My mother’s second husband (the jerk who doesn’t deserve the word “step-father”) used to put ketchup on everything. Not just on one food at a time, either. He would take his potatoes (fried or mashed were his two favorites for this little “trick”), his meat, and his vegetable, mash them all together, douse the entire concoction with ketchup, and eat like it was freakin’ chocolate ice cream to us sane people. I’ve never understood that… Don’t even get me started on what he did to pizza when we’d order out. The horror! Ketchup on baked ham is pretty tasty, though - I’ll give him that. -Syko ---

Putting ketchup on a hot dog makes the obligatory Baby Jesus Cry and condemns the offender to a special level of hell. I even think Cecil had a column about it. ---

Is it just me…I love ketchup, but I have a problem with all things in a squeezable bottle. I find squeezable jelly is just plain inhumane, but the sqeezable ketchup is killing my love for all the childhood joy of ketchup when it was packaged in those slick, familiar glass bottles. Must I go to a diner just to experience that simple pleasure again? Sadness. ---

Ketchup is okay. Like any other condiment, it has its place, but…let’s just keep it **red** , please. Ketchup is **not green** , or any other color but red for that matter. ---
