I don't understand why its a 'thing' that needs to be commented on, especially if they are not the ones eating it.

Ketchup, a sweet sauce, and steak, a savory meat item, go very well together when mixed to create a more complicated 'flavor profile'.

I understand some people are simple and just want to eat the steak with salt and pepper, and that's fine. But theres no need to get upset at others if they want a more complex dining experience.

Personally I only put ketchup itself on cheaper cuts of meat. For special occasions when I buy an expensive cut like ribeye or a NY strip I will make a ketchup reduction and glaze it over the meat. Very yummy!

Well not on buffalo wings. But regular roasted chicken is bland and needs something to spice it up to make a complete flavor profile. Ketchup is a viable option.

Steak is large cut of usually higher quality meat. The "point" of the steak, and really any other food, is to deliver a flavor profile. Different cuts of steal have subtleties in flavor and a good cook can also shake that up and enhance it.

What that means in reality is that steak, decent steak, is expensive. You're paying way more per lb of beef for a steak than the other cuts of beef. It's like the difference between buying a stack of cheap copy paper vs resume parchment. They're both paper, but different paper.

When you take a good steak that has been prepared well and douse it in sugar-vinegar you basically wipe out the flavor profile of the steak. Cooking the steak well-done also does the same thing. You're paying top dollar for something and then wiping out the quality you paid for.

This isn't so bad on lovely steak because that was most likely cheap and flavorless to begin with, but doing that on any other steak is wasteful and, if done on a steak you didn't cook, insulting to the chef both against their talent and their/your wallet.

It's like going into a store, buying an expensive painting and then getting out a sharpie and drawing your own picture on top of it. Yeah, you like it and really in life that's all that matters, but people are going to look at you and recognize you're a wasteful idiot with no taste. You could have bought a $10 canvas and had the same experience.

Don't put ketchup on steak or order it above medium unless you want people to think you're and idiot.

I don't much care for ketchup, I prefer mayonnaise in pretty much every instance.

A sliced tomato accomplishes everything ketchup does on a hamburger, I never put ketchup (or steak sauce) on a steak. If it is not served with a sauce or a gravy then the steak must then be succulent enough to not require either. Induitably, however, I will put ketchup on a hot dog, but even then, if given the option, I'd prefer grilled onions and mayo to top a dog.

Ketchup is largely a waste, and I do not like mustard.

I don't know how you can say a sliced tomato accomplishes the same thing as ketchup is a complex blend of at least 52 herbs and spices. Tomato is but one ingredient. Maybe your pallatte needs some broadening. Give it a try. Don't be afraid to experiment.

The only way to spice up ketchup is to mix it with mayonnaise, or jizz.

gently caress that, get a jar of peanut butter and a bag of chocolate chips for baking (both like two bucks). Use spoon, combine two, you have ultimate stoner snack. Get fat.

See, I don't quite see it like that. It's more like this:

You go into a fancy french restaurant. Food costs a fortune, but it's (by all accounts) worth it. You order your food, so does your companion. You get it, and it's this hideously complex arrangement of sauces and textures and such. It's also got a fork. The waiter spends a minute explaining the subtlety of the flavours and such- pretentious, but he wants you to fully get what you paid for.

And then you ask for ketchup.

Is the chef justified in throwing you out on your rear end afterwards, as he almost certainly would? Probably. You paid for it, but he made it, and he intended you to taste something specific that you were trying to completely ruin with salty red goop. You may not care, you may only care about the fact that it was technically a chicken dish and you were still gonna eat that chicken (as if that's what mattered), but he still had a perfectly good reason for saying "er, no, gently caress off and die."

Now, I don't think that this is why there aren't any cheat devices now. The reason is because it's far more lucrative to sell them, as EA knows and as everybody else will soon know as well. The most lucrative part of gaming in the future is very likely to be these ancillary costs, why would they give that up? I have little sympathy for IP extremism either.

(EULAs are horseshit, everybody KNOWS they're horseshit, the only reason anybody abides by their provisions is that they're too poor/dumb/scared to fight a legally unenforceable contract in court, even though EULAs get regularly mauled there.)

But c'mon. You do have to recognize that sometimes you shouldn't be slathering ketchup on your meal.
