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'

You find even more topics of the pairing on Google

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?

Oh my comment wasn’t directed at you. Mainly the people who lose their shit if someone puts ketchup on their hotdog.

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.

And put dingle berries on their own food, more power to them

Damn dude - this thread was making me a little hungry. You just extinguished that in short order! Haha.

confuse good natured humor with outrage.

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....

True when I think of a number of my wife’s friends.

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.
