A trash heap where it fucking belongs.
There isn't a thing that you can put ketchup on that a good BBQ sauce or hot sauce isn't better on. I will die on this hill.

Jokes on you, the trash heap is now deliciously seasoned.
Hot dogs
You disgust me
Even if you aren't a mustard purist, there are so many better things to put on a hot dog before ketchup.
Mustard. Ketchup. Relish optional. Perfection!
Meatloaf!
hashbrowns
That's just shredded fries!
Sometimes! I make mine with onions, peppers, and carrots. My favorite diner doesn't shred them, just slices them thin. Some places bake them instead of frying them, too. There's a hashbrown for every occasion, they're not just tinier french fries.
Also, okay, I know it's relatively rare to french your fries these days, but it's even more unheard of to french a hashbrown. (I'd totally eat a frenched hashbrown, though.)
i have so many spare sachets of ketchup from mcdonalds, and recently i've been experimenting with them to make a good sauce to mix into plain noodles. ketchup, sweet soy sauce, paprika, chili oil, chili flakes, toss in some random spices, and that's a good noodle sauce.
before finding that combination, i've gotten quite a few that were way less palatable.
my alternate answer is spaghetti, just to piss off the italians.
Was at a cookout last weekend where I met a bunch of Italians. I just moved to CT where seafood pizza is apparently a thing so I had to ask them. Boooooy, did that ever get them started. And then I said I also like pineapple on my pizza.
The fish part of fish and chips. No thanks on the malt vinegar. Y'all can keep your dirty foot water away from my fishies thanks.
On Fire.
The stuff stinks. If the devil has blood it would be tomato sauce.
Nipples
One time I made pasta for myself and a friend (also roommate). The sauce a bit spicy, with herbs, simmered for a while. One of my favorites. We sat down to eat and he said โyum this is so delicious.โ Then he got up, walked to the fridge, grabbed the ketchup, and squeezed it all over the pasta and sauce.
Fried chicken, mostly. But ketchup goes well with a lot of fried food imo.
Omg you just unlocked childhood memories of eating fried chicken with ketchup. It's been decades. I need to try that again.
There's even a famous place here that serves chicken with banana ketchup by default, and fried sweet potato fries available as a side. And it's actually a decent pairing!
Real answer:
- Open a can of tuna and mix it in
- Salad. Yes, I know. Yes it tastes great.
Ketchup on canned tuna, yeah, I've done it. I'd rather have some mayo and sriracha on it, but it's not that bad.
Ketchup on salad though, I can imagine it, I don't remember if I've actually tried it, but unless we're talking about sweet salads (like ones made out of condensed milk, all-purpose cream, canned fruit cocktail, gelatin cubes and the works), I don't think it's actually that hideous. Heck, I even think it'd go okay with something like potato salad!
with potato salad, definitely works -- it's not that far off french fries
With a finely cut salad (read: celery, tomatoes, rocket/kale/cabbage, and a shaved carrot, dressed lightly in olive oil and citrus juice), tomato ketchup turns the salad into a cold stew of sorts, and... it just works
Hot dogs and Burgers
rice
Mac n cheese
Even though I'll incur the wrath of all Italians I do like to put ketchup on my pasta when I don't have the time/energy/ingredients to make a proper sauce. Even better with shredded cheese.
Spaghetti and Swedish meatballs topped liberally with ketchup is a childhood staple food in Sweden. It's honestly not bad, highly inoffensive food, fit for picky eaters.
I still get that when I visit my Norwegian mother. Though she usually uses spirelli instead of spaghetti.
And of course the vastly superior Norwegian meatballs. ๐
I prefer spaghetti with ketchup and shredded cheese to ones with a bolognesse sauce.
So far I manage to hide from the Italian death squad.
make sure to break your spagehtti during cooking and cut them with a knife when eating
Duh. How else would I be able to eat them with a spoon?
You jest but:
I do a mixture of ketchup, mayo, garlic powder, onion powder, and msg, and slap that on cold cut sandwiches!
Corn dogs for sure. Fuckin' love me some corn dogs with ketchup.
I don't hate ketchup but there is always something else I would rather have including with fries.
As a hispanic person, ketchup on fried plantains was common for me growing up.
My eggs in the morning.
The night before I mix two eggs with a little milk and put it in a microwavable mug. Then microwave it for 30 seconds, stir and repeat twice. It creates a round slab of egg that I put on a piece of buttered toast with ketchup spread on it.
If you put them in a bowl, with a shot glass in the center, then microwave; you have an egg ready for a bagel

Cheeseburger.
The only food where ketchup is close to king is hamburgers. But Piri Piri and Heinz57 sauce are both better.
Ketchup is good on hot dogs along with mustard, but mustard is superior.
Actually, I thought of one: a Philly style steak sandwich.
Hawaii pizza.
And plain leftover rice along with mayo.
Haha ye old reddit fuck you
cheese sandwich
- Hot sauce
- Fried hotdogs and pink sauce (mayochup)
- Soy sauce is really good
- Cheese is a classic
- Spicy brown whole mustard
Fried chicken. Also try mixing ketchp and worcestershire sauce and dip your chicken in it before taking a bite.
