I do a mixture of ketchup, mayo, garlic powder, onion powder, and msg, and slap that on cold cut sandwiches!

Hotdogs, hamburgers, I like a little Shepherd's pie with my ketchup, tourtière (Quebec mince pie).

A trash heap where it fucking belongs.

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.

Jokes on you, the trash heap is now deliciously seasoned.

Hmm, I put ketchup on scrambled eggs in the morning.

Hot dogs and Burgers

Fresh used napkin and tissue squeezings. Bonus points if the user had a cold.

Not me, but my girlfriend's son (7) loves it on corn on the cob.

Bacon. Chips. Steak and kidney pie.

I used to mix it in with fried rice that'd been left sitting out for too long and turned really dry. Gives it some moisture and a vinegary edge, but probably not for everyone, since ketchup's trademark is stomping all over the subtle flavors of a dish.

When I was in elementary school, I'd dip my pizza crusts in ketchup at lunchtime. I still do that every now and then with Sriracha ketchup

Also, same elementary school lunch: on pizza days, they also used to give us a side of tricolor fusilli straight-up. Just plain pasta without even so much as a little olive oil. So, fuck it. It got blasted with 'chup.

that first one made me cringe a little, but anybody who can reactivate cold fried rice can do whatever they want

Sausage gravy. Sprinkle some dots of ketchup on it and it's tangy savory good.

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Have you tried salsa? That's my favorite thing to put on any mac & cheese.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

I've done it with bbq sauce before, and I ain't mad at it, but it doesn't work the same way for me.

I don't hate ketchup but there is always something else I would rather have including with fries.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Spaghetti when I want to upset Italians. Truth is it's pretty good

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

If you put them in a bowl, with a shot glass in the center, then microwave; you have an egg ready for a bagel

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

Hard poached eggs topped with cheddar cheese.

I also use ketchup as an additive in cabbage rolls, sloppy joes, or chili, barbecue sauce.

Meat loaf, Japanese omelet rice.

The only food where ketchup is close to king is hamburgers. But Piri Piri and Heinz57 sauce are both better.

Ketchup is good on hot dogs along with mustard, but mustard is superior.

Actually, I thought of one: a Philly style steak sandwich.

Ketchup is good on hot dogs

Chicago would like a word with you...

...alone...

...In a dark alley...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Chicago dogs are their own thing, though. The rest of the ingredients other than the mustard have a combined flavor profile similar to ketchup: ketchup is basically a poor man Chicago dog.

Also, their poppy sees hot dog buns are a weird pick.

I put Sriracha on my philly cheese steaks. it's the only thing I put it on regularly these days

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I’ve never been the hugest Sriracha fan. Sriracha paste is better than the sauce, but I’d rather do any other hot sauce.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

As a hispanic person, ketchup on fried plantains was common for me growing up.
