no sauces, no mayonnaise, no ketchup and other throw-up-genic substances. They all stink, taste horrible and profane the food.
