I am wondering that what if I find myself in a country that is dietarily halal so I can get no bacon or other pork; it has a significant Hindu population so I can get no beef yet I am dying for a hamburger. OK, I find a halal cafe that serves camelburgers. What type of condiments might be available if ketchup and mustard are not?

:smiley: When I met my husband he told me that when he was growing up his family put grape jelly on grilled cheese sandwiches. I was shocked, and disgusted and said "This is how people from PA eat?" Then I tried it, after all how could I knock it without trying it, right? It IS delicious. Before you roll your eyes think cheese Danish. This is what it tastes like. I changed from having it with grape jelly to strawberry preserves. I bet it would be good with apple preserves too but haven't tried it. And I'll admit there have been times I've dipped a grilled cheese sandwich in mayo.

See so many adults slathering it on everything before they even taste their food. Why put on a sugary/vinergar glop on perfectly good tasting food.

You’re not from Pittsburgh, I can tell.

And lets not talk about those that dip pizza in ranch dressing.

I don't like the smell of ketchup, but I have no phobia or special loathing for it. I'm right with you on the pizza-dipping nightmare. In fact I'm a bit perplexed by the obsession with ranch dressing. People down here dip their buffalo wings in the stuff. And if you ask for blue cheese dressing for your hot wings, they charge extra, or just add blue cheese crumbles to their ranch dressing, or both. And some restaurants "feature" ranch dressing as the condiment for ALL their sandwiches. That stuff is just nasty. Ranch dressing's only saving grace is that it isn't Miracle Whip.

First off, you wouldn't eat a camel meat. That's kinda like eating horse meat.

You'd probably have a falafel, or a black bean pattie in a pita pocket, with plenty of tahini, or hummus if you want something more pasty than tahini. You might have lamb, with tahini, tziziki, or mint leaves. Or roast eggplant with zaatar in a creamy yogurt sauce with other veggies over rice.

SO many amazing awesome choices for halal dining. And don't forget the Halavah with pistachios for dessert.

I have eaten horse meat as a child in the US and as an adult in France and found it pretty good. I love lamb, hummus and eggplant but found mutton tough and strong in a Navajo stew. Camel steaks are available at specialty markets although I never tried them.

I am wondering what the OP means by white sauce and hot sauce. There are so many hot sauces out there.

Next Saturday I am going to get some menudo. I enjoy a variety of vittles.

Pretty sure white sauce is a yogurt-based sauce, like tzaziki. Hot sauce would be a chili sauce, either red or green.

I always ate field rations in those places.

Ranch dressing, from some article i read recently, is now the number one condiment. Beats out ketchup, mayo and mustard.

The combination of spices is just so horrible, it makes everything taste like salty, rotting mayonnaise. Nothing against mayo OR buttermilk - but combining the two with garlic, mustard, and salt is just - wrong.

Where I am, it's pouring with rain outside, my neck is killing me and the painkillers are not working, our car insurance renewal has doubled in price, and the neighbor has gone out, and their b*****y won't stop barking.
Believe me, a discussion on the merits of Ranch Dressing is very entertaining!

Joe C. 03-12-2024 07:35 AM

OK ..... after reading every post on this blog, I will say that I have eaten camel meat and kangaroo. It was pretty good AND, I didn't need ketchup. But I did have some alcohol with the meal.

Yes. Not many, but a few. I drove past one near Kissimmee/Celebration a while back. It appeared pretty busy, but I didn't stop. I don't remember exactly where it was, but in that area somewhere.

Why do you care? Does it affect your food? I don't complain about what you put on yours. I hate mustard, yet I don't care if you use it. Why do you care what I put on my food???? Lucky for you that you have nothing more important to worry about.

Mayo is used much to often especially with cold cuts.

This is child's play compared to the great "Is ketchup a vegetable?" controversy of 1981.

LonnyP 03-12-2024 11:13 AM

Because it tastes good?

What is this site for, if not a bit of frivolous nonsense.
Certainly not for in depth discussion of current affairs, or a good argument.
That's banned.
Ketchup is permitted. Along with dog poop, roundabouts and golf course complaints.
The knitting circle has it own forum!

Gpsma 03-12-2024 11:51 AM

My original post was meant to elicit serious thoughtful discussion of the worst condiment ever invented.

Im glad to see that many have made serious comments.

Ketchup, as distasteful as it is ,needs to be discussed.

It definitely needs discussion, and let's face it, we haven't even touched on the gender orientation or preferences of the mixed ingredients yet.
I mean, is tomato paste actually comfortable in the presence of garlic?

Do people who put vinegar on fried foods have a right to comment on ketchup? Asking for a friend.
