Ketchup: What is it not sacrilegious to put on?

Is it just fries? Because it's certainly not hotdogs or steak or burgers or any sort of meat.

made this thread while eating a bratwurst with dijon mustard and onion on it.

Ketchup is the holy flavour maker. If something tastes awful, Saint Heinz will fix it for you. All hail Saint Heinz!

Ofcourse if something does taste nice, Saint Heinz will punish you by making it taste awful. Your hair will grow orange, your hands will shrink and your tie will extend in length. You will talk about "YUGE!" things and regress in behaviour to that of a small child. You will also feel the need to add Ketchup to everything. It is the punishment of abusing the Holy Heinz and not properly respecting it.

Is this a Church of England thing?

There's a decent argument that ketchup isn't needed for anything.

Fries- salt and vinegar
Hamburgers - mayo/relish/mustard/thousand islands/whatever else (McDonalds created the most famous burger in the world without ketchup)
Hotdogs/Sausage - mustard/relish

I actually use ketchup on all of those things though..

People need to stop judge others on what they put on their food. It's obnoxious and nobody really cares what you think about their meal.
 
People who defend ketchup are literally worse than Stalin.

If nobody cares, then there's no harm in continuing to judge.

ketchup is also a great ingredient in lots of sauces, stew and so on. the hate for it is completely unfounded.
Eh...not really, it does tend to be waaay too sweet. Can usually be replaced by tomato extract when a recipe calls directly for it.

Fries/Tots/Other fried potato concoctions.

I'll give it a pass for Hotdogs and Burgers, mostly on Ketchup just being something they associate with those foods.

Fries/Tots are the only things I ever eat it with. Mostly just comes down to not wanting to add sugar to my food. Ketchup is basically just tomato flavored liquid vinegar sugar, so there's little that's truly improved unless you like sweet on everything.
 
Spoiled food in an emergency, childrens food, or as a tiny aspect of a much better and larger batch of a sauce.

Ketchup is designed to trick kids into thinking the mediocre food on their plate is sweet and salty.

absolutely wrong. and substituting it for tomato extract will completely change the flavor. ketchup is used in quite a lot of serious cooking, and for good reason - it has great flavor and adds sweetness(which is what you want when using it).

I'll put it on whatever I want, and it makes me happy that it infuriates so many people. You're not better than anyone.

Freedom sauce can be put on anything you damn well please. Anyone who says otherwise is un-American

you can put it on hot dogs and hamburgers, but it doesn't really work unless you also put on mustard

spicy ketchup works for almost anything you'd use a condiment on
