I put ketchup on damn near everything when I was a kid......eggs, steak, brocolli.  Now-a-days I don't think I use ketchup on anything other than hamburgers and freedom fries.

scrambled eggs and french fries are the only things i put ketchup on.

Scrapple, sausage, eggs, cheesesteaks, fries, burgers, meatloaf(yum) is all i can think of right now.

Fries and maybe a little bit on burgers but even that I can do without. Ketchup sucks.

The only reason I'd use ketchup is to cover up the taste of something nasty...and if it's nasty, I'm not going to eat it anyway.  The thing about ketchup is that it doesn't enhance the flavor of food-- it covers it up.  Pointless.

 its just like hotsauce, it makes certain foods better but that all depends on the person

See, to me hotsauce enhances the flavor of certain foods...it adds a kick, but you still taste the original food.  Ketchup is thick and more overpowering.

This is out and out bullshtein, and I'm finally going to call someone on it.  Ketchup is a sauce, just like any other sauce.  It has a tomato-like flavor.  No one, even a ketchup lover, will say that it makes a fry taste more like a fry.  It makes a fry taste like a fry AND tomato-like substance.  It doesn't cover anything up.

That said, many items don't need to taste like tomato and don't taste better with tomato.  Sauces and marinades and spices all have their place, but none of them truly "enhance" a food's inherent flavor.  They all add another flavor to it.  If you want to argue that ketchup tastes like shtein no matter what, that's fine.  But the whole "it only masks the flavor" shtein is a pile of horse dooky.

It's a cheap sauce.  It works for some people with some items.  End of story.

Well, farg you too.  You're right about ketchup being a sauce...but that's about it.  It's barely a sauce...sauces generally flow pretty easily and you don't have to knock them out of a bottle.  Ketchup is not as much of a complementary taste as it is a replacment taste.  Disagree if you want, but that's NOT bullshtein.

Mustard, Barbeque sauce, A1, Mayo... You obviously feel the same way about all of those, right?

Ketchup argument.  All time low for CF?   Daniel Craig territory?

Since you jackasses have completely hijacked this thread, I put barbecue seasoning and cheese on my omlette every morning. If I have them, some mushrooms and peppers too. I make awesome omelettes.

The man. The myth. The legend.
