The ketchup crisis

[Revoltingest]

They're worse than bacon. At least bacon has taste. Tater Tots are not food but something else that's bad for you.

I guess they don't appeal to canine posters.
They potato & onion....yum!

They're very close to "MEALS" from Good Omens

"CHOW^TM contained spun, plaited, and woven protein molecules, capped and coded, carefully designed to be ignored by even the most ravenous digestive tract enzymes; no-cal sweeteners; mineral oils replacing vegetable oils; fibrous materials, colorings, and flavorings. The end result was a foodstuff almost indistinguishable from any other except for two things... the nutritional content, which was roughly equivalent to that of a Sony Walkman. [...]

MEALS^TM was CHOW^TM with added sugar and fat. The theory was that if you ate enough MEALS^TM you would a) get very fat, and b) die of malnutrition."

I pity the food snob, who cannot enjoy pedestrian fare.

I prefer real food not mass produced. As to Tater Tots having onion - dehyrated onion is very low on the ingredient list., They are potatoes and oil mostly.

Potatoes, vegetable oil (sunflower, cottonseed, soybean and/or canola), salt, yellow corn flour, dextrose, disodium dihydrogen pyrophosphate (to retain natural color), dehydrated onion, sodium sulfate, natural flavoring.

Very tasty oil & dried onions.

It sounds so good when you put it that way.
Poor food snobs.....
Do you ceremoniously hold your pinky out

Of course we do after a meal of thai/indian/burmese/mexican/african California Cuisine.

We leave eating out of a trough for people who like Haggis and Tater Tots.

I have all those foods here, & more.
Do you live in a food desert?

Your California Cuisine is not real California Cuisine.

Maybe you are a smoker? Hunts is of course the better brand.

That is something I must do one of these days. Compare the different brands. I'm bad with that stuff. I like ketchup, though, and often combine it with mustard. Yummy, for me, at least, as a flavoring for salads and other things.

 

[Stevicus]

Salsa is better than ketchup.

Why, this salsa was made in New York City!

The really good stuff isn't that.

I tend to agree. But I wouldn't even want ketchup made in New York City.

 

[Shaul]

Here in South Africa we have Tomato Sauce. Is that the same as ketchup?

Absolutely not!

 

[Stevicus]

Considering the shortage, I'm wondering if they'll be able to catch up to demand.

 

[Subduction Zone]

And Hunts held out for quite a few years. They use to be catsup. Not ketchup.

 

[Shaul]

Ketchup shortage right after Biden takes office. Coincidence?

 

[Estro Felino]

I prefer mayonnaise, in the Belgian style (though I put a bit of garlic in mine, when I make it).

Indeed. Chacun à son goût.
I was saying...French fries without ketchup/mayonnaise are not French fries.
Personnally I only like mayonnaise when I prepare Russian salad.

Might be, but I've never found anything better for salads than olive oil and either lemon juice or balsamic vinegar; add some fresh herbs and it's just delicious and fresh. I love the Mediterranean cuisine.

 

[Secret Chief]

There is also a shortage of mayonnaise, so there is a real danger of the US entering a double-dip recession.

 

[Brickjectivity]

The Food Bureau suspects the manufacturers of Ranch salad dressing may be behind the shortages. They have the most to gain from either a ketchup or mayonnaise shortage.
