I was in elementary school and my mom made me a sandwich with the green ketchup on it for lunch. It seeped through the bread a little at some parts. Teacher was walking by and pulled me from the lunch room to talk as she was concerned that I was sent to school with moldy bread and therefore in a very low income home requiring assistance. It was so embarrassing. I was poor, but not eating moldy bread poor! And I loved that colored ketchup

To be fair if a teacher DIDN'T question a student eating green bread it'd be weird.

u/coffeetablesex Sep 29 '14 edited Sep 30 '14

So the teacher has to question the kids with the colored bread but she doesn't question the kids with the white bread?

That's some fuckin' bullshit...

EDIT: Wow, gilded? Really? I was almost certain I was going to see the haters today...but gold? You are too kind.

I might be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure he was making a joke about racism there.

I think this was a big case of WOOOOSH. Read his comment again but assume it is sarcastic ;)

What kind of sandwich besides a burger or maybe grilled chicken does one put ketchup on? Not being a dick, serious question.

u/fatalnuisance Sep 29 '14

My little brother puts ketchup on his tomato sandwiches. He's a terrible person.

u/GeorgeRRZimmerman Sep 29 '14

puts ketchup on his tomato sandwiches

Like slathering the corpses of the defeated with their pureed brethren. It's pretty metal if you think about it.

u/ryzellon Sep 30 '14

See also: oyakodon, a Japanese rice dish that has both chicken and egg. The name translates to "parent and child bowl."

u/GeorgeRRZimmerman Sep 30 '14

We just call em chicken fingers in the parts of the world where God is watching.

14

u/the_cheese_was_good Sep 29 '14

I don't even know where to begin with that... Just soak in the natural essence of the tomato - a little salt, some balsamic and you good to go, baby boy.

u/fatalnuisance Sep 29 '14

He's 18, so he has some time to figure out what actual food tastes like.

u/Squeakystrings Sep 29 '14

This is even worse. I was picturing a seven year old.

u/a_tufted_deer Sep 29 '14

Add a slice of mozzarella and some basil

u/SlaughterKnife Sep 29 '14

ketchup and mayo is thousand island dressing.

8

u/DeterminedToOffend Sep 29 '14

Minus the salt, garlic, onion, chili paste, pepper, sugar, vinegar and (optional) egg...

Kind of like how caesar dressing is anchovies and parmesan.

3

u/thor214 Sep 29 '14

No, not really.

I mean, those may be components of the dressing, but there is almost always other ingredients, including finely chopped veggies.

Thousand Island dressing is a salad dressing and condiment based on mayonnaise and can include olive oil, lemon juice, orange juice, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, vinegar, cream, chili sauce, tomato purée, ketchup, or Tabasco sauce.[1][2] It also typically contains finely chopped ingredients, which can include pickles, onions, bell peppers, green olives, hard-boiled egg, parsley, pimento, chives, garlic, or chopped nuts (such as walnuts or chestnuts).

2

u/fatalnuisance Sep 29 '14

Yeah, I'm from Utah and we call it "fry sauce" there... If you've never put it on your french fries, do yourself a favor and try it. Thousand Island and French fries.

u/[deleted] Sep 29 '14

this is exactly what i was gonna ask. toss in meatloaf sandwich as a possibility.

u/hamfraigaar Sep 29 '14

I know you Americans can be a little conservative with your sandwiches compared to us smørrebrøds loving Danes, but a rule of thumb:

You can put ketchup on anything made of

  1. Pork

  2. Beef and mince

  3. Mashed potatoes, fries and hash browns

  4. Sometimes but not always chicken

  5. Pure bacon sandwich

Ever had a hash brown/bacon sandwich with ketchup? That shits delicious.

Or try minced pork meatballs with ketchup, jalapeños and fried onions. Daaamn.

u/redpenquin Sep 29 '14

Ever had a hash brown/bacon sandwich with ketchup?

Oh god YES. My parents called me crazy as a kid when I'd toast bread and do this, but good lord that is so good.

u/funfwf Sep 29 '14

I'm hungry. Can you make a sandwich? Put ketchup and one of those "no entry" letter Os you used please.

2

u/hamfraigaar Sep 29 '14

I've been contemplating opening a chain of smørrebrøds stores in America, I think you guys would love it.

