One time I made pasta for myself and a friend (also roommate). The sauce a bit spicy, with herbs, simmered for a while. One of my favorites. We sat down to eat and he said β€œyum this is so delicious.” Then he got up, walked to the fridge, grabbed the ketchup, and squeezed it all over the pasta and sauce.

The fish part of fish and chips. No thanks on the malt vinegar. Y'all can keep your dirty foot water away from my fishies thanks.

Fried chicken, mostly. But ketchup goes well with a lot of fried food imo.

Omg you just unlocked childhood memories of eating fried chicken with ketchup. It's been decades. I need to try that again.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

There's even a famous place here that serves chicken with banana ketchup by default, and fried sweet potato fries available as a side. And it's actually a decent pairing!

Hot dogs, hamburgers, eggs

My weird one, least Mac and cheese

On Fire.

The stuff stinks. If the devil has blood it would be tomato sauce.

Plain Rice and Spaghetti Ezine Cheese (Turkish white) sandwich

Nar is the cheese you want to put on spaghetti, not ezine. It's at least similar to parmejan

i have so many spare sachets of ketchup from mcdonalds, and recently i've been experimenting with them to make a good sauce to mix into plain noodles. ketchup, sweet soy sauce, paprika, chili oil, chili flakes, toss in some random spices, and that's a good noodle sauce.

before finding that combination, i've gotten quite a few that were way less palatable.

my alternate answer is spaghetti, just to piss off the italians.

Was at a cookout last weekend where I met a bunch of Italians. I just moved to CT where seafood pizza is apparently a thing so I had to ask them. Boooooy, did that ever get them started. And then I said I also like pineapple on my pizza.

Providing the real answer.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Real answer:

  • Open a can of tuna and mix it in
  • Salad. Yes, I know. Yes it tastes great.
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

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!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

Hotdogs or eggs.
