Practice Safe Eating: Use a Condiment

Re: Practice Safe Eating: Use a Condiment

I like ketchup. I put it on hot dogs. It tastes good.
I don’t put it on brats and not because it’s a kids thing. I don’t put it on because it doesn’t taste good on brats.

Hot dogs: ketchup and mustard. Good relish, dill preferred.
Brats: mustard. If it’s a flavored brat I put extras on. Chili cheese brats get shredded cheddar and sour cream. Pizza brats get red sauce and mozzarella. For instance.
Burgers: bun, dill pickles, k+m, cheese (not melted on grill preferred), lettuce, burger, mayo, bun
Chicken sandwiches: always mayo
Fries, hash browns: ketchup
Sweet potato fries: aioli of some sort, herbs de Provence are good.
Carrots: poppy seed dressing or bbq sauce (fight me)
Steak: nothing that didn’t come from the steak itself
Deli sandwich: sometimes mayo, usually Tabasco chipotle, usually one of five kinda of mustard (brown/deli, yellow, honey, stone ground, Dijon), sometimes horseradish sauce (I think it’s silverspring applewood - the stuff is insane)
Pizza: nothing

Putting ketchup on brats is a crime against humanity. If you are not lucky enough to live in the Secret Stadium Sauce distribution area (or able to buy it online), mustard is acceptable. Ketchup is not.

Generally speaking, Inglehoffer makes a pickle-flavored mustard. It is amazing.

Vinegar. I vastly prefer it to ketchup on fries.

Fair play. I like malt vinegar on fish and chips about twice a year.

And yes, brown mustard is the way to go most of the time. Occasionally, the neon yellow stuff is more appropriate (like on a coney or Chicago dog).

What about our thoughts on sour cream? Hummus? BBQ sauce?

That available at Woodman's? If so, I foresee myself making a road trip to Kenosha soon.

No, it's not. It's a personal preference. The only thing childish about brats and ketchup are the people who throw a tantrum about people who do it. (NOt saying you're throwing a tantrum, but I know people who do.)

If it feels good, do it.

I would not call any food choice "childish" (I personally would consume an entire bag of circus peanuts happily if not physically constrained). But catsup as a sweet condiment on certain meats which already have sweetness (hot dogs, brats) is... ew. Fully adult ew, but ew nonetheless.

Catsup on burgers, OTOH... heaven.

As a native of the Chicagoland area who recognizes that ketchup tastes bad, I agree with this. Now, I believe that ketchup tastes bad on anything, but the root of the ketchup on hot dog thing isn't really that it's for kids. It really is because ketchup is particularly gross on a hot dog. I mean, it's gross on everything, but it's especially gross on a hot dog. It just doesn't mix well with the other things that go on a hot dog.

But the people who get bent out of shape about it are pretty crazy.

He could also be trolling. He does that from time to time. :p

That said, if you're white and middle class or higher (and 95% of the posters here are), you're probably pretentious about at least a few things in your life. I'll allow it.

Plus hasn't walrus said something before about dietary restrictions he has to follow?

Fair enough

Fair enough.

That had literally nothing to do with dietary restrictions.

I knew you were OK in my book. :)

Steak and sauce? Just a dab, just to see how it feels. Maybe. Same with ribs (dry rub all the way overall). Any sauce should enhance the flavor, not take it over. Like adding salt to food, etc.

I should add, on the note of salt, unless it's corn on the cob or green beans, I don't put salt on anything.
 
Re: Practice Safe Eating: Use a Condiment

Hellman's came out with a ketchup that's sweetened with honey instead of sugar. Me likey.
 
Re: Practice Safe Eating: Use a Condiment

Wait, what's the alternative to store bought ketchup? Like, making it myself?
 
Re: Practice Safe Eating: Use a Condiment

I'm trying to think of something more hipster than homemade ketchup. All I can come up with is maybe homemade ketchup made from some fruit other than tomato.

That green ketchup stuff? Maybe?

Also: salsa? Condiment, or base, or both?
