I do not like french fries,
Once in a while they are done right, crisp on the outside and hot with just the right amount of salt...but that is so rare, like Big Foot or the Loch Ness monster.
Most of the time they are greasy and limp (limp is not a good look on anything)3 -

Totally agree with this! I feel like I either can't quite taste the cheese anyway (so why bother) or it overpowers the burger. Same with cheese on most sandwiches, unless it's a grilled cheese obviously.

Okay... but have you ever had cheese on a burger fresh off the grill?? Put the cheese on the burger patty the last couple minutes of cooking, put the lid on the grill and it get's a nicely-smoked flavor.3 -
I am indifferent toward steak. It is fine, I will have a steak every once in a while, but I'm not like "OMG I'M HAVING STEAK TONIGHT!" crazy about it like most people I know, lol.1

I'm the same. When I have steak it is usually sliced thin and in fajitas or quesadillas.
Beef carpaccio on the other hand... I crave it1 -

Glad I am not the only one. I think this is one of those "chefy" things where butter makes everything better, and therefore, loads of butter on everything. No one really eats like this every day.
Right?? I also don't get butter on crab legs or lobster! Or butter garlic shrimp??? Takes away from it. Butter on the baked potato that comes with the steak though... that's a given0 -

I have no real problem with ketchup; I'm not fond of mayonnaise. However! I did try mayonnaise when breading a chicken cutlet, and found it worked nicely and that I didn't taste the mayonnaise once it was all cooked up.
I think I scribbled earlier that, until my teens, I never had pasta with tomato sauce. My mother cooked it with ketchup. My old-time Italian friend sighed and nodded when I mentioned it once. "Yep. Jewish spaghetti," he said.1 -

Well you lost me here lol
Bland things like shrimp need a bit of help. Mopping that buterry sauce with a nice crusty bread ohhhh yes
I actually like the bland flavor haha... but if I am going to dress up seafood or shellfish I like it in a ceviche.0 -

Going to come out against ketchup (well, for me, others can have it if they like it), and in favor of garlic and butter in general (including on shrimp). My favorite way to eat shrimp, though, is as part of a stirfry or pasta sauce, so I often have it without butter, but nothing wrong with butter on it.
Also good with butter -- skate cooked in brown butter. But I doubt that's an unpopular opinion.1 -

Nope. Absolutely not. (I find the egg thing especially weird, but I know it's common. My mom did it.)0 -

I'm weird... I don't like ketchup on french fries (prefer ranch dressing) but like it on hashbrowns and breakfast potatoes.0 -

Pepper on fries works very nicely.0 -
Mac and Cheese is absolutely gross unless you add either ketchup, tuna, or peas.
The ketchup on its own. The tuna and peas are good together, though.0 -

Mac and cheese is fine, not something I really care about, but the idea of adding either ketchup or tuna to it horrifies me (granted, I don't like ketchup, as mentioned above, and canned tuna is one of the foods I find most repulsive (tuna steak or sushi is great, but not with mac & cheese). Peas don't sound appealing with mac & cheese either, but not as terrible.
Broccoli, on the other hand, is good with mac and cheese, and so is pulled pork, but there are other things more worth the cals good with broccoli and pulled pork.0 -

French fries, baked potatoes, salads, eggs, steak.... there are very few things that I wouldn't eat salsa on - ice cream comes to mind as one of those things.1 -
I really love homemade tartar sauce on french fries.2

I guess I'm just not a salsa fan... The idea of salsa on potatoes is a little strange for me0
