Ketchup on canned tuna, yeah, I’ve done it. I’d rather have some mayo and sriracha on it, but it’s not that bad.
Ketchup on salad though, I can imagine it, I don’t remember if I’ve actually tried it, but unless we’re talking about sweet salads (like ones made out of condensed milk, all-purpose cream, canned fruit cocktail, gelatin cubes and the works), I don’t think it’s actually that hideous. Heck, I even think it’d go okay with something like potato salad!
with potato salad, definitely works – it’s not that far off french fries
With a finely cut salad (read: celery, tomatoes, rocket/kale/cabbage, and a shaved carrot, dressed lightly in olive oil and citrus juice), tomato ketchup turns the salad into a cold stew of sorts, and… it just works
i have so many spare sachets of ketchup from mcdonalds, and recently i’ve been experimenting with them to make a good sauce to mix into plain noodles. ketchup, sweet soy sauce, paprika, chili oil, chili flakes, toss in some random spices, and that’s a good noodle sauce.
before finding that combination, i’ve gotten quite a few that were way less palatable.
my alternate answer is spaghetti, just to piss off the italians.
Was at a cookout last weekend where I met a bunch of Italians. I just moved to CT where seafood pizza is apparently a thing so I had to ask them. Boooooy, did that ever get them started. And then I said I also like pineapple on my pizza.
There’s even a famous place here that serves chicken with banana ketchup by default, and fried sweet potato fries available as a side. And it’s actually a decent pairing!
