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.)
Hmmm, I assume the usual hamburger/hotdog isn't what you're looking for.
I think the least common thing I put ketchup on is kraft mac n cheese. Don't do it every time, but every now and then, when I'm having the standard, package only mac n cheese, I'll put a dab on there.
Can't use much, or it sucks. But the kind of amount you might drop as you're taking a bite of something else, that works great. That's how I found out I liked it, back as a kid.
I will put ketchup on mac & cheese, of any kind, no matter how old your grandmother's recipe is. did it right in front of my Italian potential mother-in-law too, there are certain things that have to be established early in the relationship.
I've upgraded from ketchup on my mac and cheese (we call it Kraft Dinner here in Canada) to using Bullseye barbeque sauce. Adds a little bit more flavour.
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.
I've been using a pair of scissors to cut my spagetti, a knife would probably be way easier to clean. Thanks for the tip, I'll let everyone know how it goes!
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.
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
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.

Yuk. That would be cold and soggy by the next morning lol
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 “yum this is so delicious.” Then he got up, walked to the fridge, grabbed the ketchup, and squeezed it all over the pasta and sauce.
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!
Chicago dogs are their own thing, though. The rest of the ingredients other than the mustard have a combined flavor profile similar to ketchup: ketchup is basically a poor man Chicago dog.
Also, their poppy sees hot dog buns are a weird pick.
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.
I used to mix it in with fried rice that'd been left sitting out for too long and turned really dry. Gives it some moisture and a vinegary edge, but probably not for everyone, since ketchup's trademark is stomping all over the subtle flavors of a dish.
When I was in elementary school, I'd dip my pizza crusts in ketchup at lunchtime. I still do that every now and then with Sriracha ketchup
Also, same elementary school lunch: on pizza days, they also used to give us a side of tricolor fusilli straight-up. Just plain pasta without even so much as a little olive oil. So, fuck it. It got blasted with 'chup.
There is like a 50% hit rate on reading comprehension of your 11-word question.
What type of food, without the answer being fries, do you find is complimented by ketchup.
Which tomato-based condiment base is most delictable when said condiment is added to the base, where such a base is not potato fries based?
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.
Ketchup is the superior sauce for potatoes.
Mayo and butter
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.
Nipples
hashbrowns
That's just shredded fries!

Have you tried salsa? That's my favorite thing to put on any mac & cheese.
I've upgraded from ketchup on my mac and cheese (we call it Kraft Dinner here in Canada) to using Bullseye barbeque sauce. Adds a little bit more flavour.
I've done it with bbq sauce before, and I ain't mad at it, but it doesn't work the same way for me.
I'm not alone in the world!
Hard poached eggs topped with cheddar cheese.
I also use ketchup as an additive in cabbage rolls, sloppy joes, or chili, barbecue sauce.
Meat loaf, Japanese omelet rice.
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.
make sure to break your spagehtti during cooking and cut them with a knife when eating
I've been using a pair of scissors to cut my spagetti, a knife would probably be way easier to clean. Thanks for the tip, I'll let everyone know how it goes!
Duh. How else would I be able to eat them with a spoon?
You jest but:
And add lots of cream
I think that's just SpaghettiOs
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. 😋
Why not just buy sauce and keep it for when you don't feel like making it
Then I have good sauce. So I will eat it. Until it is gone. Then I eat ketchup.
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.
scrambled eggs
Meatloaf!
Real answer:
What the fuck
Just try it
no
I will report this to OP

That's a long URL just to say you want to out ketchup on spiderman
Thousand Island dressing is ketchup and mayo isn't it?

