Ketchup tastes like Wass’s baloon knot and you all should hang your heads in shame.
I enjoy what I enjoy. Food isn’t a status symbol for me. It’s not like I can’t afford to eat fancy stuff, or don’t enjoy different types of food. But I think a good cheeseburger and fries, with ketchup on both, is a delightful meal.
And I don’t know what Wass’s balloon knot tastes like.
Cross’ tastes in food are similar to his preferences in offensive schemes. Staid and stuck in the 80s.
And trust me, it's not an 80's thing. Ketchup is the devil. Your food should taste better than something needing ketchup. There are older in-laws who would throttle me if they saw me use ketchup.
And you know, I almost never use ketchup anymore. Because the food is, truly, damn good and doesn't need it. When I used to cook for myself, different story.
I don't pollute them with ketchup. I prefer them to be made with good beef.
Food has nothing to do with status symbols. That's not the idea behind refinement and good taste.
Cooked medium rare, with a good cheese and a thick slab of bacon, need never be polluted with condiments
