Ketchup varies from region to region. I think that most American ketchups contain a tangy, vinegar-influenced flavor, whereas their European counterparts are sweeter. In fact, I remember once talking to a man from Germany who said that American ketchup made him sick and that he hated vinegar in it.

A German having problem with vinegar? An oddity. Not being a ketchup fan. I cannot really make any comparisons, except to say it is all too sweet for usually. |

If I have to put ketchup on food, then the food in question has failed. Ditto steak sauce, which is just an abomination unto meatkind.
I will make an exception for hot sauces, because com'on, those are delicious.

Del Monte master race, I think that Del Monte has the perfect balance between sweet and tangy. Hunts is too sweet for me and Heinz is too tangy. But Del Monte is just perfect.

Here, y'all, this is barbecue sauce. Not all this fancy-dancy faux barbecue sauce with all those weirdo ingredients. INGREDIENTS: • 4 cups yellow mustard (two 20-ounce bottles of French's mustard should do the trick) • 8 ounces of beer (less for thicker sauce, more for thinner sauce) • ½ cup apple cider vinegar • 8 tablespoons brown sugar • 1/2 cup tomato puree • 2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce • 1 tablespoon cayenne • 1 tablespoon fresh cracked black pepper • 2 teaspoons salt • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder http://www.discoversouthcarolina.com/see-do/food/flavors/maincourses/barbequeAnother one here, and a barbecue map of South Carolina: http://amazingribs.com/recipes/BBQ_sauces/south_carolina_mustard_BBQ_sauce.html |

I'm not a huge tomato ketchup fan, but when I do use it I prefer Brooks. Hard to find these days, but the local Meijer carries it. It's got a zing!
I usually use honey mustard or mayonnaise, especially with French Fries.

Never understood mayonnaise with french fries... haha. Im actually not a huge ketchup fan either, but i like it with fries. Ketchup on a hog dog makes me want to puke though. Im a mustard only guy. I could drink a full glass of mustard and not get sick. Ketchup on the other hand.... |

Not sure about where the idea of mayonnaise and fries came from.... I know that it's much more popular in Canada and parts of Europe (Germany at least) than here in the States. Decided I'd give it a try, and found I liked it.
I like ketchup on occasion with fries or on burgers. Usually though, it's lettuce, tomato and sometimes onion. I can't stand hot dogs except for the "big red smokies" at Great American watching the Cincinnati Reds. Then its a small stream of mustard on one side and ketchup on the other. Sometimes a little chili.

You know what is a serious contender though? Whole Foods Market Organic 365 Ketchup. It is quite unbelievable. I was shocked by how good it was, and usually organic ketchups are repulsive. But it must be the Organic 365 brand. Highly recommended for the Ketchup fan. Simply Heinz might be my favorite ketchup ever. McDonalds has some excellent ketchup in their "Fancy Ketchup" packets, but I only reserve it to McDonalds food. Seriously I can't even imagine eating McDonalds fries or burgers with Heinz Ketchup. |

McDonalds burgers.... Get me a white paper bag.... quickly! Yuck! About the only thing I like at McDonald's are the Chicken McNuggets and occasionally their McChicken sandwich. Their fries I can take or leave. Never use ketchup there, just honey mustard or sweet 'n sour dipping sauce.
My hamburger places of choice are Steak 'N Shake and Five Guys.
Heinz is OK, but after growing up with Brook's it's just boring. Sorry, folks. Brooks has zing!
I love North Carolina BBQ- the vinegar definitely adds an unique flavour! KatherineofDixie, I'll be giving your recipe a try real soon!

I'm with you man. But there is something in those Quarter Pounders w/cheese that I crave atleast once a month, and I totally acknowledge how awful they are.
It's very weird how a QP w/cheese tastes so vastly different than the typical Cheeseburger at McD. I wonder why that is.
Chicken McNuggets w/ their sweet and sour is one of the best things in life. When they used mixed meat back in the day, I used to vomit it up everytime I ate it. Then finally they used 100% all white meat, and I could eat it with no problem.
Brook's huh? I like zing, which as you say Heinz lacks in.
My favorite burger joints are local.
In-N-Out is overrated.

If you knew, it'd ruin your once-a-month craving. Chicken McNuggets ... 100% all white meat, I read in a study that it's all white because of the bleach. Yum! Trying to locate that study... |

Bleached chicken?  Hmm... sounds like the local rumour when I was younger that Big Mac sauce was made of ground worm protein. It's true that McDonalds's used to used minced chicken in the nuggets, but I'm pretty sure it's actually all white meat now, and not bleached. This coming from a man who eats chicken several times a week. The minced chicken was pretty gross. Reminds me of the other childhood rumour that Hubba Bubba gum had spiders in it.  There are a few local burger places around here, but they tend to be a bit too pricey for my liking.  When I was growing up in a small town there was a local organization that set up a burger stand every summer for a few weeks in front of a local grocery. They were really good and cheap. My grandparents still live there, I'll have to ask if that is still done. Sadly, the grocery has been replaced by a CVS. Heard of In-N-Out, but never tried one, none in this area. Steak-N-Shake is regional, but good as it is prepared to order (more diner than fast food). They are steak burgers. Love the shoe string fries and hand dipped chocolate malts too! I don't eat much at Wendy's. Used to, but got burnt out on it. My favourite was their taco salad. Their food isn't too terrible. |

Wendy's has truly stepped up in the quality department. Since Dave Thomas died, and I think his daughter took over operations, their stuff is so good.
Their burger meat is incredibly juciy, excellent buns, great tasting fries, etc.
I never really liked Wendy's alot until they changed their formula. It's so hard to resist now.
EDIT: In-N-Out is kind of "infamous" for burger afficianados. It's ridicously cheap but taste amazing, or so other people say. Personally I wasn't impressed except their fries are extremely addicting. I wasn't too happy with the burger. My measurement on a good tasting a burger is nothing but the patty, bun, cheese, and ketchup (maybe even mustard).

I remember asking for Ketchup in East Germany, and the incredulous looks I got. "That's the dream of every East German" an East German told me. "What?" I asked. "Ketchup." |
