Ketchup is fucking disgusting

A proper hamburger or cheeseburger should never have ketchup. It dominates the flavor and all you taste is shit. If I want to get the tomato profile, I will put a fucking tomato on my burger and not some pasty, corn syrup, sugary sissy bullshit. Every burger place puts ketchup on the burger by default, so I have to always ask for no ketchup and have the chance of them fucking it up. You ketchup fuckers should have to ask for ketchup, not me.

Putting ketchup on steak should be a capital offense and you should be sent to a reeducation camp.

It's fat dumb people sauce. Its the keystone or natty light of sauce. Its putrid odor is reminiscent of filthy hooker perspiration. You can literally judge a person by how much ketchup they consume. Ketchup kills more people in America then terrorism and drugs, yet we don't have a War on Tomatoes. The world would be better without ketchup.

My father-in-law requests I smoke butts for him a couple times per year. I used to really spend time and money seasoning and rubbing them. Then when I discovered he was taking pounds of pulled pork and adding ketchup and barbecue sauce to the pan before making sandwiches, I stopped bothering. Now he just gets smoked meat...

Nothing wrong with saucing your sammiches a little bit. In fact I’d argue a great pulled pork sandwich has a little bit of source holding everything together nicely, and a little sweet, spicy tangy note to play of the crunchy bark pieces... mmmm now I’m hungry.

BBQ sauce often is a form of ketchup; a spicy sauce made chiefly from tomatoes and vinegar, used as a condiment.

The only proper sauce for a pulled pork sandwich is a vinegar-based hot sauce. I totally agree with you about red bbq sauces - it's a trash sauce for trash people. I grew up in Southeastern NC, I know about Pork BBQ and trash people. Also, while we're here, raw oysters shouldn't be eaten with cocktail sauce. If they're good oysters, just whip up a mignonette and jam out. Maybe some hot sauce, but only if you have a lot of oysters to eat. Cocktail sauce is a friend to fried seafood, but fried seafood is for fat trash people. Although I love fried foods, personally.

While I agree with the general sentiment that ketchup has no (direct) place at all in BBQ and only has marginal value with hamburgers...

It's pretty important that you like what you're putting in your mouth! And you know you better than I know you. It certainly isn't very fun to have someone essentially undo a lot of work and money, but I like to think of that as more of a miscommunication than an insult from either side. So if someone drowns the very expensive prime rib roast I cooked all day in ketchup, that's kinda on me for not checking in about their preferences first and also none of my damn business if their preference is non-ideal! I will simply strive to not repeat that incident :D

(As a guest, I do personally try to eat a meal as it has been presented, but that's just how I do things for myself. I feel like it's a way of showing respect for the other person's generosity.)

Your preference is an insult to my superior taste buds. I'm convinced people who believe condiments "mask flavor" have inferior taste buds or lack the mental capacity to perceive two things at once. I prefer steak and other meats without condiments, but I could care less if someone wants to add it to their meal. Hate these pompous chefs who feel offended when someone wants to add something they enjoy to a meal. If you were really cooking for them you wouldn't care, but you're cooking for you. You're cooking to bloat your own ego. Add A1 steak sauce, add ranch, add ketchup who cares. I also enjoy how this no condiment cult is reserved to select dishes of the culinarily conceited. You don't see people making delicious fried chicken caring? Or schnitzel or a multitude of other dishes that all have their own unique flavor profile and people can pour equivalent time into.

I mean on one hand yeah, but if someone is going out of their way to create an experience for you, I think it's fair to atleast try that experience out before you drastically change it.

OP spent alot of time trying to get a good balance of more subtle flavors. Ketchup is definitely not subtle, and would complete dominate those flavors and you wouldn't be able to taste them any more. At that point, OP could have spent 1/4 of the time making his pulled pork if he knew that's what the end result was going to be.

So adding ketchup literally wasted all of OPs time and effort, and is a bit of a slap in the face. It would be like someone baking you a cake, and you just letting it get stale on your counter before you try it. Sure some people might even like stale cake better, but it would invalidate all the effort that person put into making the cake moist.

Unless they made a single portion worth of pulled pork (which is unlikely), they're just changing the end product to suit their tastes and it's definitely something that can be different person to person. My father smoked a lot in his youth (which is why he requires more spice on his food, I think) he takes a lot of salt on his food and likes his meat well done and I accept that's what he enjoys because he'd know better than I would. It's actually quite sad to hear that there are people who take it so seriously on how people enjoy what they cook. They're just making themselves angry over something so petty.

