Scrambled Eggs and Ketchup

[rue]

That is definitely fare for a pregnant woman. It's sort of like pickles and ice cream.

I never had pickles and ice-cream.... now that would be gross :eeek:

I guess most people wouldn't like the English tradition of eating fries ('chips' in the uk): either covered in vinegar until they're soggy.....

I do

...and fries get mayo. The way God intended.

Or Fry Sauce if you're in Utah.

If you really want eggs that'll make you sit up and take notice, eat them with a brown sauce -- English "HP Sauce" if you can get it, or A-1 or Lea & Perrins Steak Sauce if you can't. Insist on it at your favorite diner.

Eggs and ketchup were key ingredients in a classic New England Golden Era lunch-counter item, the "Trilby" sandwich -- a fried egg and a thick slice of onion, doused in ketchup, and served on a bulkie roll. I can't eat the onion, but otherwise it's a tasty snack.

I guess most people wouldn't like the English tradition of eating fries ('chips' in the uk): either covered in vinegar until they're soggy, or with gravy and vinegar (in the north).
We also eat them covered in curry sauce.

Fries without vinegar? Unthinkable. When I was driving through some of the northern states a few years ago (Michigan, Minnesota, etc) I kept asking for vinegar in restaurants and I kept getting these strange looks ... and no vinegar. Culture shock! Next time I'll know to pack my own vinegar.

Scrambled eggs with ketchup? Nothing wrong with that either!

Burgers get mustard, meatloaf gets steak sauce, and fries get mayo. The way God intended.

Actuallly, I've been known to put both ketchup and mustard on my burgers; on either side of the bun......most meatloaf recipes call for ketchup as an ingredient, not as a condiment.........and I too am a fan of fries with mayo.....

Go north of the border into Canada and there will usually be a vinegar bottle on the table for French fries. You'll usually get asked if you want gravy for your fries. Anyone ever had poutine when visiting Canada? It's French fries and fresh cheese curds covered with brown gravy. It's delicious.

I ALWAYS have ketchup on my eggs. Drives my husband crazy, he says it makes him sick just to smell ketchup and eggs together..

I also always have ketchup on my hot dogs..which he also finds revolting..claims it's Un-American..(?)
which doesn't concern me.. as he is American whereas I , am not.

 

[Land-O-LakesGal]

I still occasionally like some ketchup on my scrambled eggs but I go for the salsa first if it is available.

I also like the gravy on my fries but not the vinegar. And when I was in the Midlands my friends taught me to like the mushy peas on my fish and chips.

Most Americans I know eat their hot dogs with ketchup. I know I like em that way with some onion and mustard too. Oh and some sweet pickle relish if you have some.

You're so right..vinegar is always available, and if they happen to have malt vinegar, all the better. And poutine is fabulous..how can you go wrong with fries, cheese & gravy?? Sometimes i even put vinegar on top of all that

I for one, don't eat ketchup on anything.

The curry sauce is foul, but chips & vinegar and /or gravy is lovely. And if it is onion vinegar so much the better!

I am also happy to eat chips with mayo in the Belgian fashion, or with ketchup.

Poutine is Quebec's greatest gift to world cuisine. I used to go to Montreal every fall, and I pretty much lived on the stuff when I was up there. I also make it myself when the urge strikes -- boil down some chicken stock, add a bit of flour and butter for body, some pepper for seasoning, and you've got the sauce. And we've got a cheese factory over in the next town where you can get fresh curds.

Hi

I've never seen or heard of Poutine before. From my limited experience, cheese curds are what's in cottage cheese. I find cottage cheese disgusting. How much like cottage cheese are cheese curds? I'm only grossed out by a few things, and cottage cheese is one.

Gag, I made my 1,000th post on Cottage Cheese. Blah.

If you really want eggs that'll make you sit up and take notice, eat them with a brown sauce -- English "HP Sauce"

My wife introduced me to HP and I love it! It is a staple condiment in our fridge along with tabasco sauce and spicy mustard.

With regards to the OP, ketchup and scrambled eggs are great. I tend to add hot sauce to my ketchup. Ask my wife and she'll tell you I add hot sauce to everything..

Dirty Harry said it best, in Sudden Impact: "Nobody, I mean nobody puts ketchup on a hot dog."