Eggs! And omurice. And fried rice with a lot of egg.
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
Yuk. That would be cold and soggy by the next morning lol
Pretty sure they cook them in the morning
Damn straight
I don't get it. What's the point of doing any of that the night before?
Saves time in the morning as opposed to the evening. Like only a minute or two but any time I can save in the morning I'll take.
Your mother was cold and soggy by the next morning too
I don't hate ketchup but there is always something else I would rather have including with fries.
Hot dogs.
As a hispanic person, ketchup on fried plantains was common for me growing up.
Cheeseburger.
that's interesting. adding something that salty to something that salty lol
Mac n cheese
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 “yum this is so delicious.” Then he got up, walked to the fridge, grabbed the ketchup, and squeezed it all over the pasta and sauce.
Corn dogs for sure. Fuckin' love me some corn dogs with ketchup.
Mustard is the classier option
Who is raising their pinky finger while they are eating corn dogs?
Uh oh...
Goldfish
Kraft Dinner 🇨🇦
Fried chicken. Also try mixing ketchp and worcestershire sauce and dip your chicken in it before taking a bite.
We mix ketchup and Worcestershire and put it on meatloaf. And then we make more to dip the meatloaf in while eating.
Sausage gravy. Sprinkle some dots of ketchup on it and it's tangy savory good.
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!
On Fire.
The stuff stinks. If the devil has blood it would be tomato sauce.
Hot dogs, hamburgers, eggs
My weird one, least Mac and cheese
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.
rice
Hash browns
Hot dogs and Burgers
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.
I put Sriracha on my philly cheese steaks. it's the only thing I put it on regularly these days
I’ve never been the hugest Sriracha fan. Sriracha paste is better than the sauce, but I’d rather do any other hot sauce.
Chicago would like a word with you...
...alone...
...In a dark alley...
Chicago dogs are their own thing, though. The rest of the ingredients other than the mustard have a combined flavor profile similar to ketchup: ketchup is basically a poor man Chicago dog.
Also, their poppy sees hot dog buns are a weird pick.
Tater tots
cheese sandwich
Mix ketchup with either sour cream or mayo and put it on my eggs
Spaghetti when I want to upset Italians. Truth is it's pretty good
I think you might have misread the question
Ah yep yes I did
I do a mixture of ketchup, mayo, garlic powder, onion powder, and msg, and slap that on cold cut sandwiches!
I don't like ketchup, myself, but when I make wings my daughter has me baste hers with ketchup.
Ketchup wings is diabolical
well that's interesting.
Fresh used napkin and tissue squeezings. Bonus points if the user had a cold.
Plain Rice and Spaghetti Ezine Cheese (Turkish white) sandwich
Nar is the cheese you want to put on spaghetti, not ezine. It's at least similar to parmejan
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.

did you mean to leave a blank comment
I did not mean to leave any comment. Not sure what happened there.
Pizza.
Not me, but my girlfriend's son (7) loves it on corn on the cob.
Roiskeläppä
that was a very interesting google thank you
Providing the real answer.
Bacon. Chips. Steak and kidney pie.
Hawaii pizza.
And plain leftover rice along with mayo.
Macaroni casserole and hot dog
Hmm, I put ketchup on scrambled eggs in the morning.
Hotdogs or eggs.
I used to mix it in with fried rice that'd been left sitting out for too long and turned really dry. Gives it some moisture and a vinegary edge, but probably not for everyone, since ketchup's trademark is stomping all over the subtle flavors of a dish.

that first one made me cringe a little, but anybody who can reactivate cold fried rice can do whatever they want
Pasta
Hotdogs, hamburgers, I like a little Shepherd's pie with my ketchup, tourtière (Quebec mince pie).
Haha ye old reddit fuck you
Mayo. But honestly I don't eat it for the fries, I would chug mayo if I could
Wait you didn't change the question did you?? I certainly read that wrong..
For the answer: nothing, ketchup sucks
Samurai Sauce. Kinda like flavored mayonnaise.
Mustard. Mustard. Mustard.
Ketchup and fries isn't even that good. Mustard and fries is where it's at.
Ranch
you put ketchup on your ranch?
LMAO reading mistake.. I thought it was about putting something else in the fries instead ketchup.
There is another thread for that question, actually.
Maybe that's why I got confused..