Can confirm, his Stepdad gets up early, around 3am to prepare for smoking meat, there's some shaking, rubbing and patting involved. Come 4-5am the meat goes in for smoking and is constantly checked on to see how well his meat smoking his going. All in all, Stepdad spends ideally anywhere from 1-2 hours preparing to smoke some meat, and an additional 6-18 hours actually smoking meat, depending on the size and cut of the meat. Uncircumcised takes longer.

I would argue if the ketchup is dominating the flavor of the burger, then the burger is either shit, or has no seasoning whatsoever.

When I make my own burgers, I put in some smoked salt, pepper, and then some blue cheese crumbles. When putting the burger together, I add a light bit of ketchup and mayo, and i only get a small hint of the ketchup and mayo and mostly taste the burger.

EDIT: Just to add more, I use the sous-vide cooking method to make sure my burgers don't go above the level of done-ness that I want. Would highly recommend this to anyone. Makes getting burgers, steak, or anything else (you'd be surprised at how much you can cook with this method) to the exact temp/cook level that you like.

Hey, as a Midwesterner, I resent that. The baseline for good burgers are hand-formed patties rolled with salt and pepper (maybe some powdered onion or garlic), cheese applied on the grill so it properly melts, and steamed or toasted buns dressed with mayo, lettuce, ketchup, mustard, tomato, onion, and pickle.

Mess with the toppings if you want to get weird (I know some people like sauteed mushrooms, or guacamole, or fried egg, or whatever) but you don't go buying your patties pre-formed out of the freezer and calling it a quality burger.

To be fair, I find the kirkland patties acceptable enough for when I just want a few burgers for myself: but then I'm the traitorous bastard who likes ketchup only burgers and I don't even usually care enough to toast my buns.

Most burgers are boring and cheap - hence why so many places put lots of ketchup on them. I did this for a year: ordered all my burgers without ketchup. They all tasted really boring. The meat was almost always bland. :/

Plain meat, squashed flat until all the juice runs out, then grilled to a nice blackish-brown all the way through. That's my guess.

Yeah, I use my sous vide a lot but it would be absolutely wasted on a burger. I also disagree with the sentiment that you need to overload a burger with flavors to the point where it overpowers ketchup - a good burger should stand on its own. If I’m making burgers I generally just go for minced meat, salt, pepper, a bit of garlic and onion, and perhaps some cayenne or similar. None of those flavors should be overpowering though, they’re just there to enhance the flavor of the meat.

Wouldn’t go as far as to say the dude is wrong, but I’d definitely say we go for different types of burgers.

After you take it out of the bag, you still sear the outside over high heat either on a grill or a cast iron skillet (which ever is more convenient). It takes a lot of the guess work out of when you should pull it off the grill.

Growing up poor (well, more frugal then poor, never ate out, etc)/first generation immigrant, I seriously doubt my parents even knew the difference between ketchup and marinara. Keep in mind, ketchup is a primarily US invention. Got used to it as a kid.

So, clearly this is an unpopular opinion, but I think the downvotes are because you're being a humongous asshat about it and using exaggerations rather than actually articulating what you don't like about ketchup - the only specifics you give is the odor, and even that is drowned for comedic purposes.

I'd love to hear why someone earnestly doesn't like ketchup, rather than try to dig through this to try to find substance. Too tangy? Sweet? What brands have you tried? On what foods have you tried it?

I think it can be difficult to articulate why you don't like something if you go out of your way to avoid it. For me, the smell of ketchup makes me not eat it. There's a putrid, sweet, vinegary odour I'm just not fond of to the point that I can't wash dishes with ketchup on them.

I've presumably had all the major brands, but I don't think any style makes a difference. Pepper ketchup, Sriracha ketchup, etc all taste, but mostly smell, terrible. I genuinely wouldn't even be able to describe the taste of ketchup because it's been so long, but if you put a reasonable amount on a burger or something I don't think I'd even be able to tell.

Agreed, OP went for a pseudo comedic rant rather than actually articulating a point, which was just overwhelming to the subject of the post in the same way that OP claims ketchup overwhelms a dish. But if you use ketchup/comedic rant sparingly, then it can actually help enhance a dish/post.

However, I will say that explaining why you dislike a food is not always that easy. Sometimes you just don't like things. I actually hate ketchup as well. Any "reason" I don't like it is mostly subjective and arbitrary to my opinions, but it mostly just comes down to not liking the taste. The combination of ingredients simply doesn't taste good to me. I have had homemade ketchups that I thought were decent, but they were probably blurring the lines of what "ketchup" is.

