Condimental Divide 

When you and your romantic partner, spouse, family member, or friend share opposing, strong opinions about a specific condiment, such as ketchup/catsup or mayonnaise.
-As coined by Mark Garrison on the podcast "The Sporkful".
Person 1: "You like Miracle Whip? Gross!"
Person 2: "No, mayo is gross; Miracle Whip is good."
Person 1: "We can't hang out anymore. I can't get over the Condimental Divide."

Person 1: "I dumped my girlfriend because she put ketchup on her hot dog. That's just WRONG!"
Person 2: "Another relationship destroyed by the Condimental Divide."

condimental 

To over-estimate how many condiments such as salt, pepper, hot sauce or ketchup packets you needed to bring back with you to your table while dining at a fast food restaurant.

When grabbing way too many self-serve condiments, you become a mix of the words "condiment" and "mental".
Will: "Do we really need this many salt packets?"
Benjamin: "Sorry dude, I went a little bit condimental."

condimentia 

When you can't remember if you have a condiment every time you go to the store, resulting in many duplicate bottles of several condiments.
While putting groceries away, Patty noticed we already had 4 other bottles of Miracle Whip. "Damn, my condimentia is really getting bad."

Sis: Dad, why did the mustard, relish, horseradish, and barbecue sauce all end up in front of you?

Me: Haven't you ever heard of "condimental drift"?

anti-condimentalist 

Someone who believes food tastes better plain and opposes using ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard or relish.
David Smith flat out refuses to try mayo on his turkey sandwich. He's such an anti-condimentalist!

Condimentarianism 

Dietary habits marked by the religious use of a condiment or condiments

Condimentarians view food as merely a vessel for the consumption of what are commonly considered culinary accessories. Many have a general affinity for various toppings, sauces, and pastes, but extremists often find themselves with a single condiment of choice with which they coat most of their intake.
Once again at the mercy of his condimentarianism, Frank tossed his French fries out the window when he realized that the drive-thru attendant had forgotten his ketchup.
