I only eat ketchup with foods that contain the word “hash”-- either browns or corned beef.

The only thing I must have ketchup on is boiled dinner: smoked shoulder, cabbage and potatoes. Something about boiled cabbage that demands ketchup.

I also cannot make kale soup without it.

Learn something every day. Are you serious? Do you grab a forkful of cabbage and dip into ketchup? Not saying it’s wrong, just never seen it done nor tried it.

FWIW boiled cabbage does demand a few things, but I never thought of condiment.

Fight my ignorance, kiddo! I love cabbage and am always looking for a way to improve the cruciforms in general.

Mostly I just squirt ketchup all over the cabbage on my plate. For variety, sometimes I use catsup.

ketchup… catsup… ketchup… catsup…
