joehoya did you ever make your own ketchup?

80 p do you eat ketchup on everything?? I have a cousin who did.
for the record, ketchup ain’t so bad, it does the job it was meant to do.

Just to be very clear - we will not tolerate hate speech of any kind on this blog - it may seem wrong to you that certain people insist on drowning perfectly good food in disgusting bland ketchup, but they are people just like you and me and we have to accept them.

As far as mass-produced, Heinz/Hunt’s/etc. style ketchup is concerned, NOTHING needs ketchup.

But fries can definitely benefit from a good home-made dip like the ones at Granville Moore’s (hot sauce, garlic ranch, curry, etc.) And homemade ketchup is a completely different animal than the bright red stuff.

And this doesn’t even begin to consider the role of such Euro-favored condiments as mayonaisse or malt vinegar.

okay, so i didn’t want to get into this, but i guess we have to. fries never need ketchup, unless they’re terrible so then the ketchup disguises the flavor. real french fry fans enjoy the actual taste of the fries and don’t need a sauce to cover the flavor, just a sprinkling of salt.

I’m sorry, fries ALWAYS need ketchup.
