      What type of food, without the answer being fries, do you find is complimented by ketchup.

      Which tomato-based condiment base is most delictable when said condiment is added to the base, where such a base is not potato fries based?

        Even if you aren’t a mustard purist, there are so many better things to put on a hot dog before ketchup.

        Sometimes! I make mine with onions, peppers, and carrots. My favorite diner doesn’t shred them, just slices them thin. Some places bake them instead of frying them, too. There’s a hashbrown for every occasion, they’re not just tinier french fries.

        Also, okay, I know it’s relatively rare to french your fries these days, but it’s even more unheard of to french a hashbrown. (I’d totally eat a frenched hashbrown, though.)

    There isn’t a thing that you can put ketchup on that a good BBQ sauce or hot sauce isn’t better on. I will die on this hill.

    Hmmm, I assume the usual hamburger/hotdog isn’t what you’re looking for.

    I think the least common thing I put ketchup on is kraft mac n cheese. Don’t do it every time, but every now and then, when I’m having the standard, package only mac n cheese, I’ll put a dab on there.

    Can’t use much, or it sucks. But the kind of amount you might drop as you’re taking a bite of something else, that works great. That’s how I found out I liked it, back as a kid.

      I will put ketchup on mac & cheese, of any kind, no matter how old your grandmother’s recipe is. did it right in front of my Italian potential mother-in-law too, there are certain things that have to be established early in the relationship.

        I’ve upgraded from ketchup on my mac and cheese (we call it Kraft Dinner here in Canada) to using Bullseye barbeque sauce. Adds a little bit more flavour.

      Spaghetti and Swedish meatballs topped liberally with ketchup is a childhood staple food in Sweden. It’s honestly not bad, highly inoffensive food, fit for picky eaters.

        I still get that when I visit my Norwegian mother. Though she usually uses spirelli instead of spaghetti.

        And of course the vastly superior Norwegian meatballs. 😋

      Ketchup on canned tuna, yeah, I’ve done it. I’d rather have some mayo and sriracha on it, but it’s not that bad.

      Ketchup on salad though, I can imagine it, I don’t remember if I’ve actually tried it, but unless we’re talking about sweet salads (like ones made out of condensed milk, all-purpose cream, canned fruit cocktail, gelatin cubes and the works), I don’t think it’s actually that hideous. Heck, I even think it’d go okay with something like potato salad!

        with potato salad, definitely works – it’s not that far off french fries

        With a finely cut salad (read: celery, tomatoes, rocket/kale/cabbage, and a shaved carrot, dressed lightly in olive oil and citrus juice), tomato ketchup turns the salad into a cold stew of sorts, and… it just works

    My eggs in the morning.

    The night before I mix two eggs with a little milk and put it in a microwavable mug. Then microwave it for 30 seconds, stir and repeat twice. It creates a round slab of egg that I put on a piece of buttered toast with ketchup spread on it.