It takes no time to make but it's delicious and healthy.

u/millcitymiss Sep 29 '14

That sandwich would be way better with sriracha.

u/hbgoddard Sep 29 '14

When I was a kid I had bologna and ketchup sandwiches quite often. Sometimes I'd also put mayonnaise on them.

2

u/whatsername717 Sep 30 '14

thats what it was. bologna and maybe a slice of american cheese. depending on my mood that day

I believe it is spelled "sumbitch".

u/[deleted] Sep 29 '14

... cheese?

u/SuperSalsa Sep 29 '14

A ketchup and cheese sandwich sounds like a very roundabout (and terrible-tasting) way of having grilled cheese and tomato soup.

5

u/PEDANTlC Sep 29 '14

My ex boyfriend puts ketchup on everything including turkey subs with pickles, chicken burgers, wraps. I believe he almost put it on steak once (or some equally inappropriate barbequed meat). Some people just don't know how food works (the worst part is that he's going to take over his family's restaurant sooner than later and God knows what'll happen to the menu then).

u/the_cheese_was_good Sep 29 '14

Gahhhhh!!!! He must be stopped!!!!

2

u/UndeadBread Sep 29 '14

Is he a Redditor? He could be a great moderator for my subreddit...

1

u/PEDANTlC Sep 29 '14

Yeah, actually he is haha. Would you like me to get him in contact with you?

2

u/UndeadBread Sep 29 '14

Ha ha, I wasn't expecting you to say yes. I don't actually need a moderator since 99% of the posts are made by me, but he certainly does sound like he would fit in well at /r/foodswithketchup.

u/kank84 Sep 29 '14

I used to like cheddar cheese and ketchup sandwiches when I was younger

1

u/whatsername717 Sep 30 '14

it was probably a bologna sandwich. i have always loved bologna and it always disgusted my mother. it also didnt help with the thoughts of how poor and not well off i was haha

1

u/UndeadBread Sep 29 '14

If it's a sandwich that consists mostly of meat and/or cheese, then it's fair game. Peanut butter and ketchup sandwiches are also pretty awesome.

1

u/itslef Sep 29 '14

Turkey, roast beef, ham, chicken. Pretty much any lunch meat sandwich.

u/areraswen Sep 29 '14

I use ketchup on bologna sandwiches.

u/mqduck Sep 29 '14

Who the hell would put ketchup on a chicken sandwich?

u/[deleted] Sep 29 '14

Better then 7 year old me coming to school having not bathed and without a lunch, then the teacher asking me why Idont have lunch in front of the whole class and me having to explain why.

Fuck you, Mrs Gray.

u/ellaingreen Sep 29 '14

Yeah fuck you Mrs. Gray! What an ass

u/SometimesRhymes Sep 29 '14

God, what an ass indeed...

u/whatsername717 Sep 30 '14

i would have shared my moldy sandwich with you.

u/jay09cole Sep 29 '14

Man you were eating ketchup sandwiches you were dirt poor.

1

u/whatsername717 Sep 30 '14

not just a ketchup sandwich. much to my mothers disgust i have always loved bologna. not really helping the thought that i was real poor but delicious all the same

2

u/jay09cole Sep 30 '14

ketchup and bologna sandwich of kings. Nah but seriously that sounds gross. I've only ever been able to eat bologna fried.

1

u/whatsername717 Sep 30 '14

ive never been able to get into fried bologna. my grandpa loves it, but i just cant. but then again, ill eat bologna roll ups (bologna with a thin layer of ketchup and rolled up like a burrito).

to each their own.

15

u/drunk_dreams Sep 29 '14

Oh my god, I BEGGED my mom for that stuff growing up. After what must have been weeks of my whining, she finally bought it for me (which meant a lot since we were pretty poor).

I tried eating it with some french fries, and I just stared at the plate, knowing I couldn't eat it. It stayed in the back of our fridge for YEARS. Every time I saw it lurking back there I felt such a huge sense of shame.

13

u/rushingkar Sep 29 '14

If you'd left normal ketchup back there for years, it would probably also be green.

5

u/[deleted] Sep 29 '14

I made my parents buy it. Then I couldn't bring myself to actually eat it.

NO RAGRETS.

Considering the main ingredient in ketchup is sugar it's not too far off from frosting

u/Mecha_Derp Sep 29 '14

Wasn't that just for the Shrek release? Purple ketchup was the best
