No WAY KIT!! Mayo is the king of kings for chippies!! And I'll be bringing some to Troon next week but don't worry, you won't have to eat it!!

As for vinegar...erm.....I'm kinda indifferent. But I don't use salt I use Aromat which is mucho nicer but doesn't bode well with chips. If there was an outright ban tho I'd have to save the malt stuff....but the clear stuff can dissapear forever for all I care!!

ketchup I can handle.

vinager seemed very odd to me when I was in the UK in January....but to each their own.

Let me have my ketchup and the vinager folks can keep their vinager.

And vanize? Ketchup may well have lots of vinager in it, but it's also got lots of tomato type stuff. biggrin

if you ban vinegar though, then ketchup must therefor go as well since it has vinegar in it - so all you'll be allowed is tomato paste on your fries!

Personally, I think they should do away with all ketchup, mayo, mustard (hasn't been mentioned yet, but it's just as bad), and I guess vinegar now too on stuff.

I don't mean places shouldn't provide these oddities, but they shouldn't mandatorily put them on hamburgers or fries (chips). I can't stand any of them, and it's a good chunk of the reason I refuse to eat at fast food places. It takes forever for them to make a burger without ketchup or some other nasty on it, and then when they do, they usually screw something else up with it as well. So bluck to them all!!!

Ah Yes, wise vanize, though, as I said, to each their own. Folks who want vinager should have access to it, and those of us who want ketchup (or catsup? or catchup?) should have access to that as well.

Ok...so...is it nap time yet?

ketchup=catsup=anything that sounds similar. It is all tomato paste (hopefully), vinegar, sugar and salt (sometimes no salt). the only real variations are the quality of the tomato paste and how much sugar or salt is used. For example, ketchup in south africa usually used more sugar and typically no salt - which I didn't care for much.

as far as I can tell, no. To be honest, I've not seen it called that in a while, but some folks call ketchup catsup and I have no clue why.

Mind you, Ketchup is an odd name considering it's tomato and vinager. Why not Vintom or tomvin or tomger or vinato?

ketchup
SYLLABICATION: ketch·up
PRONUNCIATION: AUDIO: kchp, kch- KEY
VARIANT FORMS: also catch·up (AUDIO: kchp, kch-) cat·sup (AUDIO: ktsp, AUDIO: kchp, kch-)
NOUN: A condiment consisting of a thick, smooth-textured, spicy sauce usually made from tomatoes.
ETYMOLOGY: Probably Malay kicap, fish sauce, possibly from Chinese (Cantonese) k-chap, equivalent to Chinese (Mandarin) qié, eggplant + Chinese (Mandarin) zh, sap, gravy.
WORD HISTORY: The word ketchup exemplifies the types of modifications that can take place in borrowing—both of words and substances. The source of our word ketchup may be the Malay word kchap, possibly taken into Malay from the Cantonese dialect of Chinese. Kchap, like ketchup, was a sauce, but one without tomatoes; rather, it contained fish brine, herbs, and spices. Sailors seem to have brought the sauce to Europe, where it was made with locally available ingredients such as the juice of mushrooms or walnuts. At some unknown point, when the juice of tomatoes was first used, ketchup as we know it was born. But it is important to realize that in the 18th and 19th centuries ketchup was a generic term for sauces whose only common ingredient was vinegar. The word is first recorded in English in 1690 in the form catchup, in 1711 in the form ketchup, and in 1730 in the form catsup. All three spelling variants of this foreign borrowing remain current.

Fries (or "chips" as you silly Brits call them) aren't really fries without the ketchup. It's like apple pie without apples or pizza without cheese. It's just... wrong.

watching people eat fries with mayo actually makes me wanna puke. It is mayo that we should be banning!!!



so if something is in pulp fiction it makes sense? Sorry, but I don't get your logic on that one...



Besides, ketchup and vinegar are fat free, unlike mayo (so what if the fries are dripping with fry vat lard anyway!)

Heinz brought out a limited edition green ketchup a year or 2. My impulsive house mate bought it one day. Wierd, it tasted exactly the same but looked disgusting. Beside being dark green it had this bizarre shine off it like high gloss paint or somthing :sicksmiley:

It was also produced in purple. Their marketing ploy was that kids would like the cool new colors and want to have some of it. It didn't exactly sell well even in the states. I've also seen blue and green squeezable butter marketed along those same lines - still yuck!

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

<---- been known to eat the pickled onions then sup the picklin' vinegar.

My god, and I thought I was picky! You can beat curly fries, softened up a bit with vinegar, then with squirts of the following around: Brown Sauce, Ketchup, Majonaise, English Mustard, or alternatively all of the above, mixed in together. Then you could have salt and sauce instead of those. Or even better butter some bread, then put the chips on and sprinkle vinegar over the whole lot, leaving you with a warm, moist chip butty.... Hmmmm. ubbloco

Mayo is discusting. My mum puts it on chips....*puke*
I had the purple ketchup once! It tasted the same put made a chip butty look rather disturbing......
You can't beat chips with a lil bit of salt and viniger on 'em. I didn't realise you could use viniger for anything else part from pickled eggs confused

and here's where it all comes crashing down...

Vanize dear, we live in Australia. We dont eat horrible KETCHUP.

We eat tomato sauce.

Which doesnt have vinegar in it

Because vinegar is evil.

It makes people screw up their faces, which while at first is just amusing, in long term affects, quite distressing.

It also makes the chips soggy and completely unappealing to the eater.

hence, I put my vote on the NON vinegar side of this arguement!

Thankyou for your time, thankyou thankyou.

No... thankyou!

Currently on the right side up of the world.

For a long while when I was a kid, my dad used to put extra vinegar in the ketchup bottle. He spoilt it for everyone!!!

It was a day for screaming at inanimate objects.

What this calls for is a special mix of psychology and extreme violence...
