Steak with a side of Ketchup

Well done.  Or just done.

hope the chef runs that steak up and down the crack of his/her ass before serving 

all the money in the world can't take the white trash outta that family. 

Real news story there. Found a way to segue a condiment  choice into inside ties with the Russians.

They said he eats like a child. Like everything else he does

People tell me the meatloaf is fabulous. 

At times ketchup is the only thing that can save a badly cooked piece of meat

Hope they have beautiful chocolate cake.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with ketchup on steak.

For those who poo-poo it, and instead find steak sauce more cultured and appropriate: all steak sauce is is ketchup and Worcester.

>>>>>There's absolutely nothing wrong with ketchup on steak.

I'm going to have to disagree.  Especially if I'm the one eating the steak.

>>>>>>> instead find steak sauce more cultured and appropriate

Also, not okay.

Timmy, have you had a problem with people putting ketchup on your steak?

There's absolutely nothing wrong with ketchup on steak.<<<

Only if you're under ten years old.

Or if you like it.

Damn, we have some seriously judgmental food snobs around here.

>>>>>Timmy, have you had a problem with people putting ketchup on your steak?

Only once.  Putting the body on a pike in the kitchen discouraged the kitchen staff from making that mistake again.

I also don't have a problem with someone putting ketchup on their steak.  Put urine on it if you like it.  

Ketchup however is the devils condiment.  Vile stuff.  Only okay in very small amounts on a hot dog, or a burger if there are no other options for condiments.

It must be a Southern California thing. I have another friend wh calls it the "devil's condiment." He tells tawdry stories about going down to the docks, wherever the hell he grew up, and seeing open 50 gallon drums of ketchup being taken off the liners, with birds shitting in it.

>>>>>I have another friend wh calls it the "devil's condiment."

I blame watching 10 minutes of The Waterboy yesterday for me typing that. I don't think I've ever heard anybody call it that before.  Pretty funny.

Does Obama use condiments?

>>>>>There's absolutely nothing wrong with ketchup on steak.

YES There Is .............Blech..

Surprising, would have thought that he was a chicken fingers fries kind of guy.

PLF, we've already determined that people from Southern California are raised to have an intense hatred of ketchup. I don't hold it against you. It's a cultural thing.

heinz ketchup on fries is damn good. 

ketchup has its place, just not on nice cuts of steak.....unless you like that kind of fucked up situation. 

Haha nedb

That was pretty funny

Thanks for the chuckle

This explains a lot about Brian k.

Ketchup also doesn't belong on a hotdog. Ever.

i like ketchup on fries and hash browns

Ketchup also doesn't belong on a hotdog. Ever.  <<<

This ^^

I Put 2 things on Steaks thats it

1. Course Pepper

2.. tiny dash of salt

FIRE Up The Grill

You've made an assumption, JR, as to what I put on my steak.

The only thing that you do know is that I don't judge someone for their choice of condiments, nor do I go all food Nazi about what is right or wrong to put on food.

I also have to ask, for all those people who said that the Philly Cheesesteak is one of their favorite sandwiches, do you put ketchup on that?

I'm gonna call foul BK.  You said "There's absolutely nothing wrong with ketchup on steak."

That implies you like steak with ketchup on it.  Had you said "There's absolutely nothing wrong with putting ketchup on steak" that would be more of an it's okay for others to do statement.

philly cheesesteak and a bone in ribeye/porterhouse/etc isn't the same thing. 

i also don't put cheese on my steak. 

steak sandwich, yes. 

Do people put ketchup on cheesesteaks? 

The only time I use ketchup is on a burger and sometimes on french fries or home fries.

i prefer mustard on a hotdog. 

w/ chili and diced white onion. good shit.

YES !

sharp cheddar is Good too On Chili dogs

Just Say NO To Ketchup On any Meat unless You are 11 years old or younger

You're over-thinking it, Timmy. That shit is a bit beyond semantics.

Fuck yeah, I'll put ketchup on something like a NY Strip steak. It helps it slide down.

Yes, Slack, ketchup is pretty much standard on a cheesesteak.

damn, i would like one of each now. 

so hungry! 

Ok, a Philly cheesesteak should NEVER have ketchup on it. NEVER!!!!

And for a steak, if you order your yours cooked past medium you deserve to have ketchup on it.

Just sayin'

No ketchup on a steak. Just no. NO!

