Ketchup is disgusting, the worst thing ever to happen to the glorious tomato. (And the sunshine’s overrated, too!)

My wife begs to differ. To her, ketchup is tomato wine. But is simply has to be Heinz – no other will do.
As for the topic of this thread, I am currently munching on…

This. I need my Heinz tomato sauce (tho I am willing to let it go at a football match as a Scotch Pie needs red sauce). Its the same with Tetley Tea.

I remember that ad campaign! Remember it fondly. And I know my anti-catsup opinion is a minority one. I used to use the stuff occasionally as a kid, like on sausages, but sometime around age 8 I just became irreversibly disgusted by it. I have never eaten a single chip, nor bite of hotdog, that was sullied by ketchup. Since the end of the ’70s, the only times I’d eaten ketchup semi-willingly was when I ordered a McDonald’s hamburger and forgot to ask that it be removed, requiring me to scrape off as much as I could, and wince at the taste of the defiled bun. And I haven’t eaten one of those since 1980-something.

Never had hash brown, but it looks like something I would love.Just had a big bowl of vanilla and chocolate ice cream. Sweet baby Jesus it’s hot.
Some day, try this out:
Put a thick slice of pound cake in a bowl.
On top of that, put 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream.
Then on top of that, pour heated chocolate syrup.
Instructions: Eat while the syrup is hot, combined with the coldness of the ice cream, with the rich texture of the pound cake completing the perfection.
Omygod that sounds so great. I’ll try that soon.
Still friggin hot outside btw. It was supposed to be raining and then it would be storming but so far nothing has happened. Yet.

I laughed my ass off when I read your post.
Awesome use of the word sullied – a word not often heard anymore. As for the defiled bun…that killed me.

Thanks Zig, I almost deleted that because I sound so damn pompous. What makes me superior just because my default condiment of choice is mustard? And I don’t mind Kraft’s BBQ sauce, which IS basically ketchup (with some hickory smoke flavour added, big deal). And it’s not as though I disapprove of anybody eating ketchup – I just really dislike the stuff and don’t want it anywhere near my mouth! Or on my plate. But if you approve of the post then that’s reason enough to keep it. Plus which you QUOTED part of it, so if I delete it becomes confusing for everybody.
Oh yeah, I’m currently “eating” my 7th (8th?) cup of coffee of the day. CAN U TELL??

Offline Have been snacking on cashew nuts all day. I just got a mad craving this morning and haven’t stopped eating the things since, apart from when I had an Asda ”chosen by you’ ratatouille for lunch (big mistake). I don’t know why anybody would choose to put that in their shop, knowing what it tastes like. You can make it yourself in 15 minutes, and it tastes so much better. Won’t bother again. Fresh is always best, I’ve now found.

Ever try cashew butter made from roasted cashews? It’s like peanut butter in heaven.

No, I’ve never had that. I can’t stand peanut butter, and I love peanuts, so I thought I might not like cashew butter either. Maybe I should try it.
