• Ketchup

    From Codefenix@21:4/141 to All on Saturday, October 05, 2024 11:48:46
    Ok. Real talk time.

    I've noticed for the past several years, ketchup as a condiment has become a highly polarizing topic.

    Like, those who dislike ketchup are vehemently opposed to it. As though the very idea that ketchup be anywhere near a hot dog is a crime against humankind.

    I don't get it. Ketchup is fine. Even good, I'll go as far to say.

    I will add this though: I never put ketchup on a brat or hotdog by itself; it is always joined with brown mustard and onions. Maybe some diced jalapeno if I happen to have any on hand.

    Genuinely curious what others think.

    I'm with you in that ketchup is okay. I just don't like it on my hotdog nor brat. I just wonder what all the polarization is about? Hike your own hike is my mantra.

    I haven't encountered this myself, but I have run into it with raisins and pickles. Both of which I like, but apparently some people are shocked, appalled, and incredulous to find them included in a dish.

    What I especially can't stand is people disagreeing with what *I* am eating. I'm not forcing *you* to eat it, so what do you care?

    Indeed. Ketchup is good on hot dogs, hamburgers and perhaps even mac and cheese.

    I don't go out of my way for ketchup but a hot dog is seriously lacking without it.

    No ketchup on hot dogs for me. Just mustard. I will put Ketchup on my burgers though. I'm also picky about which ketchup I'll eat but that's a whole other thing :P

    I hadn't really noticed ketchup being polarizing, but recently I have noticed more people saying they don't like ketchup on hot dogs. I don't really get that, because I've always liked my hot dogs with both ketchup and mustard (and I thought that was fairly popular) - and often that's all I put on my hot dogs.

    One time I saw someone dipping a tuna sandwich in ketchup, and I still haven't tried that, as I doubt I'd like it.

    I'm curious why not? When I make a hot dog, usually I put both ketchup and mustard on it. But I suppose it depends on what kind of hot dog - normally I do that with what I'd call regular American hot dogs; however, if it's a bratwurst, Polish sausage, or similar, I'd be apt to not use ketchup, and just mustard, and sometimes also sauerkraut. But I wouldn't put sauerkraut on a regular American-style hot dog.

    That's what I'm saying. It's great when it's part of the bunch.

    I used to have them with scrambled eggs. These days it's tabasco though, which is also good on mac and cheese.

    :) I don't always go by articles. I just know there are some food combinations I like, and it doesn't really matter to me what other people say about it. I do think sweet & savory can be a good combination, but it depends on the specific things. And I actually think ketchup is more tangy than sweet.

    I'd like that, but it might be good.

    I used to put it on Kraft Dinner when I was a kid, though I haven't eaten that stuff in years. Tasted great at the time.

    Is Kraft Dinner a specific thing, or a line of Kraft box meals or similar?

    Perhaps you don't have it over there, or it goes by another name. It's pretty ubiquitous in Canada. It's just "mac n' cheese" except slimy, poor quality, fluorescent yellow, and yes, comes as a box of noodles with some powdered "cheese".

    Ah, it's fairly common, but I've typically seen it just called Kraft Mac & Cheese. It looks like now they do have a "Macaroni & Cheese Dinner" and several other varieties. I've had it before, and I think it's okay for a quick macaroni & cheese. Sometimes I like to add tuna to it.

    I don't get it. Ketchup is fine. Even good, I'll go as far to say.

    I will add this though: I never put ketchup on a brat or hotdog by
    itself; it is always joined with brown mustard and onions. Maybe some
    diced jalapeno if I happen to have any on hand.

    Genuinely curious what others think.

    Ketchup goes on a full English, skillet, anything with fries (chips),
    hotdogs with grilled onions, and a few other things. Not pizza,
    pineapple goes on pizza :) Not usually with a "proper" meat meal like
    steak, chicken or pork.

