The flavor Fandoms

 Introduction

Whether someone is cheering for a sports team or arguing why their most used condiment is the best, there will always be a fan base. Condiment fan bases will always certainly be ride or die type of people. In this blog I intend to explain the different types of ride or dies for different popular condiments. 

Ketchup 

The ketchup fan base is very loyal and has very protective people. If someone says they don't really use it or don't really like it there is a big chance you'll hear, "What! How could you possibly not like ketchup." Ketchup lovers don't usually just love it for fries and hamburgers like most people, they find ways to put it on foods like pizza, mac and cheese, rice, and steak. Many people would say ketchup lovers don't just love of the sauce, they almost have a classified addiction.

Mayo

Most mayo lovers are okay with the fact that they will be flamed for loving it. When people argue that it’s disgusting and sticks in the mouth, the usual comeback from mayo lovers is: "Well, that’s why your sandwich is dry and mine isn’t." They don’t have much else to support why it’s better. Mayo is known as one of the most debated condiments, with two opposite sides and not many in between. 

Honey mustard

Honey mustard isn’t as straightforward as ketchup or mayo; honey mustard lovers are under the radar, quiet but loyal. Others will never know if their friends are honey mustard lovers until they ask a waiter for an extra side of honey mustard for their salad or chicken fingers. Critics believe that it’s just too confusing, too sweet to be mustard and too sharp to be honey, but the fan base will kindly just laugh and say, "It’s the perfect mix!" Unlike the other two condiments, honey mustard usually won’t spark a heated debate, but its fans are loyal enough to convince everyone to at least try it once.

Pesto

Out of all the condiments in this blog, pesto’s fan base is the most unique. Instead of picking fights or sticking up for their condiment, most treat it as a secret and like to gate keep it, but to those close to them, they’ll always recommend to try it on a sandwich or pasta. Some that have tried and didn't like say that the flavor is too strong or "green" for their taste but to those that like it that's exactly what makes it so special. This quiet fan base will celebrate with those who agree and simply nod their heads with those who don’t, all while thinking, ‘Tomato sauce just won’t cut it anymore."

Childhood Snack Glow-Ups

Introduction Everyone has their classic childhood snacks that they still think about or even still eat.  Classic childhood snacks never go out of style, but our taste buds grow up. Here’s how to keep the foods you love and give them a grown up, glow up. 1. Dunkaroos  For some, the sweet-and-crunchy duo of Dunkaroos is just too good to leave in childhood. Luckily there's a healthier, more grown option with some graham crackers, greek yogurt, and honey. This trio will perfectly match the snack ability and keep the sweetness alive through the graham cracker and honey. -Break apart a couple graham crackers into the 4 different thin pieces -Scoop a couple spoonfuls of greek yogurt into a separate bowl -Drizzle some honey on top of the yogurt  -Dip in and enjoy! 2. Fruit Roll-Ups Fruit Roll-ups remain a classic throughout my life, but whenever my mom decide we needed to be healthier she would make dehydrated fruit leathers. Don’t worry, the sweetness is stil...

Over the last couple of years I have discovered a few unusual combinations that have changed my snacking game. Here are the top 3 Weird Food Pairings and why you might wish you tried them sooner.  1. Hot Cheetos and Cream Cheese        Hot Cheetos and cream cheese is my go to late night snack that is absolutely unbeatable.  This one might sound the most normal, what’s not to love about a spicy, salty, savory chip paired with a cool, creamy spread to balance the heat? Don't worry you still have the satisfying crunch of the chip just this way it is paired ups with the perfect soothing texture. This paring is similar to have sour cream and na...

Flavor Hills I’ll Die On

 Introduction Everyone has good opinions, some spicy enough to start arguments with others. In this blog post I will introduce my flavor hills that I'll happily take to my grave. These takes aren’t out there, but they get way more hate than they deserve. Breakfast For dinner Breakfast for dinner is a tradition in my family. Once a week, we will make biscuits or cinnamon rolls with bacon, eggs, and fruit. As someone whose favorite meal is breakfast this is my favorite day of the week, with unmatched sweet flavors while still getting all of the needed nutrients that you would get from a "classic" dinner. Double downing on breakfast will never be a guilty pleasure, forever just a pleasure. Ketchup on Eggs People love to hate on this one, but I'll forever defend it: ketchup belongs on eggs. Since the first time I tried eggs, my parents put ketchup on it, now I won't eat it any other way. The sweetness of ketchup covers up the off-putting taste in eggs that makes some ...
