Ketchup is a disgusting condiment loaded with sugar.

BBQ basically is ketchup with brown sugar and other smokey flavor added in

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.

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!

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.

It of course depends on the market. In California they are not hard to find.

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

TIL there is sugar in ketchup
Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 9 months ago
No, there’s a bit of ketchup in the sugar
How could you not know that ketchup is sugar?!?

I was half jokingly wondering why the top comment was a truism
Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 9 months ago
I’m not sure if the sugar part is meant to be evidence on how disgusting it is but I like sugar
Nudding@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Sugar bad
Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 9 months ago
Right. It’s a bit like saying chocolate bad. I’m sure it’s not some health food, but in moderation seems fine.

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!

Nothing more adult than worrying your choice of condiment might be perceived as immature
GBU_28@lemm.ee 9 months ago
What a silly statement.

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.

You make a good point.

Dang. I run prefer mustard, mayo, and ketchup, in that order, with my fries.
Horseradish on fries? Never tried it. With Prime rib? Sure.
