Here is some really great open sauce

[Sticks]

Well it was open sauce and it was quite good

[Jeff Root]

If you think ketchup is good sauce, you must have a bad code.

I recommend chickensoup. Repeat: "chickensoup". I don't know
how chickensoup is different from chicken soup, except that you
should consume chickensoup if you have a bad code.

If you post any of that open sauce code here, be sure to use a
virus scanner on it, first.

My kids, (Big Bad Boo and Big Sis) thought that was one of the major food groups when they were growing up. They wanted it on EVERYTHING.

[Jeff Root]

Actually I think ketchup is fine on hamburgers and some kinds of
sausage, and oddly appropriate on French fries, but that's about it.
I sometimes use that other variety of Heinz product, Heinz 57 steak
sauce, on steak, but that is too strong for my tastes so I dilute it
with ketchup. But if other sauces happen to be available, and they
are neither too strong nor too weird for me, I'll usually choose an
alternative.

Unlike some, I always ate hot dogs with ketchup (sometimes both
ketchup and mustard), but I've only had like five or six hot dogs in
the last twenty years, always away from home.

So you are Ketchup "NORMAL" then

[Sticks]

Most of the time when I use ketchup, I tend to use one of the various sachets I collect, mostly from Chicken Cottage, a halal version of KFC

"It's all in the wrist..."

Funny, I've never thought of ketchup, or even catsup, as a sauce. To me it's always been a condiment.

Re how to use it, to heck with the wrist, the key factor is whether or not, while shaking it, you've used a minimum of one finger to secure the cap.

This is important in restaurants.

Try pronouncing "cold" when you have a bad cold.

It almost was...
As Doodler eluded to, the USDA tried to classify ketchup and relish as vegetables to help schools reduce lunch costs in 1981.

And referring to catsup vs ketchup... it looks like the FDA says there is a difference.
In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration has prohibited the use of the word "ketchup" on product labels unless the product conforms to a set of strict guidelines.

[Whirlpool]

I love ketchups too.

I'll eat anything and everything with that sauce on it.

[TheOncomingStorm]

not a big ketchup fan, at times one burgers and hotdogs have used speghetti sauce or salsa.

...there is nothing in their training manuals about how to clean up flying wasabi...The spicy greenish condiment was squirted out of a tube while astronaut Sunita Williams was trying to make a pretend sushi meal...the wasabi tube has been banished to a cargo vehicle where it will stay packed away...

Fries. . .are best served with mayonnaise. Ketchup is bland, at best.

[Whirlpool]

Space Station Special O' The Day:

Wasabi is very spicy , and its annoying in the nose.

But its a great condiment in the Japanese table.

[Jeff Root]

I only read here for the first time a few months ago that some people
put mayonnaise on French fries. I tried it and it was okay. Both seem
like strange condiments to put on potatoes.

But I'm puzzled by your comment. You prefer mayonnaise, and say
that ketchup is bland-- Yet mayonnaise is far more bland than ketchup.
It would almost be the definition of bland if soda crackers didn't exist.

Mmmm! Mayonnaise on soda crackers! Excuse me for a moment...

I'm back. Managed not to lose it. That was almost as bad as ketchup
on spagh...

Uhhhh. Hafta go...

With you on that, friend! Malt's the best.

Then there are regional variables.

In The State of Maine, if you are at a food booth within a county fair, there are two comestibles offered for your cone of fries: salt and white vinegar.

If you ask for ketchup, you're looked upon as some kind of rube.

Or at least hailing from Taxachusetts.

It is a little known fact that in certain parts of northern England it is an offense to eat a "Full English" without putting HP on the bangers......

My dear chap permit me to elaborate.

Full English is in fact a full English breakfast it may vary slightly region to region but in essence it consists of the following:

Fried eggs
Bacon
black pudding (you don't want to know)
fried bread
tomatoes
beans
Sausages(bangers)
+Toast (on the side)

HP is "Houses of Parliament" brand Brown Sauce which has been selling in the UK for 80+ years.

There is also a Scottish variant which is called a Full Scottish breakfast.

The above is then followed with toast and marmalade.

You don't move a lot after a Full English!!

[Sticks]

Unfortunately they no longer make HP sauce here anymore

[torque of the town]

HP.........a sad day indeed!

Penquins........Licensed to "Cute" no doubt.

Now, that'll kill you. But, boy is it ever good!
