Ketchup is for children. Not exclusively, obviously anybody can eat ketchup. Just like anybody can ride a bike with training wheels. Ketchup is the "training wheels" of condiments.
Anywhere you can put ketchup, you can put BBQ sauce, hot sauce, or just straight up vinegar, for a better tasting experience.
Kids just don't like the acid. But that taste grows on us when we get older. And then we wonder why we have GERD.
I was with you until vinegar. Why would you put a cleaning agent on food?
Very common in Rhode Island to put salt and vinegar on French fries. Or a simple salad dressing consisting of oil, vinegar, and herbs.
Yea couldn't eat those fries. Dressings are fine, some but not all.
I kinda agree with you. I see a lot of recepies calling for vinegar to add acidity, but its just not right for me. I like acidity, but i dont like vinegar. I think its an aquired taste
I don't mind cooking with it when the receipe calls for it, but I keep my amounts small and usually vinegar is not part of the flavor of the final product.
But things flavored with vinegar like those god awful chips. Or the maniac above Who uses it like a condiment?!?! YYaaaeech.
I’ll usually consider a slice of pickle if you need a sharp taste. Also, let’s not forget good mustard.
