Ketchup

[suebee]

Yes, ketchup. The must-have for every meal..

Okay. How do you like it? What's your favorite brand? Glass bottle or squeezable? Refrigerated or room temp? What do you absolutely HAVE to put it on? What can't you stand to put it on? And what's the strangest thing you've ever seen it used on? G'wan! Spill! :sunglass:

[Medusa]

Heinz only for me!

I don't eat nearly as much ketchup as I used to. Used to put it on everything from green beans to eggs but something switched in my taste buds a few years back and now it's a rarity on potatoes or hamburgers only.

Just as an aside: Old Ketchup left fermenting on a plate in the open air that smells like that really bad vinegar-y grossness will make me gag in an instant!

[girl_dee]

Ketchup, the only thing i like it on is french fries which i rarely eat

Syr calls it vegetable sauce or something like that


ps i hate ketchup bottle farts!

[suebee]

I'm a Heinz gal too. Love them squeezable bottles! When I use a glass bottle I have this little ritual of tapping the bottle until the neck is emptied so it's ready for the next person.

I have ketchup on a lot less than I used to, but the only way I can eat fried eggs is amply annointed with the red stuff. BUT - I now prefer something else on my hamburgers......peanut butter. :seeingstars: Yes! Don't be a hater until you've tried it! :eatinghersheybar: <<< represents a hamburger with PB. :)

[Charming Texan]

Heinz is my brand of choice. I never eat ketchup much. If I do, it is with french fries only.

Did anyone see that burger king commercial for St.Patricks day? They were giving free fries out all weekend with green ketchup. blech. Something like that can ruin it for me. For a long ass time.

[dixie]

Hunt's. Squeezable. Refrigerated. I put it on nearly everything.

[always2late]

I have to confess, I've never really used ketchup, except as an ingredient in some recipes. But, for some odd reason, there is always a bottle of Heinz in my fridge, I guess on the chance I might come across a recipe that calls for it.

Heinz only!!! All others are pale comparisons and failures of a magnificent altitude.

Squeeze it, baby!

Refrigerated, preferrably, but if I am desperate, I'll use those little packets from the fast food restaurant.

Fries!!!! Potatoes!!!! They beg for the stuff.

I hate ketchup/catsup on meatloaf. I think it should be criminal.

Lima beans. It's a tie between that and ketchup and seeing someone put mayonnaise on them.

Don't spill the ketchup!!!

I'm not hating. I'm just judging you harshly.

[deedarino]

I usually have a little french fries with my ketchup. Or mac and cheese...

I am pretty sure that ketchup use to be my main vegetable.

[princessbelle]

<--- Heinz 57 girl....on hamburgers, fried egg sandwiches, and french fries....and is a double whammy for meatloaf (in the recipe and on top :) )

[clay]

<~~~~~~~uses catsup AND DUKE'S mayo mixed up to dip fries in...I eat catsup on hashbrowns and sometimes on a burger. I use mayo on my burger on buns, too. I like to add mayo to my pintos along with a chopped onion..yummo! I also eat MAYO on my hotdogs with chili and wiener...and green onions OR slaw OR Kraut...lol...BUT wait..I digress, it is CATSUP we are discussing. I don't diss on anyone on how they eat it or on what...grins...enjoy your ketchup/catsup on anything you wish....smiles..
PS Heinz OR DelMonte OR Hunt's..makes me no matta....and squeeze bottle.
There was a brand that made purple and green catsup here several years ago..anyone else see them? It left stains of the color you used on your mouth IF you dripped it..lol

Pickapeppa Sauce is created using a unique blend of tomatoes, onions, sugar, cane vinegar, mangoes, raisins, tamarinds, peppers and spices. These fine ingredients are selected from seven countries around the world, to ensure the best possible quality. This blend is then aged in oak barrels for one full year before bottling to ensure the rich flavor that Pickapeppa’s admirers so love.



He just told me I over explained it:|

Sounds good! Send me a bottle? And - do you think it would go with PB on a hamburger? :|

[suebee]

Onion rings!!!!

Everybody KNOWS you dip onion rings in honey! Sheesh! :|

[amiyesiam]

You can actually order on line
just google it
it is yummy

I had to ask Corkey what PB was (i know peanut butter) but I thought I must be wrong
I can not say that it would go well with PB
but it is very good with chicken and beef

[amiyesiam]

Everybody KNOWS you dip onion rings in honey! Sheesh! :|

really:|

I love ketchup

PB on hamburgers and honey on onion rings. And while we're at it - no butter on THIS girls lobster: It's vinegar or nothing!

Now I think I'll have a :tea: and just linger on these thoughts. Mmmmmm!

[Corkey]

Y'all are giving me heartburn.... :)

You clearly need help.

[JustJo]

Onion rings clearly demand ranch dressing....geesh. :blink:

[Mtn]

No matter how you spell it, it's ick and doesn't belong in my mouth.

[Apocalipstic]

Heinz.

As a child I slathered whatever weirdness my parents forced me to eat with Heinz.
Odious Brussles sprouts
Vile liver and onions
Disgusting cottage cheese
etc.

Now?
Onion rings
French Fries
Burgers
Tots

I also love 57 Sauce and mayo and condiments in general.

[Guy]

Heinz all the way!!

[scootebaby]

Heinz is what i buy out of habit..of course ive had the same bottle in my fridge since Nov(wonders if it goes bad)...however im not hard core about it

i like it on homemade cheeseburgers

onion rings

french fries from sertain places and made at home

on meatloaf,but i dont make meatloa(the prince doesnt like it)f and finding it how i like it out is hard soooooo alas meatloaf is a far and between indulgence

[T4Texas]

I am not much of a ketchup eater and I think putting it in chili is sacrilgious and would be highly frowned upon here in Texas. Pickapepah is really good tho as a condiment.

