I couldn’t help but notice that Ketchup, Mustard, Mayo, and many other condiments not having much use other than straight up drinking it and perhaps some limited use in crafting.

So here’s my suggestion, allow players to (a)ctivate say, some ketchup and apply it to any food item. Such as some freshly cooked meat, for instance.

You now have a Cooked Meat+!

Higher enjoyability and slightly higher nutrition to boot! Perhaps even sprinkle a little salt on there.

Of course applying certain condiments to certain foods should result in negative enjoyment, like adding ketchup to blueberries, or cereal!

Ketchup goes with anything if you’re hungry enough.

Hell I’ve had ketchup on bread and dry ramen. Fucking chemistry degree, piece of shit.

I eat mayo with pizza. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. But it has to be real mayo though.

I guess my optimism makes me immune to such things which is good I guess. Also 10/10 would Mayo again to the OP’s idea.

I imagine a gourmand character wouldn’t mind putting condiments on literally everything, though a non-gourmand character would probably be a little pickier.

Maybe foods can have sweet or savoury tags depending on what they are. Food items get boosts in enjoyability if they’re of matching types. A modest boost to nutrition, even if not.

Just needs Tabasco.

I agree on this suggestion.

Reminds me of my lazy days in highschool. I used to go straight to the kitchen after school, get a bread, shove whatever I found inside the pots (Mostly pasta or rice) and then unleash mustard, ketchup or other sauces in it. On nom nom nom.

I don’t know why, but I’m seeing this as working like weapon attachments and I think it’s hilarious. Can’t put on my Mustard because the [TOP OF BURGER] slot already has Ketchup. Dammit.

But I wholeheartedly support this.

A while back I came up with some convoluted system for condiments, trying to do something like this, just with a lot more… uh, detail.

Frankly I’d just like to see condiments dealt with in some fashion. I mostly like the idea of condiments having a different enjoyment value when eaten by themselves than with something else. Mayo by itself should be low, even negative enjoyment.

What I tried to do was come up with a way to connect condiment types with food types so that they could be flagged as good/neutral/poor combinations and adjust the enjoyment value thusly.

I don’t recommend it. Down that way lies madness.

The + idea seems like a good place to start, though.
