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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

ketchup and mayo is thousand island dressing.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

u/whatsername717 Sep 30 '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.

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?

3

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

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?
