I’m a chaotic neutral myself. It almost, but not quite appalls my wife.

      There are so many no sugar added ketchups. They’re not hard to find.

      Also, how do you feel about BBQ sauce? They’re also loaded with sugar, moreso than ketchup.

          The only time I really use bbq sauce is as a marinade before something goes on the grill, never really as a dip. The only time I use ketchup is as an ingredient/thin glaze in/on meatloaf before the oven.

        Yes my favorite ketchups only have the original sugars from the vegetables used. And usually have some richer spices and more prominent vinegar.

        Unfortunately those usually contain artificial sweeteners and still taste way too sweet.

        I finally managed to find one local (to the Netherlands) brand that sells ketchup without added sugars or sweeteners. The brand was actually started by a person with diabetes who wanted to cut out all sugar from her diet.

        It’s so much better than the standard Heinz stuff. Much more savory, you can actually taste the tomatoes.

        I tend to avoid sweet stuff in general-- I don’t dislike it but I’m not often in the mood for it. I eat ketchup sometimes but I more often put sriracha on fries. BBQ sauce that isn’t disgustingly sweet is difficult to find, and I’d love more ketchup options to be widely available. There’s a reason heinz had 57 varieties dammit!

          Everyone has their personal preferences, that’s totally fine.

          I just think saying ketchup is disgusting because it commonly has some sugar in it is a ridiculous statement that ignores a ton of cuisine. Even ketchup that has sugar in it doesn’t have nearly as much as a lot of other sweet and savory foods so I don’t understand why it gets singled out so much.

      Ketchup is fine for small children and the infirm. But that’s it. Everyone else should be using mustard, (preferably with horseradish in it), or some other stronger flavored condiment. Be the adult you are!

        Mustard is gross af too, though. Horseradish is biological warfare, not edible food, and I will die on that hill.

        I’m not a condiment person, even adding salt and pepper “to taste” is something I very very rarely do. Condiments are a waste of cooking skill and good ingredients. If I use anything it’s probably hot sauce or like sweet chilli or something actually transformative, or the food is barely edible without it (which I try to avoid). Everything else can go straight in the trash.

        I like the actual taste of my food, no need to cover it up and make it taste exactly the same way every single time via condiments. Be an adult and experience subtle flavor variety.

        Ofc maybe you need condiments because you are a shit cook. That’s ok too, but it doesn’t make you more adult than someone who prefers things differently.

        Dang. I run prefer mustard, mayo, and ketchup, in that order, with my fries.

        Horseradish on fries? Never tried it. With Prime rib? Sure.

          There is little wrong with ketchup, (I am not a big fan of all the sweeteners they put in it these days), but the same old same old gets boring after awhile. A good spicy German mustard is a great choice for your fries. Open your mind and palate to new things.

          To butcher a quote from Andrew Zimmern, “Always try the eyeballs, you never know how good they might taste”

      I’m not sure if the sugar part is meant to be evidence on how disgusting it is but I like sugar

    Where’s the one where you suck ketchup straight from the packet and then toss some fries in your mouth?

      That might also qualify as lawful evil, but it does really taste good

    Where is “putting some fries in your mouth, then squeezing ketchup into your mouth”?

    That’s funny because I’m a CG on other charts as well.

    Also hilarious you couldn’t find a picture of ketchup soaked fries but you could find a picture of ketchup in a hand?

      Plus man… you can generate the image with AI now days… That’s said my attempts didn’t quite get me the level of soakness or covering I wanted. This is probably the best I think, if you imagine there are fries under the ketchup and not a ketchup bowl with fries placed on the borders:

    Using a ketchup packet to apply on the toothbrush, cover your entire teeth with ketchup, and then eat fries.
