There is like a 50% hit rate on reading comprehension of your 11-word question.

[โ€“] tetris11@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

What type of food, without the answer being fries, do you find is complimented by ketchup.

Which tomato-based condiment base is most delictable when said condiment is added to the base, where such a base is not potato fries based?

[โ€“] AceTKen@lemmy.ca 22 points 2 months ago (4 children)

A trash heap where it fucking belongs.

There isn't a thing that you can put ketchup on that a good BBQ sauce or hot sauce isn't better on. I will die on this hill.

[โ€“] threeduck@aussie.zone 4 points 2 months ago

Jokes on you, the trash heap is now deliciously seasoned.

That's just shredded fries!

[โ€“] Nemo@midwest.social 7 points 2 months ago

Sometimes! I make mine with onions, peppers, and carrots. My favorite diner doesn't shred them, just slices them thin. Some places bake them instead of frying them, too. There's a hashbrown for every occasion, they're not just tinier french fries.

Also, okay, I know it's relatively rare to french your fries these days, but it's even more unheard of to french a hashbrown. (I'd totally eat a frenched hashbrown, though.)

Hard poached eggs topped with cheddar cheese.

I also use ketchup as an additive in cabbage rolls, sloppy joes, or chili, barbecue sauce.

Meat loaf, Japanese omelet rice.

[โ€“] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Hmmm, I assume the usual hamburger/hotdog isn't what you're looking for.

I think the least common thing I put ketchup on is kraft mac n cheese. Don't do it every time, but every now and then, when I'm having the standard, package only mac n cheese, I'll put a dab on there.

Can't use much, or it sucks. But the kind of amount you might drop as you're taking a bite of something else, that works great. That's how I found out I liked it, back as a kid.

[โ€“] tilefan@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I will put ketchup on mac & cheese, of any kind, no matter how old your grandmother's recipe is. did it right in front of my Italian potential mother-in-law too, there are certain things that have to be established early in the relationship.

[โ€“] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

Have you tried salsa? That's my favorite thing to put on any mac & cheese.

Even though I'll incur the wrath of all Italians I do like to put ketchup on my pasta when I don't have the time/energy/ingredients to make a proper sauce. Even better with shredded cheese.

[โ€“] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 months ago (4 children)

make sure to break your spagehtti during cooking and cut them with a knife when eating

[โ€“] wallybeavis@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I've been using a pair of scissors to cut my spagetti, a knife would probably be way easier to clean. Thanks for the tip, I'll let everyone know how it goes!

scrambled eggs

[โ€“] rubberduh@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Eggs! And omurice. And fried rice with a lot of egg.

[โ€“] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 7 points 2 months ago (7 children)

My eggs in the morning.

The night before I mix two eggs with a little milk and put it in a microwavable mug. Then microwave it for 30 seconds, stir and repeat twice. It creates a round slab of egg that I put on a piece of buttered toast with ketchup spread on it.

[โ€“] BCsven@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

If you put them in a bowl, with a shot glass in the center, then microwave; you have an egg ready for a bagel

I don't hate ketchup but there is always something else I would rather have including with fries.

[โ€“] tetris11@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Real answer:

  • Open a can of tuna and mix it in
  • Salad. Yes, I know. Yes it tastes great.

As a hispanic person, ketchup on fried plantains was common for me growing up.

[โ€“] scytale@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fried chicken. Also try mixing ketchp and worcestershire sauce and dip your chicken in it before taking a bite.

Kraft Dinner ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

[โ€“] Hammocks4All@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

One time I made pasta for myself and a friend (also roommate). The sauce a bit spicy, with herbs, simmered for a while. One of my favorites. We sat down to eat and he said โ€œyum this is so delicious.โ€ Then he got up, walked to the fridge, grabbed the ketchup, and squeezed it all over the pasta and sauce.

[โ€“] megane_kun@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fried chicken, mostly. But ketchup goes well with a lot of fried food imo.

[โ€“] cheesymoonshadow@lemmings.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Omg you just unlocked childhood memories of eating fried chicken with ketchup. It's been decades. I need to try that again.

[โ€“] megane_kun@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

There's even a famous place here that serves chicken with banana ketchup by default, and fried sweet potato fries available as a side. And it's actually a decent pairing!

[โ€“] Shawdow194@kbin.run 5 points 2 months ago

Hot dogs, hamburgers, eggs

My weird one, least Mac and cheese

[โ€“] dan1101@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

Sausage gravy. Sprinkle some dots of ketchup on it and it's tangy savory good.

[โ€“] mub@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

On Fire.

The stuff stinks. If the devil has blood it would be tomato sauce.

The fish part of fish and chips. No thanks on the malt vinegar. Y'all can keep your dirty foot water away from my fishies thanks.
