I was going to suggest the infamous Noory “This my mug.”

It doesn’t appear to be readily available any more.  Sob, sob.  :'(

Hmmm.  Either they fly off the shelves and can't keep them in stock, or they didn't sell and were discontinued.  I wonder which it is.

Wait, maybe they're stuck somewhere in the supply chain crisis!

It should be especially good for stirring up any hipster coffee hangouts.  ;)

I was surprised I couldn’t even find any used ones on eBay.  Just some generic C2C mugs with what appeared to be a reproduction of Snorge’s scrawled signature. 

The “This is my mug” cups are probably valued keepsakes amongst the lovelorn cat ladies.

Well, I knew Hitler would come up if I brought up coffee mugs.   ::)

He liked beans too. Cheese and beans, soft foods.  Apparently he was a rather flatulent fellow.  ..Ya know the more I hear about this guy..   :-\

And while soukraut is good for you, it isn't exactly an intestinal silent ride through through Valhalla.  :-\

Me too.

No joke is worth losing good coffee.

Milk  yes.

But never the holy bean.

Godwin and coffee mugs.  Who knew?  Maybe this will be more timely. ;)

P.S. - I’d recommend accompanying it with a T-90 tank for any deep sojourns into Austin.

It’s not like the subject comes up over a cup of coffee.

I've always admired your wit.  Have your kids figured out that you are adverse to condiments?  :D

Huh. Well how about that?  I was planning on going with the Führer tea kettle but that is sooo much better.

You would think they would because they ask me for mayo or miracle whip every time they are in my kitchen.   If I was them I wouldn’t eat any condiments inside the fridge. I have no idea where they came from, who left them there or how long they’ve been in there. I actually look forward to when the electricity goes out for a few days. I can throw all of the crap out without feeling guilty.

About 15-20 years ago, there was a guy that survived for days after crashing down the side of the mountain in the snow in WV. If I understand correctly he was trapped in his vehicle and survived on packets of taco sauce or ketchup. If I had to die due to absence of ketchup I would die with my chin held high. I couldn’t find that article but I found a similar story about a guy in Oregon from 2019. I’m not adverse to taco sauce unless it’s that crap mixed with guacamole.

https://didyouknowfacts.com/a-man-trapped-in-the-snow-for-5-days-survived-on-taco-sauce-packets/

I don’t consider barbecue sauce to be a condiment as long as it is applied during cooking. After that it kind of crosses the line.

I’d probably get accused of being a hypocrite for putting butter on toast or for adding nam pla (fish sauce) to Thai food. My defense would be that they just didn’t add enough of those before/as they were cooking.

Back in the early 80s I tried really hard to learn to eat ketchup with French fries. There was a burger joint that cut fresh potatoes throughout the day and fried them in peanut oil. Everyone raved about their fries and ketchup. 5 straight times I tried and couldn’t do it. Went back to just salt. Probably haven’t tasted ketchup since unless someone put it top of a slice of meatloaf (prior to cooking).

Salsa is a grey area. I eat lots of salsa. To keep from getting called a hypocrite I use my own bowl and just consider it to be like gazpacho, only eaten with a chip instead of a spoon.

So how can I love salsa and even barbecue sauce but gag over the taste of ketchup?  Must be tied to some traumatic event as a child.

Mayonnaise is different. It just tastes like shit. But I eat eggs. And I don’t mind the taste of vinegar in anything else so maybe as a kid another traumatic event happened.

p.s. @ShayP I have had short somewhat pleasant encounters with mayonnaise/miracle whip and even mustard.  And not Falkie/Sweet Kathy type encounters so get your mind out of Martinez.

My son’s mother made a potato salad. Don’t remember if she used mayonnaise or miracle whip. With what would probably be considered a lot of mustard. I think potatoes and Bermuda onions were the only other ingredients. I used to like her potato salad but only if it was really cold. Couldn’t do it if it sat out for more than a few minutes.

My other foray into the mustardverse started with a street vendor at the bobrun in St Moritz. I bought a bratwurst which came with a hard roll and a small tube of mild mustard of some sort. I could never find that mustard in a store over there. I tried expanding on this newly awakened taste bud and probably went through 2-3 jars of grey poupon when I got back to the states until I decided it just complicated my life, cost money and took extra time in food preparation. But I’ve used mustard powder in stuff that calls for it and it’s don’t really mind the taste.

I guess it really boils down to the fact that these condiments mask or change the taste of the meal being eaten. I like to bite into a sandwich with a hearty bread, meat, cheese, lettuce, onions, tomato and taste each individual flavor as the come together inside the pie hole. If I take a bite of a sandwich with mayonnaise or mustard then that’s all I taste.

Maybe somebody asked you to use ketchup and mayo as a skin lotion in your youth.
