I'm a smotherer.
I keep it on the side. If you don't smother it just right the food on the bottom is bare and the food on the top gets soggy :(
I am a condiment smotherer. It's really bad, because sometimes I feel like the stuff I eat is really healthy, until I smother it in Parmesan cheese or ketchup or whatever. xD
Don't you just hate it when people go like, OH MY GOD WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO YOUR FOOD YOU'RE RUINING IT! whenever you add anything at all to it?
I dip my fries in ketcup, but what drives most people crazy is that I like to dip my burger the same way. I just think it's better that way. If I ever have ketchup on hash browns, that is the only time I will lay it on there and mash it up.
I hate giving out such personal info like this, so please don't use it against me in the future.
I like to get vanilla milkshakes at McDonalds and dip my fries in them xD
It's weird to dip your burger like that? xD I do that too. I put ketchup on my eggs too, and on really yucky tasteless omelette.Quote:

Okay, bagels are too weird for me. xD
But I SMOTHER parmesan cheese on my pasta. And I smother salad in dressing. It's terrible. xD
I spend all day putting sauce up my nose, then when I eat I just snort a little and a small amount of sauce goes down to my mouth. :up:
I almost never like much sauce. It is the bane of my existence. I prefer a little on the side or slightly drizzled. I only like food smothered with sauce if it's tasteless or just inedible without some kind of sauce.
Or without sauce at all! I'm usually the weirdo that gets sandwiches at fast food places/restaurants and asks for no sauce or extremely little sauce. I can't stand mayo or mustard. Bleagh.
You never make an egg and ham sandwich on a bagel with ketchup?Quote:

Miri knows what's up. It is perfectly okay to smother pasta in delicious cheese: everything else is a big no-no!Quote:

Otherwise, I'm rather conservative. In fact, I eat a lot of foods plain. French fries are good without ketchup. I don't usually salt or pepper, either.

Also, I don't smother. I gently overextend copious amounts of sauce.
I do this, too, though usually just when the sandwich is about gone.Quote:

I used to put A1 sauce on a lot of stuff though. Like I take a serving of rice and mix a helping of A1 in with it. It's actually really good.
I always just put the perfect amount on. This amount varies from food to food and condiment to condiment.
Needs more garlic though.
Salt and pepper are always my downfall.Quote:

I put it on the side and dip my food in it, unless it's pasta then I put cheese on top. :jess:
Smother me in gravy, you big dirty man.
I think I would like to have some of your mom's food.Quote:

I <333 ketchup I use it on everything, I sometimes also mix it with mayonnaise... *drools*
I'm a smotherer of ranch.
I'm mostly a dipper rather than a smotherer. Though, some sauces are okay with smothering, like... gravy!
No one else I know does this. No one has attacked me verbally for it, but I have had a comment here or there like, "Why don't you just put the ketchup on the burger instead?"Quote:

Ah, right. No, I do not smother my food because that is disgusting and ruins perfectly good food tastes. I handle my sauce differently depending on the consistency of the sauce I am dealing with. If it is a heavy or thick sauce, I usually set it aside and dip my food into it. However, if my sauce is very light and runny, I put a small amount over the food, without drowning it mind you, and occasionally I put some in a small serving dish that I use for dipping.
I also think ketchup is grotesque and refuse to put it on anything because I believe it ruins the flavor of most foods by taking it over and yelling at your mouth "HELLO I AM KETCHUP HOW THE HELL DO I TASTE, BITCH?"
I don't like my food yelling at me. I have sensitive feelings.
I admit it... I love the sauce.
Sometimes I smother, sometimes I don't. Depends on what I'm eating, and whether the sauce is decent or not. Last time I had sushi it was actually more soy sauce then sushi xD

If I use sauce then I use it very sparsely. I am just not a very saucy guy.
If I do use sauce there is a 90% chance that it is a nice thick sweet and sour sauce. That stuff is awesome. I just prefer that it not be that crappy kind that comes in packets they give you with egg rolls. That is the worst!
Eating a pie right now, abso-smurfing-lutely covered in sauce. It was too hot otherwise, and I needed a quick late night snack
Sometimes I use condiments, and smother, but only if the thing I'm eating is so BLECH! that I wouldn't be able to ingest it otherwise. So, ketchup and I have a bittersweet long-distance relationship, and see each other when the weather permits, but I'm thinking about breaking up. :(
