Funny you should say that, because someone once dumped a shitload of ketchup into some spaghetti that was short of sauce, and it was pretty much inedible.

honestly, this is the only way I make spaghetti

I literally had hand made meatballs and fresh egg spaghetti, cooked al dente in well-salted water and seasoned with fresh cracked black pepper in a butter emulsion and with a nice sprinkling of some parmigiano reggiano, well-tossed in a coating of heinz tomato ketchup. I had this ten minutes ago

I love me some ketchup but this reads like you almost made a good meal but then modified it and ate a cursed dish. Be safe, friend.

I have eaten something close to this for over 20 years now. gently caress that sounds terrible to write out.

I will at some point find a better tomato sauce, I don't actually like the ketchup approach much anymore, but almost all shop-bought sauces are heavy on stuff I don't like, and my kitchen is a little deficient right now. I have a single induction hob and an oven, that's it.

Personal favorite holiday treat = Walkers shortbread cookies. I got them in my stocking when I was little :classiclol:


Oh and I'm late to the debate, but ketchup is great! Although I will say that my freshman dorm cafeteria taught me that Heinz 57 is the real Philosopher's Sauce. It's good on steak, popcorn, even bananas.

Olive!

I always thought Ketchup on hotdogs, or like, whatever on hot dogs, started as just another reason for baseball fans to pretend to get irrationally angry about something most of them don't really care about, since hot dogs have lots of regional differences and many ballparks are famous for having a specific kind of dog.

Like most baseball fans didn't really care, it was just a fun way to fuel rivalries, being such an inconsequential thing to argue about, but it was still "your city vs my city". Then some people got serious about it, then it spread beyond baseball and the cities teams reside in, to just being opinions on hot dog toppings by the general masses.

Baseball fandom is the first place I heard about it, many long years ago, but then again I'm a huge baseball nerd so I might be wrong.

I still remember seeing some game on TV years ago where the Washington Nationals were playing, with their star player being Bryce Harper. There was a couple of kids that were fans of the opposing team in the bleachers with signs that said "Bryce Harper puts ketchup on hot dogs" and laughing my rear end off at it being the most inoffensive insult and being just plain fun.

im glad this ketchup/hotdog/ketchup+hotdog derail has lead to some funny+infortmative posts. i was just having some fun with the chicago tradition, i don't really mind what anyone puts on their hotdog sandwiches! though I usually go with some brown mustard and diced onions :yum:. Or chili and cheese, but chili and cheese is just good all around.

just really not a fan of ketchup at all anymore, except with some fries. not that I associate it with children or anything,b ut when I was a kid I put it on just about everything (including some stuff that really, really doesn't go well with ketchup) and now i'm just a bit sick of the taste. that jalapeno ketchup is my poo poo tho

Ketchup is pretty gross. In my house, its only use is as an ingredient in meatloaf.

Due to the holidays, my mom seems to make a lot of meatloaf to distribute whenever I visit and now I am wondering if I really want to ask how old her ketchup is because my parents don’t use it for anything except meatloaf topping


MockingQuantum posted:

I like ketchup, but I also like marmite so I recognize I'm a terrible barometer for food things. also is weird foodshaming a thing that exists elsewhere in the country? growing up in the midwest I feel like people get no end of poo poo that translates nearly into really weird bullying for not liking "common" foods, I don't eat a lot of local fish (because stuff like trout and walleye literally tastes rotten to me) and every once in a while I'll meet someone who is inexplicably awful to me about it. never been sure if that's just a weird midwestern thing or not though, since we apparently have a lot of weird behavioral oddities that don't exist elsewhere in the country.

where do yobbers get their marmite? just the supermarket? or a specialty store like cost plus?

"biscuit eater" was an epithet commonly slung at me during childhood. because i brought cold biscuits and peanut butter in my lunch because i liked them and i didn't know we were poor or that being "mixed" was seen as bad.

Biscuits are tasty. Nobody should make fun of that.

But then, it used to be an insult to Italians to call them "spaghetti-benders." This mystifies me because I love spaghetti!

Between the sugar (a tablespoon of ketchup has more sugar in it than a chocolate-chip cookie), the salt, and the vinegar, ketchup will last forever without going 'bad' (worse).

I've had bottles that were easily 8 years old, and they were no worse than the day I bought them.

I got 12 jars of it at once from some kind of online store like 7 years ago, and still have half of them left. They're all overfull now because it's like "The Stuff" from the movie The Stuff, it has grown and escaped from the edges of the lids. Still tastes identical so I'm treating it as not-expired.

MockingQuantum posted:

but hey, to turn this conversational frown upside-down, anybody have any super-specific foods that you always have around holiday/wintertimes?
Roast potatoes, which doesn't sound super-specific but it is because everyone in America does roast potatoes wrong so I have to cook them (and also my in-laws require me to cook them now that they've had it done right). And even then it's not actually done right because America doesn't have any good potatoes, they've seemingly all been bred for yield and pest resistance instead of for tasting good. So even doing it right I can only get about half way to proper roast potatoes.
Edit: here is someone who nearly has the method right (in an annoying Facebook video), except they didn't pre-heat the oil which means their potatoes will have a bit of a greasier finish.

Also, red cabbage for some reason, which is cooked with a large cooking apple (does America even have a concept of a cooking apple? Internet suggests no, this too is a British thing and America uses so-called "dual-purpose" apples like chumps, more like no-purpose-properly apples) and a squirt of lemon juice, and cooked for ages (just in a pan like you're boiling it but you don't even have to add any water). It always seems like a horrible idea, who would want to eat just a blob of cabbage, but ends up being way more delicious than it has any right to be.

Mayo and ketchup mixed together makes a salad dressing. Add a little relish, and it's an OK substitute for thousand island. It was mentioned in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, or one of those movies -- used as "special sauce" at a burger place.

You know my anger at America's potatoes is huge when I start considering trying to import some Maris Piper seed-stock and grow my own and sell them to other British people in America at a huge markup with the marketing slogan "you can get some goddamn Maris Piper potatoes here and nowhere else in America". If someone else did that I would buy them.

lol I was thinking "I wonder if Australia has decent potatoes", and apparently no, but it has people bitching about their absence and also mentioning cooking apples within the first four posts! Funny because today is the first time I even noticed that cooking apples weren't a thing in the US, just a few posts ago.
