This should be the exception to the "no cruel and unusual punishment" rule

Some places have mayo, why no ketchup?

Can you drop me your home address? I just want to talk real quick

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !foodcrimes@midwest.social

I’ve seen this in real life.
We were having a company dinner at a REALLY fancy place. They were advertisers in our paper. So, the chef had prepared a nice six course meal for the group.
Some colleagues are definitely more McD’s guests rather than fancy restaurants.
Three courses in, here comes a steak and gourmet fries to garnish. Colleague goes hog wild, dumps a bunch of fries on his plate and waves over the waitress. “Hey, do you have a bottle of ketchup? For on the steak?” The look she gave him was one of utter shock. “I, uh, wow, uhm… I’ll check”.
She eventually came back with a bottle, but I was sure the chef would have chased my colleague around with a kitchen knife if he’d heard of the request. That dude was intense.

REALLY fancy place
Steak and fries
🤨
-
There are "fancy" (and of course expensive) places that specialise in high end cuts of meat - that serve fries as a standard side option.
-
Steak and fries is a restaurant staple, even if you go really expensive. This place serves 200 euro plus Wagyu cuts, for reference. And it was sublime.
The fries were ‘gourmet’ fries. Basically, you get like a ramekin of fries, which are mostly meant as garnish. It’s not like a full plate of fries.
My colleague liked them so much he did ask for extra fries, which got a mild frown from the waitress.

It's different if you're choosing to go somewhere fancy and pay for something expensive and then negate the fanciness, but for a free work meal I'm going to give your colleague the benefit of the doubt and assume they know what they like. Don't gatekeep food, who gives a shit what other people like?
-
Oh don’t get me wrong, it was wildly entertaining. I’m more of a cheap pizza guy anyway. Our other work dinners were at a local steak restaurant which was much more everyone’s vibe.
Still, it was hilarious to see someone order ketchup with a 200 euro wagyu cut, prior to having tasted the thing. (Pure perfection, best steak ever)

Oh fuuuuuuck you

It's a terrible day to have eyes.
-
Deserved revenge for the fact that the Japanese put ketchup in spaghetti.
-
Have an extremely angry upvote. I don't even like raw fish and this pisses me off. And I'm also craving an eel roll. Anyone know a good sushi restaurant in Minneapolis?
-
Don't know any sushi place in Minneapolis that has ketchup 0/10
-
I think I knew one in 2003
-
-
This one does not spark joy.
-
Right you are, Marie Condiment!

-
I will murder you in real life

That gives me an idea for an invention. Hollow chopsticks so you can pump ketchup onto your sushi as you eat it. You could even stab it into it and do a ketchup injection!
I wonder if wasabi ketchup is a thing...
-
Wasabi ketchup would just be DIY shrimp cocktail sauce with a green tint.
-
I actually have both wasabi and ketchup. I can try making some.
-
For science!
-
-
I think we already have it, it call straw. You can use iron straw as chopsticks
-
I've seen ketchup injected fries before.

You will die alone and forgotten, disgraced by history. 13 curses upon you.

13 is my lucky number!

That's nothing. I know a girl that asked a waiter to heat up her salmorejo in a microwave. The waiter said no. It wasn't even a fancy place, just a normal bar. There are some things you just don't do.

🤢🤢🤢🤮

This person is going to be on the news some day, sliced in half by a katana-wielding chef.
-
also works with pizza restaurants in Italy
-
And steakhouses in Texas also love this trick!
-
-
See, while this might be considered not-done, I think they get to decide how they like to eat their food. Even if it offends the rest of us greatly (which it does).
-
While true. God help them if the chef sees.
-
-
-
That's the only thing that matters, honestly!
-
-
The verdict is death.
-
Not until the diabetes kicks in
-
-
I like the ones on the left with the BBQ sauce on it.
-
That's probably eel sauce. Some sushi rolls are prepped with that stuff
-
-
Should've used catsup instead.
-
That could lead to quite the conundrum
-
-
NO
-
You know what? Fuck it, 6 more years of 2020.
-
Did that guy from bash.org ever created that device?
-
You are in mortal danger
-
Perfection.
-
Finally, someone gets it!
-

Meh...
I mean most sweet and sour sauces are primarily a fruit, sugar, vinegar and a thickener... which pretty similar to ketchup. And those are considered okay to put on sushi.
-
Sweet and sour sauce? No.
-
I would honestly put ketchup in sushi before I put sweet and sour sauce in there. And I wouldn't.
-
A regular tare sauce has sugar in it, and you can find the sweeter version (amadare) at sushi places. However, it's really only used for the eel (anago).
But I mean they make a ketchup spaghetti in Japan so if someone wants to talk about fucking with traditional dishes...
-
-
No, they aren't? Where?
I mean, obviously you put whatever you want on yours no matter how much of a blatant crime against the universe it is, but "traditionally" that's not a thing. Takeaway shops do love their chili mayo though.

Thats a take away box. You're safely at home and not in a public place, soon to be beaten to death.
I just like eating from a takeaway box. The environmental impact makes me happy inside.
