Ketchup is good with some things, bad with lots of others.
Good with:
Burgers, fries, eggs, potato pancakes, and hash browns. God, especially with hash browns. Getting nicely crispy but not super crunchy hash browns with a light mix of ketchup is so damn good. Onions and ketchup together with any of those things works extremely well. Raw onions, not sauteed.
Bad with:
Hot dogs.
Should never go near:
Most everything else.
Now fry sauce, on the other hand, is good where ketchup is, but also good in many other places, like with chicken. If you don't know what fry sauce is, try looking in the sauce section of a local store and see if you can find Some Dude's Fry Sauce. It's basically just ketchup and mayonnaise mixed together. It sounds really messed up if you've never had it because you try to combined the flavor of ketchup with the flavor of mayonnaise and it just doesn't work in your head, but it tastes way different than most people would imagine and is pretty good, especially with a light touch of barbecue sauce.
Lol lets make a poll out of this! ;D
a buddy of mine has it on his morning sandwiches.
I was born in Portugal. I was in severe cultural shock when I saw people putting this red goo on their food when I moved to Canada. No such thing in Portugal.. not at that time. It can be found now but it's still no exactlly popular. More for the tourists.
I can see people putting ketchup on lots of weird things. What kills me is seeing somebody ordering a steak and, before taking the first bite, slather the whole thing with ketchup or some other condiment. What happened to appreciating the inherent flavor of foods?!
Poor man's tomato sauce. With lots of added sugar.
Congratulations, your mind has been expanded.
that's like putting cottage cheese on your cereal. I mean, they're both dairy, right?
I have heard that in Canada they also like to eat french fries with brown gravy and cheddar cheese melted on top...this sounds deliciousGo to Canada and you will see ketchup flavored potato chips
By cooking it you're losing the "inherent flavor" as this will change depending on how you cook it.
To really enjoy that beef, take a bite of a still-mooing Tauren.

Not cheddar. Cheese curds. The ensemble is called poutine and it is amazing.
Congratulations, your mind has been expanded.
In Denmark this normal, pretty common actually.
