Like it. To each his own.

You should find a few comments about ketchup there, as well.

some people need something wet like Ketchup or butter of mayonnaise or Bernaise sauce to help them digest. So they go with what works on different things.

She woukd put it in her coffee, on pizza, scrambled egg sandwiches, and pasta.

On just regular eggs themselves, I don't do it - but I do get ketchup (and pepper) on a BEC or SEC. A bit too dry when it's plain with nothing on it - at least in my opinion. I just don't really like sandwiches with no condiments/dressings/anything.

Light ketchup, though. I don't dump a ton of it on there.

and scrambled eggs finding their way into the mix, which is how I like it on the occasions I have my eggs scrambled.

Sorry to hear about your faulty member.

care what others eat but it just struck me as odd that ketchup seems to be the default thing to put on it unless you specifically say no and in today’s case even if you say no.

Coffee? WTF?

The other stuff is mostly weird and pretty gross... but ketchup in coffee is just something totally different.

a ketchup-y fried rice is often dressed with some ketchup as well.

Not cool.

I like ketchup on egg sandwiches and hotdogs when chili is not available.

butter is fine.

One would say so. But it's an 'actual thing'

It seems heretical, although I guess once you've put bacon on a bagel, along with cheese, you've broken so many unwritten rules and traditions you might as well just throw ketchup on it too.

How was the egg cooked? If it was a runny yolk style, along with the ketchup, I can't do it because it'll likely run out the hole and end up all over my polo shirt.

In the middle of the summer there's no excuse for it to replace a nice fresh slice of ripe tomato, so it's a seasonal issue too along with cultural for me.

But yeah, some folks like ketchup on eggs. It may have started with ketchup-upped home fries leaking over onto an omelette or something.

condiments other people like on their own food are morons.

i agree.

I agree with BlueLou on a bagel I'd never use ketchup, but on a sandwich most definitely. I disagree about not putting all that stuff on it. Jews are really missing out on taylor ham, egg, and cheese on an everything. I go back and forth between those and lox and cream cheese when I need a bagel fix. People that put ketchup on everything are just sugar junkies.

who ignore your instructions, though?

late today so I won’t downgrade the place for being out of everything bagels. The eggs were soft scrambled as requested.

Zeke - what is Taylor ham as opposed to other types of ham?

Interestingly enough I can get it down here at Publix in Florida.

I never understand the outrage over ketchup on a hot dog. It's very normal and very common.

Every hot dog stand on the planet has ketchup if you want it.

And yeah, I put some fucking ketchup on my hot dogs. I also put mustard on them... and relish... and kraut. Basically the works.

Maybe it's looked at as more of a kids thing or something - I don't know. The only time I ever have a dog really is when I'm at a baseball game anyway. I just put everything on it.

Mrs Big Al often laughs at me for the strange combinations of food I eat. A day back she brought me home a beef patty from a Caribbean place. I looked in the fridge and found some macaroni salad to have with it. She gave me a dismayed look but later ate hers with it.

Haha. It's not you, Al... there have just been countless BBI threads over the years where you're basically a terrorist if you put ketchup on a hot dog according to a few of our posters. Always amusing.

I don’t like ketchup on scrambled eggs or an omelet, but I do like it on an egg sandwich. Bacon, egg and cheese or Taylor ham and cheese can be rich because of the fatty components. The vinegar and tomatoes in the ketchup cuts the richness and adds some zing.

on eggs and egg sandwiches, then it was sriracha, now it's Zatarain's cajun hot sauce (when I'm at home) or any hot sauce when I'm out.

hot sauce on your eggs is not just delicious, but it is good for the metabolism.

I had always put ketchup on scrambled eggs from the time I was little, maybe because my older cousin did it, i tried it and liked it.

But it went to a whole different level when I lived in NoVa and they had this change of New Mexican style Mexican restaurants called Anita's. they made these awesome breakfast burritos with eggs, chorizo, and cheese and they'd serve them with hot sauce. They were $1. I could crush 3 or 4 of those breakfast burritos (though I usually only ate 1).

since then I enjoyed the hot sauce combined with the burrito and started adding it to all my egg dishes.

I wonder if Anita's still exists in NoVa, just about the only thing I like about that place.

not change

Are my jam comrade

The list of names you can label someone with for the act of garnishing a hotdog with ketchup is pretty amusing in itself:

communist
terrorist
heretic
libertarian
democrat
republican
hick
moron

and my favorite

kid

And I agree about hot sauce on eggs, though I prefer a non-tomato based one.

Do you find that you have a sweet tooth? Do you eat a lot of sugar? There is something about putting ketchup on hot dog as far as flavor profile goes that makes no sense to the rest of us.

Not all of them are criminals. Some are good people.

are good people. I've been in situations or circumstances where you really have to have a belief system in place to hold onto that.

Heinous.

Without ketchup? Just gross....

My sister in laws kids put mayonnaise and ketchup on their dogs. They also mix the concoction for a fries dip.

Egg and cheese sandwich. I wouldn't put it on a bagel though.

When I used to get a pork roll, egg, and cheese, on a hard roll they always put ketchup on it as the standard way it was made. Matter of fact I think that it how I first came to like the taste, they just served it that way.

