The Bottom Line Is: As far away from a natural food as you can get, Sapporo Ichiban Ramen noodles contain trans fats (partially hydrogenated palm oil), is very high in sodium (687 mg per serving), and full of artificial flavors including MSG.

Me: give me a cocktail recipe containing sherry and cheese ChatGPT: Here is a recipe for a delicious cocktail that combines sherry and cheese:
The Sherry Cheese Cocktail
Ingredients:
1 1/2 ounces dry sherry 1 1/2 ounces gin 1/2 ounce orange liqueur 1/2 ounce lemon juice 1/2 ounce honey syrup 1/4 ounce blue cheese-infused simple syrup 1/4 teaspoon grated Parmesan cheese 1/4 teaspoon orange zest Ice
Instructions:
1. To make the blue cheese-infused simple syrup, combine 1/4 cup of water and 1/4 cup of sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. 2. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of crumbled blue cheese. Allow to cool completely. 3. To make the honey syrup, combine 1/2 cup of honey and 1/2 cup of water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the honey. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely. 4. To make the cocktail, combine all of the ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker with ice and shake well. 5. Strain the cocktail into a chilled glass and garnish with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese and a strip of orange zest.
This Sherry Cheese Cocktail is a unique and tasty drink that combines the rich, nutty flavor of sherry with the tangy, salty notes of blue cheese and Parmesan. The orange liqueur and lemon juice add a bright, citrusy touch, while the honey syrup adds a touch of sweetness. This is a perfect cocktail for sipping on a cold winter night or for enjoying as an aperitif before a special meal.

a strong aversion to common condiments is a suitable culinary opinion for a child imo. ketchup is not "gross", it's tomato, vinegar and sugar. even if one had never tasted ketchup before, you could a priori logically deduce that that combination of ingredients tastes good. mustard, mayonnaise, relish, hoisin, worcestershire, cholula, sriracha, hp, and just about any other sauce dip or spread you can name, are all basically delicious

I love ketchup on nice hot crispy fries, but the smell of leftover ketchup on my kids' plates after a meal nauseates me.
My uncool culinary stance is that balsamic vinegar is vomit-inducing and should never be used in any dish without express written consent. Particularly galling is when restaurants cook you a nice meal and then do 'fun' lattice-work of balsamic over everything, thus ruining it.

If anything, I’d argue ketchup is underrated, and deserves more than “on fries”. I’ve had ketchup on sub sandwiches (in addition to mayo and mustard) and it’s great. I’ve had it on burritos and it’s great. In both contexts it’s a contributing flavor but it works.. it even works alongside curry-based dishes as a quasi-chutney.
Ketchup does not belong in pad thai, tho, that is some bullshit that must end

This is something that I've read about the 0-calorie fake sugars too (stevia et al). Not only does eating sweet things make you want to eat more sweet things, I've heard that the brain registers the sweetness but not the attendant caloric boost and so it gets hijacked into eating more.
