So it’s not even proper hot dog flavor, since ketchup doesn’t belong on a hot dog.
My most sincere apologies, but WHAT DID YOU SAY?
Not who you're replying to but....I didn't think I liked hot dogs until I ate a Chicago hot dog and realized it was just the ketchup making it slimy and sweet. Ketchup on hotdogs is nasty lol
Sweet?!
So I just had a look into it and apparently American tomato ketchup is one third sugar (corn syrup, obviously...). Ketchup is supposed to be savory, America; why do you do this?
Well, they also invented the hot dog lol
I've had a lot of different ketchups and don't really like any of them. The consistency is too slimy for me
Germany would like a quiet word with you. There's a reason they're called weiners and frankfurters.
Yeah because a German immigrant invented it after moving to New York lol
I'm not claiming the US invented sausage!
Vienna is in Austria.
I think it's the same here in Canada as I find most regular ketchup (especially Heinz) sickly sweet. I actually buy a no sugar added variant that's much better to me. It tastes more like tomato-infused vinegar.
Look in the "ethnic" or "imported" food aisles, the HP sauce in the little glass bottles. If you were a kid in the 80s or 90s, you might well have been raised on English HP, not Canadian. They are similar but not the same at all, it took me back right to grade three when i bought the import accidentally. It's all white vinegar and orange juice concentrate in the bullshit canadian version, vs malt vinegar and rye flour and fermented fish paste stuff. Anyways, I don;t know why these companies are happy to change a recipe where everyone in the fucking country has it on their table, and then a few years later, like no one buys it anymore and over time we even forget why it was so popular to begin with.
Yeah no i haven't ate ketchup in years, or Coke. Coke in particular I remember when they changed the recipe, spring 2016 i opened a new box of coke and "What the fucking hell?" get on google they had switched western canada off beet sugar to HFCS. Have not bought it since. Canada Dry ginger ale is hit and miss now, if I buy bulk in AB at a Walmart it's usually sickly sweet HFCS but if i buy a 12 pack in Saskatchewan it's sugar
I…just realized that I don’t know what ketchup is supposed to taste like.
It's almost like heinz now but not. People don't write scientific articles on why heinz ketchup addicts people anymore.
I knew it had to be somebody from Chicago :(
Chicago has an amazing food scene
I have seen what they do to pizzas. I don't need to see anything else.
I don't run a Chicago restaurant so I didn't care enough to convince you but boy are you missing out on a lot of great food
One slice of deep dish is delicious though. Wouldn't want any more than that
Bro it's a quiche
Bro it tastes good
Do you also boycott chicken fried rice because a chicken didn't fry it?
If somebody makes a quiche out of a fried rice, I ain't eating it.
Having a chicken nuggy palate is not something to be proud of lol that sounds like it could be delicious to me
