Speaking specifically of hamburgers and hotdogs...

What makes it okay to cover my dog or burger in mustard, but not add ketchup?

I have wondered this for quite some time, and I knew you guys would be able to give me a real answer that won't be provided on the OT.

I wouldn't say offensive, people like what they like. Personally I think ketchup masks the flavor of what it is being put on, instead of enhancing the flavor. I use ketchup as an ingredient, not a condiment.

I didn't think anyone was bashing the use of ketchup on hotdogs, hamburgers, and the like.

Now ketchup on a nice cut of steak is an entirely different ballgame.

You don't use it as a condiment on fries?

Nope. I'd rather a good aioli or malt vinegar and salt.

Look, this is all subjective. I'd rather not use it, some people love it. Doesn't bother me if they do.

Microwave a ribeye,
Dip it in ketchup,
Come back and tell me that's not the best thing you've ever tasted.

It's coagulated sugar with red food coloring. Zero health benefits.

Ketchup is great on burgers and CFA sandwiches. I also like to use it as a dipping sauce for fried fish, fried shrimp, and chicken strips.

Outside of that, I don't need ketchup.

ketchup on hotdogs is to satiate the palate of a child, imo. I have no problem with adults having childlike tendencies as long as it doesn't affect me.

Lately I've only been eating ketchup when I wanted too. It's been working out.

There are other condiments I prefer over ketchup, but I still eat plenty. I do know that there are some burger establishments that refuse to carry ketchup and consider it offensive if you ask.
