Oh wow, I was with you on the catsup (ketchup) only because I don’t like catsup, lol, but it’s really crossing the line coming after my pizza with ranch dressing. Now you’ve lost me! 😉😂

2 questions:

***In that case, what do you have against kids under 10?

***Is it appropriate to "slather" ketchup on "halal"?

Let's go to dinner, I'll buy you a rack of ribs. Or breakfast and I'll buy you some bacon.

That was unnecessary. The same could be said about fish on Fridays or foregoing some food during Lent, or mixing meat and dairy. The OP is entitled to have food preferences, and some dietary prohibitions are more deeply seeded. Would anyone expect our Hindu friends to chow down on filet mignon?

Be Grateful You Have Food
 

Talk about a first world problem. There are millions of people in this world who don’t know where their next meal is coming from and you’re complaining publicly about ketchup? Just be thankful for what you have and shut up.

I only buy sugar free ketchup.

OP must have a serious lack of serotonin to be bothered about ketchup consumption. Reminds me of a grumpy old man that told me I shouldn't be wearing pig tails at my age.
Let's remember a very wise song by The Beatles: "Let it Be"!!!

You must have no life to worry about what other people put on their food. Sad

A lot of the food that is served in the Villages needs Ketchup.

Actually ketchup is great! It goes perfectly with French Fries. And a bit on burgers works too. I always have ketchup and mustard in my cupboard!!

Nope! If you are over the age of 10, you cannot eat ribs without making other diners disgusted. Barbecue sauce is flavored ketchup. Ketchup is flavored tomato sauce. Does this mean I can't eat pasta and pizza in front of other diners? What about tomato soup?

Well, aren't you just the ketchup connoisseur? It's like you've unlocked the secret to culinary sophistication by banishing the red nectar from your dining table. Who needs flavor enhancements when you've got such refined taste buds, right? Let's just hope the ketchup lovers don't catch wind of your elitist stance or there might be a condiment coup on the horizon! 🍅😁😅

In the U.S., French fries should be eaten with ketchup. In the U.K., chips should have salt and vinegar on them, and there should be no ketchup in sight. In other places, fries are served with gravy, cheese curds, or mayonnaise. Ketchup may not be especially healthy, but it’s as healthy as most desserts or sodas. It improves the flavor of many foods, just as does a great many sauces. Too much meet tastes a lot like cardboard, and sauce helps. Even expensive steakhouses put butter on their steaks.

Click-Bait
 

This must be a joke or a person that has way too much free time to be so concerned with what others do with their food. Not sure if their food or the ketchup was/is bothering you so why be so concerned?

Meatloaf needs ketchup.

No ketchup?...No pig tails? We’ve lost our way! ;)

Matter of freedom to do whatever one wants to do!

Start a club

My Kraft Heinz (KHC) stock has flatlined at 34.84 since this thread started. Back to frozen concentrated orange juice and pork bellies. Sell Mortimer!

Sounding like more government control idea? No 32oz soda’s either. Hey sugar is very bad for you but freedom of choice needs to remain in America. Education is best.

We consider it gourmet meat sauce.

I'll eat ketchup whenever on whatever I want. I'm not one to worry about what people eat, but I was fascinated once in a lunch place in Indiana. The waitress brought the man four slices of white bread stacked on a plate, and some butter. He buttered the top piece completely, then picked up the glass sugar pourer pottle and proceeded to pour sugar all over he buttered bread, folded it and ate it. Then did that three more times. I was mesmerized. I will say, it looked delicious.

I asked AI for a definitive description of ketchup usage.

Ketchup, you are the perfect condiment that elevates any meal to the next level. Your rich, tangy flavor pairs perfectly with so many foods, from burgers and fries to eggs and grilled cheese. You bring a burst of flavor and brightness to every dish you touch, making it impossible to imagine a world without you. Thank you for being such a versatile and delicious addition to our meals. You truly are the king of condiments!

I'm sorry but their ain't no way I am eating my fries without ketchup!

This is delicious!! I first had this as a teen at a little fish & chips restaurant back int CT. French fries are good no matter what, to me anyway. Plain no seasoning at all, with salt, with lots of ketchup, with mayo and as you said malt vinegar, which goes great combined with ketchup.

Yes it is.

Pizza and blue cheese dressing ... yum!!

Beat me to it!!!!:posting:

Please tell me you don't go up to people in restaurants and say this....:throwtomatoes:

Five pages of comments about condiments! People get a life!

Ketchup
 

Meatloaf,Hot Dogs, Hamburger are all enhanced by a big squirt of ketchup!!

Yes! If they ever got a taste of it. Heck! I'd eat human meat if it wasn't so salty and porkie. Or so I've been told. (Ahem. That wa close.) 🙄

Just look away! Since when do you decide what others do?

Jeffrey Dahmer has checked in! ;)

This comment goes with his age. Both useless to others. How about just minding your own business and let people enjoy what they want. SMFH

More accurately---5 pages of comments INCLUDING YOURS! :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

What does everyone have against ketchup? Why not mustard just as much sugar just as much additives mayonnaise just as bad for you barbecue sauce which is just ketchup with a lot of sugar. It goes down to taste I like ketchup on my hotdogs. Some people think this is just as bad as eating thick crust pizza.

Who says that ketchup is made for kids? Ketchup is the most popular and the greatest food condiment ever concocted.

there goes my steak dinner! :shocked:

Mustard has sugar????? Not the kind I buy. I guess if you get honey mustard, you might get some honey. But whether that is real honey is an open question.
