Mandrake, have you ever seen a Commie drink a glass of water? Vodka, that's what they drink, isn't it? Never water?

Putting ketchup on anything after puberty is a bad sign. Of course in much of Asia ketchup is an ingredient and not a condiment, so this place is hosed.

It'd be fine if store ketchup wasn't so loving sweet

Like my 3 least favorite food things are ketchup, miracle whip and baked beans
What do those things have in common? Soooooooo much loving sugar it's gross and why America is fat

E: soviet fighter planes used pure ethanol as hydraulic fluid for its low freezing point, and yes they used to drink that poo poo all the time

I generally agree on sugar. Now, imagine everything you just named and double or triple the sugar and you have Southeast Asia.

My wife bought some locally produced salsa a while back and the top three ingredients in order of volume were:

1) Tomatoes

2) Ketchup

3) Sugar

That sums up the Southeast Asian understanding of ketchup right there. Like they amp up the sugar in ketchup to start with and then they put it into other stuff that already has tomatoes and shitloads of sugar. It's amazing. You haven't lived until you've seen someone cover a pizza in lovely sweet ketchup out of a bottle.

To top it off, ketchup made for local consumption is made from papaya, while in The Philippines and elsewhere banana is a common base ingredient, which is why at fast food outlets you'll see "Ketchup" and "American Ketchup" in different containers, heh.

This is why the correct condiment is some form of vinegar. Malt or Wuss-ta-shah.

I like that this is as far as you guys got.

It's like over here when they talk about how great lot chong is, which is basically a bowl of some shaved ice with some red beans and corn and some weird jelly or fruit thrown in. I'm like, "Man, wait until you see ICE CREAM! It's like ice and ingredients, but a couple hundred years into the future. You're going to love it."

That's what I feel like when people go on about the vinegar as a condiment. "Holy poo poo, wait until you see what we've done with it in the last two centuries - what happens next will shock you!"

Though I will allow that vinegar is the perfect thing with specific foods.

How do you all like your pickles? Dill, half-sours, briney as gently caress? What do you like to season your pickles with? What do you pickle besides cucumbers? Please explain to me why you would ruin a watermelon by pickling it my relatives have had no success in getting me to even try it because the idea of it is so crazy to me

I don't care for pickled cucumbers at all. Pickled carrots are alright, I'm pretty certain umeboshi count as pickles and I love those, pickled eggs definitely have their place, and you can't go wrong with pickled herring. Not sure those last two count but whatever.

i think there's something to be said about homosexual ultra-masculinity's role in the nazi party, but i think it's more to do with anti-female than pro-deviancy or whatever that the common holders of this view have i guess?