Thanks for saying this. I immediately wished OPs eventual death somehow involves large amounts of ketchup because their vitriol is directed not at ketchup, but people who like it. First of all, assigning morality to a food that doesn’t involve animal/human flesh is pretty fucking ridiculous. Second, it’s just basic manners — don’t yuck my yum, making people feel bad about things they like is shitty.

I could call people names for liking cantaloupe (which I thinks smells like wet gym socks) but I have to acknowledge that I am not the arbiter of what is enjoyable, and I adjust appropriately. I rarely order fruit salad as a side with my breakfast because I know I will get four pieces of melon, maybe a chunk of pineapple, and a strawberry or some grapes, and it’s pointless to ask for no melons every damn time, because they’re going to taste like it anyway because it gets its* awful melon juice all over the other innocent fruit.

You see how I didn’t attack anyone who likes melons? For fuck’s sake.

Let me try. I love tomatoes. I hate ketchup.

Considering texture, how can a simple paste compare to a succulent body and firm skin? Tomatoes were already bred by geniuses to offer a perfected flavor. Why would you throw off its balance by sweetening it with sugar or corn syrup? If I were severely parched, a tomato would sacrifice itself to quench my thirst with its juicy goodness. Ketchup would only remind me of the real food that it’s impersonating and then its saltiness would only make me thirstier. Tomatoes are gloriously enigmatic; they qualify as both fruits and vegetables depending on whether you use a scientific or culinary classification. Despite what the USDA once claimed, ketchup is neither. It’s nothing more than a condiment.

Good tomatoes are appreciated for what they are. Bad tomatoes become ketchup.

Yeah but ketchup was never meant to replace tomatoes. Also, it originally wasn't meant to have any corn syrup. Its purpose is to balance the savory and salty flavors of meat with a little something sweet and tangy, and if made with natural ingredients it's very delicious. It's not ketchup's fault that Heinz and the fast food industry decided to label their corn syrup paste as ketchup, just because it looks similar when you add red food coloring.

I don't think ketchup is disgusting but I agree with some of the individual things you said.

A proper hamburger or cheeseburger should never have ketchup. It dominates the flavor and all you taste is shit.

Ketchup goes very well on hamburgers. Ground beef =/= steak. Ketchup and other sauces don't ruin it or take away from the natural flavor.

Putting ketchup on steak should be a capital offense and you should be sent to a reeducation camp.

Putting ketchup on steak is one of the dumbest things you can do(unless you ordered your steak well-done... which is also one of the dumbest things you can do), but you're radically exaggerating.

It's fat dumb people sauce. Its the keystone or natty light of sauce.

I somewhat agree.

Its putrid odor is reminiscent of filthy hooker perspiration. You can literally judge a person by how much ketchup they consume. Ketchup kills more people in America then terrorism and drugs, yet we don't have a War on Tomatoes.

Honestly, I agree with you with most of this, but I can’t stand people telling other people how to eat their food. And what I mean is steak. Who cares if someone else likes their steak a different way than you? I like mine medium, but idc if someone else wants theirs charred and overdone. Let them eat what they enjoy. Fucks sake.

This is unnecessarily aggressive. It's ketchup dude. If ketchup gets you that worked up, I'd hate to see how you react to an actual problem in your life. Also this is r/unpopularopinion. You're supposed to give your opinion and explain why you feel the way you feel about it. Not call anyone who disagrees with you fat and dumb (which is a blatant breaking of rule 5 and maybe even rule 7 depending on what they mean exactly by "No Hate" and "hostile, rude and aggressive behavior").

I vehemently disagree as ketchup contains all the basic chemical components needed to enhance flavor (salt, glutamate, and sugar) therefore this is a true unpopular opinion and I give you my upvote.

Now slathering something in ketchup certainly ruins it, but a light spread on a burger only serves to enhance the flavor-especially if it’s a cheaper cut of meat.

And more often than not it’s slathered on to excessive degrees, so now I’m unable to really stomach the stuff. I don’t really use any of the other sauces unless I’m at a barbecue and the burger is really dry or burnt

As to ketchup/catsup in particular, it seems to be an item enjoyed by billions in vast amounts.

Ketchup is not a sauce, it's a condiment. If you drown a hot dog in relish it will suck too, but everyone likes pickles right? Use can use Ketchup to make a sauce, or you can use it as intended which is just as a complimentary flavor. If your using so much you can't taste the burger, just pour a glass of Ketchup and stop the charade. The issue is not with Ketchup, its a user error.
