Quitting More Foods

After I made a big step toward reducing the intake of coke, I am considering to throw out two more items from my diet. That is because I read how bad they are for health and because I became disgusted by the sight of those foods. That is namely mayonnaise and ketchup. I used to eat them with my fries. I am planning to replace them with a healthy sauce called “ajvar”. While I am not addicted to either of those foods it might take a while to start enjoying fries with the new sauce. What is your favourite condiment to serve with fries?

I only dust my fries with salt, no ketchup at all and when I want to serve something with mayonnaise I make it myself at home. Ajvar is good, I would not have it with fries, but served with grilled meats is very good.

Does your homemade mayonnaise taste like the one we buy in the shop?

Ketchup can't be that bad for your health - it is made with tomatoes.

I read somewhere that ketchup is made from worse quality tomatoes that are not good for consumption.

I dip my fries in melted cheese or mustard as I don't like ketchup. I rarely use mayonaise unless it is an ingredient in something I am making which isn't often. Have you tried the ajvar sauce yet?

I stopped eating meat when I was 7 and rarely eat veggie pattys but when I do I add cheese and mayo if I have it.

@shaggin I like cheese with meat also. But not mayo anymore.

Yes it was my favourite hamburger sauce when I was a kid. I also like it with meatballs. But this is the first time that I eat it with fries.

I like mixing ketchup and mayonnaise. The best condiment for fries.

@Madshadi I think it is fine for younger ones. But I don't consume much fast food. I still prefer to eat slow food.

|Just a touch of salt with the fries.

A touch is good. As long as it is not too much salt.

What does that taste like? I also avoid mayo but ketchup is sooo good. Glad you are taking steps to be healthier.

Hard to describe the taste. I can't think of anything that tastes like ajvar.

I love mayonnaise so i cannot give that up. I usually like flavored fries, with powdered cheese or sour cream

i looked up ajvar. wikipedia says it's made of "red bell peppers, garlic, eggplant and chili peppers." sounds like a healthy substitute (although i can't eat hot and spicy food). will you be making it yourself or can you buy it in bottles?

I buy it in bottles ready to eat. And it’s really not that hot.

ah..ah..ah..I am really getting a laugh. Such thing has happened to my friend. One day he came to me and saw me cleaning the kitchen sin with a Sift drink (not to be named). After observing the cleaning process he practically stopped drinking it. Better you take some pickle
