My boyfriend is freaked out by condiments. He cant even stand to look at ketchup. The thought of Mayo makes him sick. BBQ sauce or salad dressing, maple syrup, A1, mustard, hot sauce, sour cream, dip, jam or jelly all makes him want to vomit, even if he's near it. He hates to even sit near me when I eat my food with this stuff although he has gotten used to it. He used to even make me rinse with mouth wash before he would kiss me after I ate some. He will eat, salt, butter, pepper, garlic powder and sometimes use olive oil. The weird thing is that he says he has never in his life tried any of this stuff. He's almost 28.
What gives. Is this normal? I think not.

Most of the males I know are very picky eaters....which is strange to me because I thought boys devoured everything in sight. Another example is my best male friend. He does not like anything creamy(ie: sour cream, butter, yogurt, salad dressing, etc). He complains about the texture and how the cold temperature of these ingredients aren't pleasant to him.
Maybe your boyfriend is the same way and doesn't like the thought of the texture and the consistency of condiments. This could be a sensory thing, but there's nothing wrong with that. It IS kind of strange how he gets so worked about being around condiments though. It's good that you are helping him get over his fear, haha. Maybe one day he'll try some!
I also in recovery from an eating disorder, and they always kept trying to tell me in rehab that this was part of it, and I told them it has nothing to do with it, that stuff is disgusting to! smell, texture, everything.
food tastes flavorful enough in my opinion.
My 'complex' is less severe than your Boyfriend's tbhough...
I don't know when it started but my parents swear that I used to like it in my toddler stages. Like I said, I don't remember it so I don't believe them as I find it is the most nasty stuff created.
My hatred toward peanut butter is so bad I won't kiss my girlfriend when she has eaten some and refuse to try anything even around peanut butter out of a rediculous fear of cross contamination.
i never tried mayonnaise, i HATE it
and i probably would feel disgusted with discovering its taste after kissing someone.. so i think it´s all right)
We will be awaiting the results!
I can't stand screaming because of when I was a kid... so maybe.
I actually dont even like the smell of ketchup :S is this normal ?
Having said that, I love HP sauce which has exactly the same consistency...
Wouldn't sit at the table f it was there.
