slo’s MONDAY 4/28 poll - Ketchup vs Hot Sauce On Eggs

[CynBeth]

I have never tried either on eggs. Maybe some day will give one or both a chance

 

[TiggerTrigger]

I'm not much of a ketchup person to begin with and don't feel that it has any place on eggs. Hot sauce is a different story. It's not an all the time thing, but there are dishes and places where some dashes of hot sauce can drastically improve the culinary experience. For example, if you're in New Orleans and get an Eggs Benedict Po Boy or Eggs Sardou, several dashes of Crystal hot sauce can enhance the taste. Just like if you're having Huevos con Chorizo, some Cholula is your friend.

I don't typically use either, but will use Valentina hot sauce on a breakfast burrito.

 

[Micca]

As a rule I don't add either to eggs.

 

[Kooks and Bay Bay]

Neither because I eat fried eggs or hard boiled eggs.
Ketchup and hot sauce would not go with either of those.

Rare occasion I have a western I'll use ketchup.

All I want on my scrambled eggs is a sprinkle of salt, pepper, and sharp cheddar cheese. I do not even have ketchup or hot sauce in the house. I am not a big condiments fan in general.

I have used ketchup on scrambled eggs or some omelettes. Though I guess I was more likely to do so in the past than now. In general I don’t use ketchup as much as I used to.

 

[MIGrandma]

No ketchup or hot sauce on my eggs. I like mine soft scrambled with salt and pepper only. DH likes his eggs over easy or poached, with hot sauce.

The only way I will eat an egg is hard boiled. I like them a lot that way, but any other way I think eggs are disgusting, no scrambled, fried, over easy, poached, baked, quiche, omelet, fritatta, none of that. So no ketchup or hot sauce. Neither of those would work with hard boiled eggs. Though, I guess I could envision a salad with a nice french dressing that had sliced hard boiled eggs, that's a little ketchupy. Or a few shakes of hot sauce in some deviled eggs or egg salad would probably work.

Taylor ham egg and cheese is likely to get ketchup, some omelets hot sauce. I do like ketchup on home fries.

 

[Jodo98]

Hot sauce on scrambled is not so bad. I love franks hot sauce on everything.

 

[The Mayor]

Ketchup only on scrambled eggs. Can't do hot anything on any food.

 

[KPeterso]

I hate both ketchup and hot sauce on general principles. I would never put them on anything I eat - especially eggs. Just a bit yuck from me.

I have used ketchup on eggs, but not regularly. Many in my extended family do that. Not a fan of hot sauce so no to that. I have no issue with the bottle being on the table. I will be soooooooo glad when this fad of restaurants preparing spicy food is over. I have had more one otherwise delicious meal ruined by too much spice in the preparation. The solution is soooo simple, prepare it without spice, and let people add it at the table.

As someone d who loves spicy, and has raised 5 who love spicy, it’s not that simple. You can’t just put in some hot sauce to make it taste good spicy, need the layers of heat in the cooking process.

 

[Jasper&Bowie]

I don't like ketchup at all and can't have hot sauce due to stomach issues.

Well, at least SOME restaurants note spicy level on the menu.

I'm just not a ketchup guy. I don't put it on anything

 

[Lumpy1106]

Guessing you are going to get very regional results on this one. Put me down for hot sauce. That could be salsa or Cholua. I like Chipotle Tabasco, but not regular Tabasco. Ketchup is OK. Hash browns get Ketchup, and I have a weakness for Denny's hash browns in particular, but that is another topic altogether.

Good point. I use it on hamburgers/cheeseburgers only -- not even fries.
