As a tiny child I used to put ketchup on my eggs until one magical day I stopped to re-examine my life and wondered what the gently caress I was doing. Now I just put some hot sauce on there if needed and the only ketchup I buy is jalapeno ketchup for whenever I need some tater tots or chicken burgers or some other kind of lovely frozen foods.

I also I have a big-rear end tub of gochujang in my fridge and if you thinned it out I guess it would be a Korean, more flavorful version of spicy ketchup? But also like not at all because gochujang has that fermented, funkiness going on. It's the loving tits on veggie stir fry with some sesame seeds and sea weed flakes, just stir a forkful right in.

I could eat tots dipped in gochujang, is what I'm saying here. Hell I might try it this week.

The secret is out now folks. To make the famous Utah Fry sauce, you mix ketchup and mayonnaise. A bit of hot sauce as well if you are adventurous.

I googled this and it's just golf sauce!?!

in Germany you can get rotweiss which is mayo and ketchup in a toothpaste tube that somehow doesnt mix so you get a red/white stripe log to lay on your food

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
Cook perfect pasta and grate some real nice parmigiano, then smother the pasta in ketchup instead of spending 3 minutes making a real sauce.

Zesty.


As far as eggs go, you should try some really mild, vinegar-based hot sauces. A grown man putting Cholula (or Tabasco or most other hot sauces named after Mexican places) on his eggs is unremarkable, spending two minutes and an innocent butter knife getting the ketchup out of the bottle and on to your eggs is odd. Some guy has to wash that butter knife, and he’s gonna have some opinions about you.

If you’ve got hash browns though, gently caress it.

It's ketchup made from mushrooms rather than tomatoes.

Ketchup was originally made from mushrooms first, before tomatoes were "a thing". Mushrooms WERE what people thought of when they though of 'ketchup' as a condiment.
There was also walnut and oyster ketchup, too.

It's essentially "thing" boiled to pulp with enough salt and seasoning added to make shelf stable and used as condiment, which ta-da, is still what ketchup is.
Unsurprisingly, the first three are an extremely british invention, though common in the colonies. The tomatoes becoming standard later were more...American.

All the flavors vary as much as their bases. They're all a lot more liquid than today's version. Think...Worcestershire sauce/soy sauce consistency/a little thicker sorta.

Ketchup flavor definitely varies by region. I remember being a kid and traveling abroad for the first time and being incredibly disappointed when I finally got a meal I recognized, covered it in ketchup, and basically ate plastic flavored paste. I'm in Thailand now and McDonald's has two different ketchup dispensers. One is labeled "ketchup" the other is "American ketchup". :911:

When you order pizza, instead of getting a satchel of crushed red paper, you get ketchup packets. They smother the poo poo out of pizza here with ketchup.

It's not very sweet and tastes industrial to me. Europeans seem to like it, so maybe it's similar to what you'd see there too? Basically if it's not Heinz, I tend to avoid it.

I'm mostly amused by the fact that McDonald's here, and no where else I've traveled, felt the need to have two separate dispensers.

I would would say generally speaking ketchup is a child’s food but all goes out the window if you’re a dad

My old man would put condiments on the most random poo poo, like cheez whiz on pancakes, so if you’re a parent you get a carte Blanche till your kid is a teenager then it’s back to being off the ketchup

Like every half decent casual restaurant in America has one or more hot sauces, at least Tabasco, sriracha, or Frank's Red Hot (otherwise known as buffalo sauce), either at the table or available in the back. Do you live in the rural Midwest where only ketchup and ranch are the options? Do you seriously eat your meals without hot sauce?

I dunno man. I haven't lived in the states in over a decade and mostly eat local, which uses real sugar. I just think American style ketchup gets the flavor right.
