Title: Tomato sauce or ketchup?

Depends on

- your taste
- the dish you are adding it to
- the quality of the product in question

In the USA, ketchup is a major condiment.  Very common on hamburgers and a dip for french fries.  Tomato sauce is used to make other things so it is more of a cooking ingredient.

Ketchup has a ton of sugar in it too. I've been trying some of the Heinz "limited edition" varieties. The jalapeno and balsamic are quite good.

Mate only a savage would use tomato sauce over ketchup as a condiment. Even worse would be mayonnaise. Mayo has its uses but to drag something like french fries thru it is so Neanderthal it defies the senses. Tomato sauce belongs in spaghetti sauce and thats about it.

My absolute favorite part of that whole bit is the, "Have you tried chipotle? ...It's pretty good."  Not the BEST THING EVER, just pretty good.

Ketchipotle intrigues me...  Must see if I can locate that item.

On fries, Heinz ketchup.  Not sure if I've just been brainwashed but it's the only one that tastes 'right'.

You can add things like garlic, dehydrated onions, cayenne....and come up with something AWESOME.

They are not really comparable
Tomato sauce is really good
Ketchup is good too because of the vinegar and such, it's tangy. But it's also usually got a lot of sugar in it, especially like Heinz
But they're not interchangeable on most things
Ketchup on pasta would be awful, I can't even imagine.
Tomato sauce on a burger could potentially work, but you just need a more acidic/bitter flavor than that from something. Better to use a tomato and ketchup or preferably something else (mustard, mayonnaise) rather than tomato sauce.

Mustard is by far the best condiment though.

Best for dipping french fries is
horseradish mayo

Ketchup is
fine but just not that great
I usually use it on french fries pretty much only. Mayo feels too artery-clogging and indulgent most of the time, even thought it's the best. Too many fries + mayo makes me feel a bit sick I think

Not so hard if you use this and store bought crushed tomatoes.

When someone can make one better then Heinz then Im all for it.

Strange tho, Im all for mayo on burgers. Tastes bloody good. But french frys? Man thats terrible.

All these condiments are loaded with sodium so Im afraid I dont eat them much. Never had chipotle tho theres a place nearby and many are raving. I'll stick with plain ole tacos and burritos. Even with them I have to keep a bottle of Chipotleaway handy.

It sucks getting old.

My daughter eats ketchup like it is a food group itself.  There is few meals where she doesn't have it out.

If you ever eat at mcdonalds get a pack or 2 of their Mc Chicken sauce and dip the fries in that.  Pretty close to mayo just a tad more tangy I think.

I don't understand the reputation Chipotle seems to have among certain populations
It's easily the cleanest and healthiest Mexican-esque chain around with all organic and locally sourced ingredients and the like. I couldn't imagine getting any more diarrhea-y from Chipotle than any other Mexican-y food
Compared with Qdoba or Subway it's no contest. Actually Chipotle is probably the kind of fast food in general, although more expensive

Compared with Taco Bell it's like some sort of Mecca

In different areas of the country the quality will vary.  Take In-n-Out.  I have tried it twice and got sick for days from it, both times.  I will never eat there again.  Greasy and soggy french fries.  Blandest burger ever.  The lettuce was wilted. Even the drinks were flat as a pancake.

Yet, people will rant and rave about how great they are.  How fresh and so on and so forth.

Guys you need to start cooking a few meals at home.  It takes a while to get in gear but the rewards are worth while.  When you find things like Penzeys spices, the world of flavor is at your fingertips.

OK, guys, here is the best thing for fries (other than malt vinegar, of course  :aok):

Mix some Sriracha hot sauce into the ketchup.  It is *really* good.  I don't even like ketchup on things, but I love ketchup + sriracha.

Sriracha is in supermarkets all around the west coast of the US.  Not sure if it is easy to get everywhere else in the US.

Taco Bell isn't Mexican food -- it's Taco Bell food.  It's where you can get a chimuridito or an enchaladonga.  :)

I like Mexican food, but I also like Taco Bell a lot.  I like my sack full of crunchy tacos, then slather each one in Frank's Red Hot sauce prior to consumption.  Mmmmmm!  :aok

So true.

In Michigan, Dairy Queens were (when I lived there) scary places to eat.  You could get a chocolate-dipped soft-serve cone, but I'd be afraid of cockroaches or rampaging armies of microorganisms in anything else.  When I moved to Washington State, I noticed that Diary Queens looked *clean* and was startled.  I had to try one, and they were pretty good.

The best food poisoning story I know, by the way, comes from my very own company.  One of our guys went out for a machine installation in China, came back to the US, and immediately manifested bad food poising that required medication to eradicate.  I asked him what he thought it was from.  It turns out that, shortly before getting on his flight home, he went to a 7-11 in China and ate a dinner of meatballs there.  "Ye gods," I said.  "Meatballs from 7-11 in the US would probably nearly kill you.  What the heck were you thinking?  Are you suicidal?"  I could just imagine those meatballs, floating in yellowish fluid at the checkout counter, customers and counter workers coughing and sneezing over them for weeks, warm to the touch, but only because of internal bacterial metabolism, not because of a heated tray.

There is a lesson here.  It is a lesson like:  "Don't take a running chainsaw and use it to saw through your own guts.  That is a bad thing to do."

You know, I just realized that one of those meatballs might have evolved a civilization, like in Horton Hears a Who.  I shall now refer to my coworker as Destroyer of Worlds.
