I don't know if its just an autism thing but I dont understand why people like condiments.

Maybe? Us neurospicy folks are not a monolith. We've got the autism hat trick in our house, and the three of us have condiment quirks as follows:

1. Despises anything sweet unless it's accompanied by an intensely spicy component to balance it.
2. Sweet only. Ketchup is the high bar for what counts as sweet (probably because of all the corn syrup).
3. Ketchup. Full stop.

Sometimes a meal needs more fat or more acid, and condiments are a good way to do that.

I am a big condiment enjoyer, the taste/textures don't bother me personally, but I do not understand these abominations

I think I get the texture thing, I prefer strong flavored condiments where I can taste it without having to add so much that it makes a wet mess. This half mayo bullshit is the worst of both worlds.

All condiments or just the anglo ones? Things like toum or soy sauce are also condiments.