[sylvie]

No ketchup for me,
In fact i'm not even one for bottled sauces, period...

Marinade, homemade sauces, or just plain 'ol spices..
Now if my stepmother was here, there isn't anything she doesn't put ketchup on.. In fact, i think it's more ketchup than food most times..
:|

[Turtle]

HEINZ! On lots, although a lot less than I used to.


A few weeks ago, I went to a restaurant with a friend for breakfast....she asked if "they had any ketchup?" Our waiter said, "No." I thought, "WOW! If that's not a statement, I don't know what is." Our waiter followed up with "We have fresh salsa available as an alternative, if you'd like?" My friend accepted and enjoyed that salsa, but not as much as ketchup.

[Turtle]

ps - that Pickapeppa Sauce sounds really goood!

[suebee]

Is there ANYONE who doesn't prefer Heinz? :|

[girl_dee]

Is there ANYONE who doesn't prefer Heinz? :|

me! i don't care who makes it but then again i eat it about once a year

[suebee]

Well Dee, if I was eating meat fresh from the farm I probably wouldn't be using much ketchup either - except on eggs. Can't eat eggs without the ketchup. Blechhhh!

[Princess]

I do not eat Ketchup or Catsup :) I dont think I have bought any in years...but here in the midwest we use RANCH dressing for everything! You can put it on anything from burritos to porkchops and everything in between.

[ruffryder]

really:|

I love ketchup
on hotdogs hamburgs french fries and onion rings and some times on chips

Ditto..
I don't really have a brand but I get the squeeze one. Has to be 3 parts ketchup to one part mustard. Lol. Don't give me that green shit either, ketchup is red! When I was little I dipped potato chips in it and I even had some on a tortilla. The babysitter used to feed me it with eggs and till today I say yuck!

Its also yum with fried potatoes, chicken nuggets before you had all the wonderful sauce choices, and fish sticks! :)

Clearly not

:blink:

I liked ranch dressing on Jack in the Box's natural cut fries (with the skins on the ends) until they changed the fries.

Is there ANYONE who doesn't prefer Heinz? :|

Someone liked Hunt's. Dixie, maybe?

[puddin']

i prefer hunt's. has a bit mo' tang and a thicker consistency. but i mos'ly like it wit' a dollop o' proper horseradish in it! :shocking:

oh yah... compliments anathang from seafood, to cocktail sausages, to burgers, to even eggs

[1QuirkyKiwi]

I'm a Watties girl when home. :D Here, there is a brand called Tiptree and is made up the road. It's sold in most supermarkets here. I only eat Tom Sauce on Veggie Hotdogs, Burgers and Vegan melted Cheese on toast. A bottle can last me a year...

Other foods I'm a Mayo, Mustard, Horseradish, Apple sauce and Dressing girl, lol!

If been asked to translate ‘Wattie’s and Tiptree’...


WATTIE'S Tomato Sauce is a New Zealand brand I grew up with and buy from the NZ shops in London sometimes (it's like Rugby; a huge part of Kiwi life, lol!) and Tiptree is an Artisan home-made style Tomato ketchup made in an idyllic English rural setting and sold nationwide.

[girl_dee]

Syr just put ketchup in her mac n cheese.

:blink:

[Gemme]

Was it boxed or homemade? If it's boxed, like Kraft, I'm totally down with it. If it was homemade, I'm more liable to dip it in steak sauce.

[deathbypoem]

Red Gold is prob my favorite :) Perfect shift in taste before/after.
Added with a bit of Sriracha even better for a nice alternative to plain Ketchup. Oh, and its good on everything except cereal ;)

[o'queery]

This is my ketchup.

[Queenie]

I love the stuff!! When I lived in Vegas, I use to get the most amazing ketchup from Wholefoods called, ''Annie's Naturals Organic Ketchup''
I have no idea if I can get it here in, London. I also have never looked for it. I get the Tesco value brand ketchup. Why? Cause, it's cheap, it comes in a glass bottle and I cannot tell the difference when it comes to the taste of it. I also like that it comes in a glass bottle. I grew up with ketchup being refrigerated. So, it still is. Even tho, it really doesn't need to be.
When ever I am eating a piece of baked chicken I always put Ketchup on it. This started when I was a little kid. My whole family thinks I am utter nuts for doing this. But my sister doesnt get called, nuts when she mixes mayo into her ketchup.It always just grosses me out to no end!

[~baby~doll~]

Ketchup, the only thing i like it on is french fries which i rarely eat

Syr calls it vegetable sauce or something like that


ps i hate ketchup bottle farts!

i'm with you. i do not even have ketchup in the house i so rarely use it.

[WolfyOne]

I hardly ever use ketchup and prefer Heinz, but Hunt's was on sale, so I bought it instead :|

Really the only thing I use ketchup for is french fries or when I make my Sloppy Joe recipe.
Oh and I'll add a splash of ketchup and some brown sugar to canned pork n beans.

A squeeze bottle of it in my house can never be used up before it expires.

[Talon]

Heinz Hot & Spicy ketchup...it's really good when you use it to make cocktail sauce.

[Smiling]

Ketchup is okay, but I definitely prefer mustard. Mustard is my favorite condiment and I often enjoy it as an enhancement on or in almost any food.

I detest ranch dressing. I love vinegar a lot and especially balsamic vinaigrette.

[clay]

I rarely use ketchup. BUT I do love it along with mayo/must mix on my Whoppers!!
For F.F.'s, I like to mix mayo & ketchup to dip them in!

[Rockinonahigh]

I mostly use ketchup on mu french fry's but sparingly,sometimes I put a trio on my hamburger bun.Never anything on my rare steak ever.
