Got roasted for cold pizza with ketchup at a NYE party in Philly

So I was at this NYE party at my buddy Mike's place in Philly, and someone brought leftover pizza from Pats & Genos the night before. I grabbed a slice, squirted some ketchup on it, and ate it cold. Everyone in the room literally stopped talking and stared at me like I committed a crime. My friend's girlfriend said "that's the most disgusting thing I've ever seen" and I had to defend myself. Like, I get it, ketchup on pizza is weird to most people, but it's been my comfort food since I was a kid. My mom always served leftover pizza cold with ketchup on Fridays after school, and it brings back good memories. So now I'm wondering, am I the weird one here or do other people have some strange comfort food combo that gets them roasted? Has anyone else dealt with people judging your food choices that hard?

Damn right. Mayo on fries. People lose their minds.

Wait, did you guys catch that article about how mayo on fries is actually pretty common in like half of Europe? It's funny how people here act like it's some weird crime against food. I tried it once at a Belgian place and honestly it's way better than ketchup for the salty fries. The tangy creaminess just works with the crispiness.

Honestly I will never go back to ketchup after trying mayo on fries in Amsterdam. The salt and the fat just hit different together, you know? Ngl I used to judge people who did it until I actually tried it. Now I keep a little jar of good mayo in my fridge just for homemade fries. People who call it weird have clearly never had it with a proper crispy fry. Its just better, end of story.
