Ketchup belongs on.....?

[jessily]

I used to put ketchup on anything and everything... literally. I've since gotten over it and now stick to burgers, fries and hot dogs. Which I rarely eat, so I rarely eat ketchup

 

[jimmalru80]

I'm a "ketchup on eggs" fan. Could need eat eggs without it.

 

[pjlla]

For me, "On":

Hot Dogs
Hamburgers
French Fries
Tater Tots
Fried egg sandwiches
Cold meatloaf sandwiches
Cold baked bean sandwiches

--------------------------------------------

That's it..

I've been waitng for someone to come on and mention ketchup on baked beans! This was the only way that my brother would eat them growing up and now his three boys do the same! (I think it is icky, but I generally dislike ketchup anyhow.)........................P

I once drank an entire bottle of ketchup (when I was a child), so obviously I love it.

But, I agree with the OP.
It belongs on hamburgers, meatloaf, hot dogs, cold cuts, french fries and country potatoes. Maybe a couple other things I can't think of right now.

But...
It does not go on roasts, steak, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, eggs, etc.
When I was a child, I did mix tarter sauce and ketchup to eat my fish. But as I don't eat fish now, I no longer do this.

does not belong on hot dogs if you are older than 4 years old.

Blech. I can't eat a hot dog without it. Unless it has chili sauce on it. Otherwise, forget it.

While I don't normally get ketchup out for roast, it makes sense. Steak too. I simply don't like meat unless it has some sort of sauce to dip it in to make it taste better. Once I have a sauce, I actually enjoy it.

That's what A1 and Worcestshire sauce is for. Actually, on a good steak, just give me a little melted butter and I'm all good.

Ketchup and potato chips Mmmmmmm......

I prefer a good BBQ sauce (not some dressed up ketchup) instead of ketchup with my chips. Better than store bought BBQ chips.

Well, you put it in baked beans before you bake them. But I also add onions and brown sugar to my bake beans.

 

[OK!]

Ketchup does not belong on potato chips, spaghetti, noodles, mashed potato, or corn. It also does not need to be in a big pile on your plate so you can dunk your hamburger in it. All things that DD does that drive me bonkers! The corn looks particularly nasty.

I will defend your DD's decision on this one because I also do it, but only on hamburgers that are either a) really big, or b) have a ton of toppings on them. If you put the ketchup on the burger itself, it makes it exponentially more slippery and you start having to deal with random toppings shooting out of the sides of the burger when you bite into it. I hate that.

 

[OK!]

Oh, and for my personal "on" list...

hamburgers (with mustard)
hot dogs (also with mustard)
brats (again, with mustard)
fries
fish sticks or fried fish filets
tater tots
hash browns IF they're really, really cripsy. Otherwise, no.

...and if, for some hideous reason, I'm ever again forced to eat pan-fried liver, it'll be slathered in ketchup so that I don't have to taste the disgustingness. Blech. My mom used to make us eat it when we were little and that was the only way I could choke it down. She ate hers with A1 steak sauce and to this day, the smell of A1 makes me gag as well.

I once knew a man who put ketchup on EVERYTHING. Yes. Everything.

 

[pweyl36]

Hamburgers, hot dogs, french fries, cheesesteaks.

I like mayo on my cheese steaks w/ pickles.

 

[pweyl36]

ANYTHING as long as it is HEINZ!!!!!!

yes it has to Heinz.

Says who?? My grandmother made HOMEMADE baked beans EVERY Saturday night for my entire life (and probably before that). Ketchup is NOT part of the recipe. Maybe in other regions, but not in New England. The recipe includes mustard and molasses, but definitely not ketchup. Maybe you are thinking of those "pork and beans" that are kind of bbq-ish that they serve down south?........................P

Mustard in baked beans!? Blech! I hate mustard and would never eat any beans with that ingredient.
I've never even heard of baked beans with mustard.
Then again, my mom never fixed anything with mustard in it. Including her deviled eggs.

 

[jlima]

Not to hijack..but the ONLY mayo is Blue Plate and my husband puts a dab of that on his jambalaya.

OK, my dad used to put sandwich spread on fried rice . . . (he was born & raised in Terrebonne Parish, down the bayou in Ponte au Chein) so that's sort of in the neighborhood . . . but mayo on jambalaya?!?!? Wow.

Every recipe I've ever made for baked beans included mustard AND ketchup - along with vinegar and brown sugar.
