Don’t use the stuff. Mustard onions pickles on
Burgers and dogs.
You haven’t lived until you’ve had ketchup based tomato soup. Ummm,.
Ax or Ask?
Ketchup. Nobody says it the other way. Although it is made from tomatoes.
Catchup
In India people dip pizza in ketchup. It’s actually not bad in moderation, though I’ve had to chill on ketchup use because it’s heck on my digestive system – too acidic. :/
Ketchup. It’s a word originally from a Chinese dialect the English word was borrowed from Malay. “Catsup” is a new variant spelling that came well after “ketchup”.
American-style ketchup, as the Common Sense Eval says, does a good job of making poor/bland food a bit more palatable. If you want a treat, try a south-east Asian ketchup, especially mushroom ketchup. I recommend giving the fish sauce ketchup a miss, although fish sauce itself in modest quantity is an important part of many delicious SE Asian dishes.
Around here they pronounce it catch-up. Anyway you spell it, it’s good on scrambled eggs now & then.
In Asia, they put catsup on cat soup.
The Joy Of Cooking cookbook, as I recall, has a recipe for making grape ketchup.
I would be tempted to try it, but it involves canning and that cookbook has a warning of how you risk killing 3/4 of the world’s population if you don’t do it exactly right.
Addendum: The earliest quotation cited in the OED uses the ketchup spelling and is from the year 1711.
To me, ketchup is only good on omelettes, hash browns, and meat loaf.

Substitute Ketchup for Valentina Habenero Sauce and You have a
deal….Other than that…Hot Dogs are Mustard only
(Colonel Mustard ..in the Library…with the tongs)
I vote for Tomato Ketchup. The original name used to distinguish it from its beginnings as a pickled fish sauce in SE Asia. The Malaysian spelling being closest to the original English spelling.
I try to avoid the stuff, although my wife uses it as a base and flavoring for her chili recipe. I prefer (cane sugar) bbq sauce myself.
Hate mustard, hate mayo, most of the time I replace ketchup with Zurich sauce
Sriracha damnit!
Because of the communist Kerry connection catsup is considered contemptible.
@Wiredog1837 – You remind me of an exception to the ketchup-for-poor-food rule. I really, really like fresh, hot, crisp tater tots dipped in a 50:50 blend of ketchup and sriracha.
Kelly’s restaurant in the Houston area.
2 eggs over ezy giant pile of burnt up
hash browns with 6 strips of over sized
stop your heart BACON! Smothered in Heinz 57
catshup and generous squirts of Tabasco.
I can feel the sweat on my forehead already….
Ketchup. And I have an Ant in North Carolina who will kick your butt if you axe for catsup.
I prefer mayo, but it need to be Cain’s.
Ketchup or catsup is a phonetic equivalent of a chinese fish sauce, something like ke-tsiap(?). Thus “tomato catsup”- fish sauce with added sweetened tomato product.
And when I get a Costco Polish, it’s deli mustard, chopped onion, and ‘kraut. NO catsup.
Since I’ve gone low carb (Heinz’s low sugar ketchup is not really low carb), I’ve been making my own (it’s super simple). My wife has celiac disease, so this is also gluten free:
12 oz tomato paste
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup or more water (to achieve desired thickness)
1 Tablespoon your favorite mustard, but no whole mustard seeds
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
spices (I change my recipe for every batch, and use just a dash so as not to overpower): cumin, curry powder, allspice, cinnamon, cloves, chili powder, cajun seasoning, etc.). Be creative!
3 dropperfuls of liquid stevia sweetener (or to taste)
Mix all and simmer on low for 30 to 60 minutes.
I put into this squeeze bottle for easy dispensing: http://a.co/05vJDNz
Go buy some Pinoy banana sauce and enjoy.

Wife makes me crazy; puts ketchup on scrambled eggs! Who the hell does that? And on steak!!!! I love her, but that should be a criminal offense.

No matter what, you’re going to have that one kid that has to have every damn thing you make layered in the stuff, no matter what.
Must be all of the sugar…
Ketchup and Catsup were both a gift from Mahomet and figure largely in the Koran – for the drowning of jewish monkey-pigs and nazarene infidels.
If you do not believe; I killllllllll you!
Ketchup or Catsup. What about putting ketchup in your cat-soup?