LOL. Hell that goes for me with MY friends quite often,



or I might not have any.... ;-o

I don’t get it at all. But again to each his own.

because that's what my dad did. As I've gotten older, I have gone to things like hot sauce or salsa.

but to really get to the next level of greatness, try topping a bacon, egg, and cheese with apricot jam. Yup, apricot jam on a breakfast sandwich is an amazing combination.







Not.

not on bagels or anything bread, but on eggs, hash browns, etc.

because then it breaks down into more of a thinner, vinegar-flavored condiment instead of a cold, sugary goop. Warm ketchup on a burger or with some fries randomly. Other than that, I'm not a ketchup guy.

I think ketchup ruins eggs and hot dogs.

Straight on eggs, I agree. But if you have am egg sandwich with a salty type of meat and some cheese it's not bad because you get that savory sweet thing going.

Not with bacon, taylor ham, sausage, ketchup is an assertive sauce that hits the same notes. It's like having Valencia and Paige blasting away on a solo at the same time.

what's next ketchup on pancakes.

On my eggs Benedict.

That this morning with 4 strips of bacon. yummy.

eggs beaten but not scrambled with ketchup on toast always hit the spot.

Mayo and ketchup mixed is basically called Fry sauce in Utah. It's basically Russian dressing. We mix it for the grandkids for turkey and for some reason I don't recall, call it dippit

Actually it is 'French Dressing'. If you want Russian add relish. (8>

Actually, it's not Russian nor French. Both have a base of mayo and ketchup. Russian, as you say, usually includes relish. French includes sugar and vinegar plus various other ingredients. So I'll leave mayo and ketchup as dippit, as I'm sure one of the grandkids named it :)

is basically just mayo and ketchup. There are versions of it that may contain relish or vinegar.

My old man used to put small dollops of ketchup on fried egg sandwiches. Also sometimes droplets of Worcestershire sauce. I got those things from him, and to this day (I'm 73) I always get a ketchup packet with my Egg McMuffins at Mickey D's.

I won’t eat scrambled eggs or a hot dog without ketchup. And I’m not a kid. Far from it. It’s just what I like. I probably wouldn’t be attracted to the women some of you are married to, because my taste is different than yours. Weird, right?

The corner deli or bagel store isn’t going to have a myriad of options being thrown around and the default is salt pepper ketchup. That’s the same whether on a bagel or hardroll as anyone who eats them regularly can attest to. You aren’t weird for not getting it but you are definitely in the minority. Now many parts of the country don’t have literally 5 places within a square mile to get this at, but if you are in tristate area this is basic stuff.

Also it’s a fried egg on the sandwich unless you ask otherwise. And having purchased breakfast sandwiches from many locales I can say only a small percentage would understand if you asked for something different.

.

but that's it.

On a BEC bagel putting ketchup on it is criminal.

ROTFLMAO...

I'm a food bargain hunter, and I often shop at a funky supermarket chain called Grocery Outlet, that rolls through excess lot productions and items approaching their sell by date when the big boys won't take those items any longer.

I can't help but look at every item that's a steal of a price, and just the other day my eyes were drawn to 3 packs of real imported Italian Prosciutto, thinly sliced 3 oz packets, all 3 for $4. Four bucks for over half a pound of real Italian Prosciutto conveniently vacuum packed thinly sliced in 3 x 3 oz packets.

Man that was hard to pass up...

with sweet butter and a slice or three of roma tomatoes on it might have to make it onto the menu soon if that prosciutto is still there tomorrow...

They happened to have "Fontina" as well, although domestic and not imported. Still pretty much the perfect cheese for that sandwich.

from Pittsburgh gave me a bunch of shit for having Hunt's Ketchup and not Heinz (it's what the bodega on the corner sells.) I honestly don't taste any difference.

unless you are Oscar Madison, and he used a lot too.

That adds to a meal. I always thought ketchup like mustard was a "safe" condiment. Something I could turn to and consume in abundance as opposed to mayo or thousand island or ranch or sour cream for example. Then i noticed that ketchup is a big offender of the dreaded HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP and have since moved to a Frenchs brand that doesnt include HFCS. Still tastes good and ketchupy and allows me some peace of mind. Just an FYI.

I got shit for posting a photo of a great burger I made (on a food forum) with a bottle of Hunt's ketchup alongside it. Hunt's is good ketchup, too but years ago when I compared it seemed Heinz's was more vinegary. I think they are closer in taste to one another now, but haven't bothered to test it. I buy whatever is on sale at the time my current bottle is nearing empty.

It was started in western PA. That's why your Pittsburgh friend said that. Regional thing.

HFCS is definitely pretty bad for you. In fact it’s just as bad as cane sugar.

about it, but I notice when the ketchup isn't Heinz and if I had a choice I'd pick Heinz.

When the brand of ketchup comes up it always reminds me of the scene from Vacation.

of any kind. That's about it. Wouldn't think of putting ketchup on an egg sandwich of any kind.

favorite ketchup is Sir Kensington's, more tomatoey than sweet. I like all of their products (over priced as they might be).

I prefer Heinz over Hunts, but this stuff, while more expensive, has been winning me over lately - especially with eggs.

but I'm here to tell you that equal parts ketchup and sriracha is a fan-fucking-tastic burger/fries condiment.
