(2,563 posts)I hate ketchup so much that when I eat in restaurants, I erect a little barrier of the napkin dispenser, salt and pepper shakers, steak sauce, etc., and hide the ketchup bottle behind that barrier so I don't even have to look at it.
I don't eat French fries often, but when I do, I eat them without any condiments on them at all. I like that potato-ey flavor and don't want to cover it up with anything else.
Have you ever visited Belgium? In that country, they dip fries in mayonnaise. I ate at a McDonald's in that country once in about 2004 and dipped my fries in mayonnaise because ... well, because, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."
Pat Sajak and Vanna White used to argue on air about putting ketchup on hot dogs. White puts it on hers, Sajak hates it on his. I, of course, am on Sajak's side in this debate. Ketchup on hot dogs is an obscenity to me. I put mustard, onions and sauerkraut on my hot dogs. Or, chili and mustard.
I love tomatoes, but there's something they do to tomatoes when they make ketchup out of them that just ruins them. IMHO. Yuck.
