"Adults" who use Ketchup

Ketchup is necessary on burgers, with fries, and on home fries. I also use it on baked beans and Stouffers mac and cheese. It is Heinz, and indeed a sin on hot dogs. My wife puts it on white rice which is going too far.

One siracha tip: on baked sweet potatoes. Awesome.
 
First off the burger dog above was visionary. I love Heinz ketchup on fries and hot dogs. On burgers though I like A1 sauce. I know I am a rebel. Anyway for those ketchup haters out there you could always go with

Let's continue our food discussions.

What is the attraction of Ketchup?

Is it some nostalgic taste of childhood?

Is it because its the only "food stuff" that hits all 5 flavor senses? (umami, sweetness, sourness, bitterness, and saltiness)

The above fact seems to make it more of a mask than a flavor enhancer. Does this mean we are eating foods that need to be masked?

School me on your uses for Ketchup. I have been off Ketchup for quite awhile, but Im willing to try peoples rec's to gain a better understanding and possibly find something I like it on. Currently I only occasionally use it on my Wifes meatloaf. It doesnt wreck it. It doesnt really make it that much better either. Ive found no other use yet.

Help a lost soul out please.

Catsup on burgers. Catsup on mearloaf. Catsup on fries. Catsup on mac n cheese.

Hot Dogs? gross? Oh man I love Hot Dogs, but I will agree that your garden variety supermarket hot dogs are nasty.
I have a seasonal hot dog regimen.
Summer grilling months. Only Natural casing Hummels (or comparable natural casing and only on the grill) Man the snap you get on the first bite of a properly grilled GOOD natural casing hot dog is a revelation. Problem is I am one of the few who knows how to grill them right and can get a good char on them without them splitting wide open. (I accept paypal if you want my secret) I cant tell you how many times Ive brought a beautiful box of Natural casing hummels to back yard BBQ's and watched the host make a mess out of them. They arent supposed to split wide open. All the juices and goodness run out.

winter hot dogging. That is "water dog" time where I have a home setup to approximate an NYC hot dog steam cart. In these months my dog of choice is Hebrew National for the water dog treatment. Sabretts will do in a pinch. Water dogs are totally different than grilled Natural casings but are equally as delectable.

May I point out that in both cases Ketchup is skipped? Or is that a given?

Your hot dog game is strong. Mustard, chopped onions, and relish are hopefully available.

I thought I was the only one who did the ketchup on mac and cheese maneuver. Actually, probably haven't it in a few years as I now use sriracha instead.

For some reason it's great on the frozen stuff but not on the boxed varieties. I was going to switch out ketchup for siracha on all my foods, but don't always want the heat.
 
Not that anyone gives a flying duckk but...I only do ketchup on Fair fries. The hand-cut ones. With the vinegar.

Beside that, ketchup is dead to me.
 
My Brother in law told me that growing up his mother made "spaghetti" by putting ketchup on boiled pasta. I don't know what you call that but it ain't spaghetti.

Thats not bad. I can appreciate it.
But honestly my go to options for people's normal ketchup uses are a bit more pedestrian.
Mustard, Horseradish or some type of Hot Sauce (depending on what meats or whatever)
on on Fries.... F it. Load me up on the cheese sauce.

So I guess that means I skew more toward Fat slob rather than prissy Frenchman. Figured Id help narrow your focus of invective. :)

You're skewing more towards blasphemy with this thinly-veiled anti-ketchup tirade.

I should have been more clear, I use it on the good old boxed Kraft mac and cheese and I love it. Never used it on the frozen stuff.

You're both retaaded. Ketchup on dogs is a must. Relish is for people with severe mental issues.

Vast majority of hash browns require ketchup.
 
My niece growing up loved ketchup on her vanilla ice cream:confused: i sh@t you not! I used to eat it on my hot dogs but i cant stand it now. Mustard only on my dogs. I love it on my fries especially on the side with a pinch of salt n pepper sprinked on top. Other than burgers and fries i dont really use it much now that i think about it.

Tom Brady brought Pom Pom hats back into style. I bet the guy loves Ketchup. Giselle probably drowns her fries in it.

You must be a adam carolla fan. He talks about ketchup and how stupid people are if they use it
 
Ok ketchup experts in at smashburger as I type . Yay or nay to this stuff. I don't want to try an inferior product. ( also notice the number 12 , to signify the greatest qb of all time Joe Namath. )

I hate ketchup beyond all other substances on Earth. Ketchup, dairy, pasta, baked beans, and bananas are the only things I will not consume under any circumstance.
 
I will make this simple. Ketchup on burgers. Brown mustard on dogs. Those are the baseline. Then add at will. No mayo on burgers.
 
I'm telling you. Even the most ardent of adult ketchup addicts will change their religious beliefs with a dolup of barbeque sauce instead.
 
I don't use it on anything with meat, really. I'll put it on fries, but only if the fries are not very good. And when I do use it, I have found the taste of Muir Glen Organic Ketchup to be superior in every aspect to any standard ketchup. Not as salty, not as sweet. Its rich, dark color is even better looking than that bright red cramp.

The very thought of putting it on a hot dog is revolting. Also, I have never eaten a burger with ketchup (or catsup) on it. I think I tried once, but spit out the first bite and hurled the remainder across the picnic field. And yet after almost 51 years of marriage, my wife will almost always ask me when serving me a burger, if I want ketchup with it.
 
The perfect burger is topped thusly: half sour pickle slices, tomatoes, iceberg lettuce, red onions, mushrooms, a fried egg, black olive mayonnaise, and as much bacon as can possibly fit. It also must be served on a lightly buttered and lightly toasted bun.
