Ketchup: Love It or Hate It?

March 28, 2009

A friend once said to me, "I'm hungry for a hamburger. Why? Because I want to eat ketchup." He loves ketchup so much that he'll order food — burgers, fries, etc. — with the specific desire of enjoying ketchup.

I think ketchup is a great condiment, but I've never really doused my food in it. How do you feel about it?

Hate ketchup - I'm a barbecue sauce girl through and through. I live in London right now and return from trips home with several bottles of KC Masterpiece each time

I like it on burgers, fries, hot dogs. My husband puts it on eggs and the smell nearly makes me vomit. Seriously.

I hate ketchup, as well as most other condiments. Guess I'm just a plain person. But seriously if anything even touches ketchup I won't eat it.I've never liked, even when I was little I wouldn't go near the stuff.

I love ketchup, use it on scrambled eggs, hot dogs, hamburgers, with fries, hashbrowns, on top of meatloaf. I get the low sugar kind because regular is just too sweet and i never buy heinz because i cant stand John Kerry and his wife.

I hate ketchup. I'm not a big mustard fan, but at least a little of a nice honey or dijon mustard on the right sandwich is good. Ketchup, in my opinion, ruins everything. And when something comes with it, there's always so much! I like tomatoes, but ketchup is so sweet and gross. Glad to know there are others who don't like ketchup!

I have a friend who loves ketchup, but I can't stand the stuff. (Ironically, I like tomatoes and she hates them). My condiment for fries is barbecue sauce. Everyone thinks I'm weird because I don't like ketchup, good to know there are others out there!

I hate all condiments. I was at a restaurant the other night and I thought I'd just give ketchup one more try, and I dipped my fork in it and had to take a gulp of water right away! It's so nasty! On the other hand, I have a friend who eats ketchup with EVERYTHING...

Too much sugar (HFCS)! I do like to make homemade curry ketchup, though.

I actually only use ketchup on fries, and I only eat them once or twice a year.

I used to be a Heinz devotee but I hate HFCS so I tried the Trader Joe's organic ketchup and it's all I'll use now.

I used to hate it. I would cringe whenever I saw someone put ketchup on fries. Nowadays though, I find myself enjoying just a little with the food that calls for it, ie. fries, hotdog, burger. though I think it's due to my expanding tste range. i used to hate curry but now i love it too. though i won't go through bottles in one week.

I'm indifferent. I like it on some things (e.g. fries, meatloaf, burgers); but, on anything else (e.g. hot dogs) it's a no-no. Also, I'm partial to Heinz ketchup.
