I had steak once a week growing up. Every Saturday night was steak night. Got so sick of it I didn't eat it for years after moving out.

Oh hell no. I love Mustard and I don't mind A-1, just usually not on a steak unless it's a sirloin or something.

Dijon?

Heinz 57?

Mayo?

Oh my ****ing god you guys suck!

Ketchup. This heathen I married puts ****ing Ketchup on a ****ing steak. Ketchup doesn't go on shit. Ketchup ****ing sucks!

Ketchup on burgers is okay, right?

I was close with Heinz 57

Eh, I usually go Mayo and mustard mixed with some pickle juice and pepper on burgers. I don't really use ketchup for anything, not even hot dogs.

I have no shame admitting I use to eat mac n cheese mixed wth hamburger meat and ketchup. If I had to, I would eat it again and it wouldn't bother lol.


That's what happens when you grow up poor. I also used evaporated milk in a can for cereal. It was always a lukewarm bowl of Apple Zappers lol.

Oh, that's funny.LMAO

Even I knew that as a part time cHarger contributor. Maybe it's the whiskers on her avi that got you confused. That can happen to the best of them.:)

My wife put ketchup in Mac and Cheese as well. But that's passable, on steaks is not!!!

I'm with you there. My 10-year-old (who is suffering 6+ weeks of a liquid diet!!!) is learning how to order the right cut from the butcher, and make a great steak.

Now, as usual with me, that's a bit extreme, but he knows a good steak, and knows how to brine a turkey too.

Odd, no other kid around knows kosher salt from sea salt from table salt. I hope this pays of when I'm old and want a good steak! :):):)

I can't take Miracle Whip or Heinz 57. I must have a tangy sauce gene like FMB's cilantro gene. Tastes like it has turned.

Not a BIG fan of A1, but will eat it if it's already on a burger.

I'm more of a savory guy, bleu cheese, liquid smoke. Also like spicy, habernero, ghost chili.

Yeah I don't use any sauces except for horseradish and that's when I'm feeling crazy as ****.

I would choose a spicy burger over a western burger any day. Red Robins Burnin Love burger is pretty good. Add extra chipotle sauce to it. YUUUUUUMMMMM

Not primarily or alone. Dab each of ketchup, mayo, yellow mustard is Americana.

And never ketchup on hot dogs

I thought someone already guessed this. Sorry. Must have misread the thread. But yeah, ketchup was the only thing I could think of worse than the ranch my rat niece and nephew used on mine. I probably just would have laughed at them if thy used ketchup. Ketchup is such a shitty condiment.

LMAO

My lovely avy designed and drawn by me in Adobe Illustrator—half a Pat and half a Buc. ( patriot and a pirate )

At Red Robin I love the Gauc burger with bleu cheese instead of swiss.

That fire roasted jalapeno they toothpick on top of the Burnin Love is very attractive, though.

I like it on fried taters

I eat that sum bitch every time.

That's how I do it—almost. Hold the mayo, plus relish or hamburger dill chips and white onion.
If I do mayo it's with lettuce and fresh raw tomato.

Mustard and relish or kraut and mustard on dogs. My SO does the ketchup though. Ugh!

I'm with you. My body is ketchup free other than ketchup based BBQ sauce. Ketchup sucks.

I mentioned it earlier, but scorpion sea salt on Mac and Cheese with hot dogs is my new crack.

I like Smashburger's with raw baby spinach, cucumber, red onion, goat cheese on an Udi's gluten-free bun. Very good for a change-up!

Wow, that looks like it'll crank out some flavor. Definitely buying some.

Negatory. Still sucks. BBQ sauce is OK. But most just a dash of season salt is all I need

Wendy's actually has a decent new bleu cheese burger. Has a savory spice on the meat. Baby field greens, a kind of relish/chutney and comes on a brioche bun

Yeah, it's expensive [got it as an XMas gift along with ghost chili and srirachi sea salts]. But a little goes a long way.

5.89 for 1.5 oz.

I think my cousin gets a break on it because she knows the woman who runs the store. I know it's located near her in West Monroe LA.

Kind of fortuitous as she's a spice nut. She eats raw ghost peppers as a snack, grows her own. Her youngest started eating it too, but they stopped her for now because her mouth would blister and she didn't give a ****. Little 2yo munch on ghost chilis mouth all inflamed happy as a pig in shit.

The amount you would lightly season any dish with is enough to induce hair sweat.

Sweating isn't lady-like. So I'll have to pass on those flavors that cause heat.

You can't eat steak with no teeth of dentures!

Not if he gets his son to liquify it in his Vitamix. Kid knows how to operate it. I'm sure it will last until then.

Your loss.

I have to eat my spicy food in seclusion like a troll, but I love it. But I'm also a prolific sweater. Not all the time, but induce a little heat and it's like the kids opened the fire hydrants in the city in the summer.

