I guess basil and garlic don't count...nor does the smidgen of tomato sauce in the pizza rolls (which are gross fried frozen things stuffed with pepperoni and cheese, in this context. I can't stand them). Funny how people compartmentalize foods like that; when I'm cooking, I mainly think of onions as condiments, and I don't think of potatoes as veggies so much as I do a starch like pasta.
I think in a lot of guys it's machismo--vegetables and things like herbs are seen as "chick food" by a certain lowest common cultural denominator (ditto with sweets), and eating meaty or spicy food can be some sort of weird masculine ritual. It's so weird, how in some ways our conception of food hasn't changed since the Victorian era.
