Am I the only one who does not like this ?
Do you like it ?
What do you like it with ?
Do you only like a certain brand ?
I see people have it on all sorts of meals ...... Why would you have it on a Sunday Roast :eek: - it would spoil your dinner ??
Are you a ketchup addict ?
Or do you dislike it like myself ?
Angel xx
No I love it but only on certain things like anything with chips certainly not a sunday roast
has to be heinz like the advert says, nothing else is nice enough

I am not a big fan although i don't mind it with fish and chips.
What really winds me up is when certain people put tomato ketchup and brown sauce (and not a small amount) on something like a stew. I tried it and it did not taste nice. :(
Some people have strange taste buds....x

I hate it when I see people use it and its all dried up round the top of the bottle from days or weeks before - yuk yuk yuk yuk :eek: :eek: . Why not clean the top of the bottle ?

I'm not keen either (yet I love tomatoes?!!) - I only occasionally have ketchup with a meal if I'm in the mood for it!
I do sometimes toast a piece of bread under the grill, then turn it over spread it with ketchup, sliced tomato and mozarella cheese and then put it back under the grill until the cheese has melted. It's really nice!
My son would have ketchup with absolutely everything and that includes a roast if we allowed him to!!

I can't stand it and never have. I really can't understand why some people insist on having it with every meal. Hx

one of my pet hates too and the lid is constantly being washed which drives hubby mad as then it doesnt get put back on tightly and squishes out when the bottle is squeezed

I only have it when we have sausages, peas and homemade mac chese for dinner. Otherwise NO :panic:
DS,14, is the ketchup king - won't eat veg without it or anything else actually - except pizza, but then it is tomato based. But he won't eat tomatoes :rolleyes:
Why ruin a bacon sandwich with it?

I can't stand it.
My OHs family all have sauces with every meal- we have loads in the cupboard and fridge- ketchup, mayo, salad cream, brown sauce, fruity sauce, tartar sauce etc. And they have pepper on everything too. The only one I like is mayo and I only have it with chips yet we have to store all this for OH! DS seems to be going the same way and I hate it, its all so unneccessary!

Hubby eats lot of tomato and brown sauce. I cant stand brown sauce, but do very occasionally have tomato on fish and chips, but I have to really fancy it. I used to make myself fish finger sarnies sometimes and they need tomato sauce too

A bacon sandwich is not a bacon sandwich without ketchup :laughing:
My hubby hates the stuff - he was sick as a child (car sick I think!) after eating it and has never touched it since!!

I prefer HP sauce. Just had it on my refried roast dinner :D
2 of my kids love ketchup. It is really good for boys, esp those who won't eat fruit/veg, as it contains high content of lycopene which is excellent for preventing prostate cancer in later years.

we also have a fridge full of pickles mustards and sauces, and have an accompaniement with every meal, some can be very strange but yummy like horseradish with risotto our ds doesn't like pickles but the girls do dd2 current fave is the chilli jam i bought hubby for Christmas

also i have a new mindee who eats it with everything, plans to tone that down. - re healthy eating, not cause i dont like it. :)

Isn't it funny how things like this put you off!!

Yuck, can't stand the stuff. One of my mindees asks for it with every meal (and doesn't get it!)

Nice on fish and chips, but I really hate it when there is a large dollop left on the plate and I have to wash up :mad:

I cant stand it, hate even the smell of it. Both my children love it, DD would have it with everything if I let her. I actually think I heard somewhere that it was quite good for you???? Or did I dream that :blush: .
I love brown sauce myself but only really have it on a bacon sarnie.

NO! I can't stand the look or smell of it! and I can't stand mayo or HP or anything like it. The LO's here have never been offered it or asked for it. Got new one starting on friday and his mum says he has it on everything. I'll be telling him I haven't got any