Are you a fatty?

No it's not my loss. I don't care for food that is too hot like you do. So I feel no loss at all.

You're definitely at a loss here.

If I don't feel it. It isn't. I've tried and I don't feel a need to repeat pain.

That's not what your told your husband!

ZING!!!!!!!!!

Well I don't eat painful stuff lol. That Burnin Love burger is perfect. It's really not bad, has a little heat but very tolerable.

I'm fine with a little heat up to medium. But to my knowledge, based on what I see BL post, he likes the heat turned up higher. I can't take that.
It's painful. Like an ice-cream headache.

Not anymore, it's just when I do sweat it's a gusher. I did some yard work a few times in the heat last summer/fall and my clothes probably weighed 20lbs when I went back inside.

I ended up having to do yard work in jogging shorts and a wife beater just so I wasn't dragging around a backpack worth of clothing while mowed.

He's not my husband. I told you that before. I am a kept woman.

Do you have high triglycerides?

You're not gonna like manopause then.:D

You don't get an endorphin rush when food is spicy. Better than coffee or a good cigarette [I'd say cocaine or somesuch, but I haven't had the pleasure].

A good spicy dish is like a dip in the hot tub. Body all relaxed and brain blissed out.

That's why I put up with the depredations it puts on my sweat glands.

You had a child out of wedlock??

GASP!!!

Oh gee, I've never noticed that effect. I just remember screamin' for a cold glass of ice-water to douse out the burning sensation where I can't even taste the underlying food it's spicing up.

Nope.

Come on lew, you've got more common sense and logic than that as the only possibility.

You ate something stupid then.

Do they put the roasted jalapeno on top [whole, above the bun]?

If so how does that spark your meter?

The ones I've had were pretty darn hot for a jalapeno.

Pretty hot for something you can get at a restaurant for that matter.

No it was just something with hot chili in it. I think once it was Thai and another time Mexican. I order the mild salsa in a Mexican restaurant. But I can tolerate the medium...I just prefer a more tomato taste to dominate.

BL, I wasn't claiming some endorphin rush it's my mouth that winds up burning on fire.

You left some hillbilly on the side of the road and kicked him to the curb permanently a long time ago. Only after he seeded you a great child. You then came to find a new man later in life but you would not legally bind yourself to the constraints that once challenged your every fiber.




That or you're a lesbian?

Give me hot salsa and add extra jalapenos. I like to sweat when I eat and the farts smell that much worse under the covers for my wife.

Seriously? You are hilarious. But I'll let you believe that.

Understandable. I have a friend who's the same way, he thinks Tabasco is the spiciest stuff ever. I'm Portuguese, so bring on the heat :thumb:

Or you adopted?

****, now I really confused myself and it's really none of my business anyway. I hope he treats you well and isn't like Jameis Winston.

Oh Tabasco is another thing I am not crazy about because it's hot.

ROFL

The pain in your mouth is what releases the endorphins. Much the same mechanism as runner's high, where you get euphoric when your muscles really start to burn from the exercise.

Your brain senses the pain and releases pleasurable chemicals in your brain to mask it.

Lucky for me, the mouth burn and sweat are my only side effects. I've never been dyspeptic once I consumed the food. No upset stomach or burning shits. That stuff is my digestive system's bitch.

Speaking of Thai, one of my favorites is Larb. It's minced steak simmered in a thin brown Thai chili fish sauce with rice powder. Just the right amount of pure, non-vinegary heat.

I tend to prefer non vinegary heat these days. Just the chilis without the vinegar pickling like Tobasco or canned jalapenos. That's why I like the Scorpion pepper salt. It's a dry savory heat.

Oh I get that from eating chocolate, sniffing lavendar or vanilla or sex.

chocolate, lavender and vanilla release a different anxiety reducing chemical. It's a calm, but not a high. Still pleasurable, just not euphoric.

O.M.G. You eat, hot spicy food to get high?

This took a dramatic turn. I'm off to bed

LMAO

It got too hot in here, even for you.

My SO just went to bed, so I am off as well.

What's SO?

Significant Other.

Her significant other.

Yet to be determined if a man or a woman.

If'n you've noticed I have used the pronoun "he" and not "she."

Oh lol.

Actually I didn't notice.

ROFL

lol

You'll have to excuse my friend, he doesn't know what a pronoun is. Bless his heart.

Cut him some slack. He didn't notice.

My SO just went to bed too. I'll have her fall asleep and then I will attempt to Superman her.

Make sure you put your helmet on Lewey

Oh, mine's more like Clark Kent.

FYP

You don't need a helmet to Super Man her. Come on dude.

Superman dat ho!!! Google this if you'd like.

It's not like I nod out in my own drool. It's a mild natural euphoria.

Except for the sweat, I could eat spicy food and take a bar exam.

:facepalm: both of you
