      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?

    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.

        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.)

    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.

          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.

    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.

    Even though I’ll incur the wrath of all Italians I do like to put ketchup on my pasta when I don’t have the time/energy/ingredients to make a proper sauce. Even better with shredded cheese.

      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. 😋

        Then I have good sauce. So I will eat it. Until it is gone. Then I eat ketchup.

      I prefer spaghetti with ketchup and shredded cheese to ones with a bolognesse sauce.

      So far I manage to hide from the Italian death squad.

    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.

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

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