I used to also not be able to eat rice without butter and sugar OR teriyaki sauce (over this as well)

I can't eat mashed potatoes without gravy

I can't eat hummus without carrots or red peppers

    I really don't enjoy pizza without a soda to go along with it.

    My hummus needs raw veggies (preferably carrots, broccoli or cauliflower but any raw veggie will do the trick in a pinch).

    I can eat an apple without slathering peanut butter on the slices but it's just not nearly as good.

    SAME!!! I love ranch...take away my ranch and I'll eat maybe half a slice of pizza and then give up in disappointment.

    Also:
    Mac n Cheese without ketchup
    Eggs without ketchup
    Borsht without sour cream, a slice of bread and fresh onion/garlic on the side (its a Slavic thang)
    Chili without sour cream and cheese

    ...man there's more...I'll be back thread

    I cant eat rice or quinoa without Chinese soy sauce. .....Japanese soy sauce will do in a pinch, but just barely! I'd probably just go without.

    Oreos without milk. Oreos are one of my favorite cookies, but I genuinely don't like them without milk.

    this one is a little weird, but i can't eat pasta with just spaghetti sauce on it, i have to have something to give it some creaminess, but i don't do dairy, so i end up adding something like vegenaise or nutritional yeast.

    Ooh, maybe I will try the yeast in mine. I don't always want to add cheese but I do like it creamy.