    I've been asked this a lot, and my stock answer has evolved into:

    Duck eggs are about 25% bigger, and they taste 25% eggier. :)

    It's a more dense egg, so while it's the same flavor, it's a more pronounced one. Takes a little more work to get the "light and fluffy" consistency, but absolutely better for things like baking.

    Like, those who dislike ketchup are vehemently opposed to it. As though the very idea that ketchup be anywhere near a hot dog is a crime against humankind.

    The only crime committed is by those who fail to acknowledge how important condiments like ketchup are with a hot dog.

    Ketchup + onion + mustard or mayo (or garlic mayo is better) is the perfect combo.

    Over here in NZ we have some sugary tasteless slop called tomato sauce that everyone likes for some reason. Proper ketchup is far superior.

    Over here in NZ we have some sugary tasteless slop called tomato sauce that everyone likes for some reason. Proper ketchup is far superior.

    In the US, I think it is the other way round. Ketchup/catsup is going to
    have the added sugar or corn syrup, while tomato sauce is usually thicker
    and is less sweet. Tomato paste is even thicker still and almost certainly
    has no added sweetners or flavors.

    The only crime committed is by those who fail to acknowledge how
    important condiments like ketchup are with a hot dog.

    Top Dog, my local doggery (if that isn't a word, it is now) made cooked
    to order hot dogs and a variety of sausages. They had a collection of
    mustards with artisanal/snooty descriptions ("Alsatian mustard seeds,
    crushed by hand, with hints of vinegar and spices")

    Next to Ketchup, it said "Smooshed up tomatoes - IT'S GOOD!"

    Apparently Catsup/Ketchup used to be two different condiments. Catsup
    was more spicy/savory, apparently.

    I encountered catsup during a trip to Cuba ~15 years ago, and it definitely wasn't ketchup as I know it. Savory and with some olive flavor to it IIRC, not so sweet and vinegary as I'm used to.

    (I think "catsup" is just an alternate spelling and different regions have their own interpretation of the sauce. In the Phillipines, apparently banana ketchup is quite popular.)

    Now I might like that. It's the too sweet aspect of ketchup that I
    am not a fan of.

    Popular in Jamica as well, I grabbed a bottle of the banana
    stuff from a Jamican market in Toronto and guess what? Can't
    tell the difference from tomato... that's how much sugar is in
    the stuff. LOL

    They might still be. My limited experience with them is that one (catsup)
    was generally a lot cheaper than the other. Once supermarket chains like Kroger and Walmart started selling their own "generic" ketchup, I quit
    seeing catsup available.

    I will have to keep my eyes open the next time I am shopping.

    Didn't know that, but I can definitely see that being a Mr. Gouda's or Grace product. I'll keep an eye out for it next time I'm in one of those shops.

    I should have said, yes it was a Grace product. I quite like their
    "extra hot" pepper sauce. It's not quite hot, but has a nice flavour
    if you like the vineger based ones.

    A good one for having flavour and not destroying your mouth with capsaicin like some sauces do. I've tried a few of their others, but that's the one I keep going back to. It's a step up from Frank's in flavour, but on the same spiciness tier.

    My favourite hot sauce, which I haven't had in years, was from Stasis Preserves and had ghost peppers and apple cider vinegar among other ingredients. Lots of heat but also a lot of flavour. They currently sell a "Ghost Chili" sauce which I think is the same thing - but it's sold out on their Shopify store. :(

    Exactly!

    That's it. Andrea bought me a big jar of Frank's so that's what I'm going through now.

    My favorite one is one I made. Of course I didn't write down the recipe
    and I can't remember everything in it. LOL It was the third time I made
    hot sauce and the flavours in it were amazing. Even people at work liked
    it though the Sri Lankin's all said it had no heat at all. I now write down what I put in when I'm playing with things just in case. :)

    When I was a very small person, my grandmother would say, "catsup." I thought it was some quaint depression era affectation of ketchup until I saw a bottle actually labeled "catsup" in her fridge.

    I do vaguely recall it tasting different than the ketchup my parents had, but I never really thought about that difference until now.
