Saucing it Up, Carnivore Diet Style
Have you ever been chowing down on a delicious steak and thought, "Man, this could use some pizazz"? Well, I'm here to tell you, my fellow primal eaters, that carnivore diet sauces are a thing! Oh, yes, they are.
But how do you smother your meats in saucy goodness without derailing your carnivorous ways?
Mayo
First off, let's talk mayo. I've been trying to cut back on the classic mayo because *whispers* it has seed oils (I know, I know). So, I got this brilliant idea: I should look into homemade mayo recipes made with pure animal products! Imagine the creamy goodness on a hunk of steak. Will I become the next Julia Child of the carnivore diet? Stay tuned.

Gravy
Let's get to the mother of all carnivore diet meat sauces - Gravy! You're probably thinking, "Seb, gravy? Really?" Oh, my friends, the world of gravy is vast and delectable. Meat juice and cream or yogurt have been my best friends lately. Do you feel like royalty with a drizzle of sauce on your meat? I sure do. Like, can someone pass me a crown and a turkey leg?
Alright, so, confession time. I'm not exactly a carnivore purist. Yes, I said it! A little spice never hurt anybody, right? I've got to be honest; I can't imagine a world without paprika and garlic salt. If you are like me and have a love affair with seasoning, I've got your back with some seasoned advice.
Mustard
Moving on to mustard on a carnivore diet – is it a sin or a win? This is the golden question. Well, remember when I said I'm not a strict carnivore? Let me tell you, mustard mayo is my kryptonite. Picture this: leftover cold roast beef slices with a light spreading of mustard mayo. I had this gem last night and still daydream about it. So, the answer, my friends, is a resounding WIN!
Ketchup
Now, what's the deal with ketchup on the carnivore diet? Does it have a place? To be frank (see what I did there?), I'm giving ketchup the cold shoulder. Tomatoes are part of the 'deadly nightshade' family, which sounds like something Batman would warn me about. So, no ketchup for this carnivore!
So, is it possible to have a carnivore diet and still indulge in saucy goodness?
Absolutely!
Let's be honest. We're not cavemen (though our diets suggest otherwise). It's all about finding that perfect blend of indulgence and staying true to the carnivore path.

Alright, guys, till next time, keep those grills hot and the sauces sizzling. Stay saucy, my friends! 🥩🔥
I'm not an expert, so take my mayo experiments with a grain of salt (or a dollop of mustard). This is all about sharing my own adventures in the carnivore-verse. Happy eating! ↩