No ketchup on a hotdog (mustard and onions are fine - as is kraut and pickle relish - or any combo of the four).

Ketchup on a burger is understandable, but not when there are better options.

Ketchup on fries is acceptable. It just is.

Ketchup is okay in Thousand Island dressing.

Ketchup on French toast!

Used to have ketchup on lamb chops when I was a kid. No more.

No ketchup on fries, Dijon mustard instead.

No ketchup on hot dogs, yellow mustard instead (and sauerkraut, if it's there).

No ketchup on burgers, yellow mustard, mayo and dill pickles instead.

I like Chili sauce in Thousand Island instead of ketchup.

Now I'm hungry.

Sometimes I like sour cream and chives on fries.

I like ketchup on meat loaf but that's about it.

I'm cool with ketchup on meatloaf - but salsa is better.

My co-worker ordered mayo and cheese on a shrimp po-boy. Made me ill watching that.

Ketchup on Mac n Cheese.

Or is it Catsup?

6 is generation poser 

Mark, in pictures above it's both, depending on the brand. Heinz Ketchup, Hunts Catsup.

Judit, I think Brochachi should be banned for making such a hurtful post.

The level of food Naziism in this thread is astounding. Where on Earth do all these rules about condiments come from?

This can go on this, but not that. That should never get this.

Who says? Some unwritten rules of food snobbery or supposed mature taste buds?

Do you guys really pass judgment on a person for putting ketchup on a steak or a friggin' hot dog?

I'll tell you, I'm about as good a cook as anyone on this Board, and I've eaten at some of them he finest and shittiest restaurants in the world. One thing I'm not is a food snob.

>>I'm about as good a cook as anyone on this Board

Being a good cook is one thing, but putting ketchup on food is another thing entirely.

>>Do you guys really pass judgment on a person for putting ketchup on a steak or a friggin' hot dog?

I'm pretty sure no one is stopping anyone else from eating in whatever manner they prefer - but be reasonable - if we did not all have opinions - this would not be much of a discussion board.

I used to know a guy who put butter and ketchup on saltines. Used to

My parents used to know a guy back in the day who would make a complete breakfast - bacon, eggs, toast, juice, coffee -  and then blender it before eating.

No ketchup though.

>>>>>Who says? 

Chefs with Michelin Stars, and most respectable people.

just curious, why would one need ketchup on a 75 day dry aged bone in ribeye? 

What do you drink with that? 

Chefs with Michelin stars are self-absorbed prigs, and I try not to hang around with respectable people.

i don't drink alcohol, so water. maybe a mexican coke if it's around. 

>> just curious, why would one need ketchup on a 75 day dry aged bone in ribeye? 

Because he ordered it well done and there was no moisture left in it.

So, is this ketchup thread the longest civil discussion in Viva history?

Ketchup is the great unifier.

Do you guys really pass judgment on a person for putting ketchup on a steak or a friggin' hot dog?

It ain't Life & Death.

But there is Right and Wrong

Last night I was at a friends and he was making some polish sausages.

Everyone went for the spicy mustard except one guy, who picked up the ketchup.

 Naturally I thought of this thread, and before I could say a word, two people harshed on him for 

his choice. He ignored everyone and ate what he wanted.

Could've been worse.  He might have looked for mayo..

I do draw a line at mayo on pastrami. That should just be illegal.

Mix it with ketchup and call it Thousand Island, it's a whole different ballpark. 

>>Do you guys really pass judgment on a person for putting ketchup on a steak or a friggin' hot dog?

Definitely. And I think it should be an impeachable offense when applicable. 

Everyone appears to have their line. Even "live and let eat" Brian passes judgement when it comes to pastrami. Who knew?

He probably is a peeping Don, but I don't see how passing on the Pop Tarts proves that.

People that like ketchup probably drink Mt Dew too.

Mt Dew is the nectar of the Tards.

lol. I used to work with a guy who drank two 2 liter bottles of mountain dew every day. Usually washed down with a bag of mini peanut butter cups. Worst diet I've ever seen and he was skinny as fuck too

You worked with Sideshow?

Sideshow probably grills his peanut butter cups after a quick Mountain dew marinade

No reason to be snooty towards ketchup. It has it's purpose. You ever make bbq sauce? 

Mtn Dew should be stricken from the earth. It's vile.
