From: biolizardfan | #049 So if a condiment applies to your nacho theory, it's a condiment, but if it's a counter-example, then it's a topping?
Well for pancakes, you're supposed to stack them so the top one gets soaked, but the lower ones are dry, so you can control how much syrup goes into your bite. There's also the extra syrup that pools on the sides that you can dip into.
From: Dauntless Hunter | #050 how the **** is cheese on fries a topping but cheese on nachos is a condiment
The answer is simple.
No sane man would eat nachos without cheese, while fries or any other food are completely edible sans cheese.

From: Dauntless Hunter | #052 plenty of people eat chips with salsa or guac or some other dip
and fries are plenty edible without ketchup, so is ketchup now a fry topping by your logic (hint: it is)
Ketchup is unilaterally a condiment, though.
Cheese is situational.
Also, tortilla chips with salsa or guacamole or what have you... well, I've never seen those not be dipped, so they're irrelevant to the argument at hand.
From: FacePalmer | #061 and wait by your definition cheese is definitely a topping, not a condiment
what is happening
I'm not saying cheese isn't a topping or a condiment. What it is is irrelevant. The chief point is that nachos are the only food that should be covered in anything. Any other food where you have the option of cover/dip/neither, you pick either dip or neither.
If you don't have all three options, it's not a food that is subject to the discussion. You wouldn't dip a hot dog in relish, thus it is not involved. Etc
That is the point.

I've had dry ribs that come with sauce on the side for dipping, it works pretty well
and mashed potatoes definitely are better covered and not dipped (you can dip mashed potatoes... like if you get KFC potatoes the gravy comes separate and you can dip your fork in there)
