Portland Ketchup

Has anybody else here tried this? Any fans? Recently heard a recommendation and I saw it on a store shelf, so I grabbed it out of curiosity. I feel like pestering local restaurants to start having this on hand instead of (or in addition to) Heinz. It's much less sweet than Heinz, and has more tomato flavor, without overdoing it.

Not really a fan of ketchup, but I'd try it for the lulz. If I'm willing to use sauce on something, I can't think of any instance I'd prefer ketchup(even a less sweet one) over hot sauce. If I had a restaurant, the table would have a bottle of Tabasco, and a bottle of malt vinegar on the table. If someone wants something else, they'd have to ask for it. Just like things are now, but less lame.

I like spicy food some of the time, but definitely not all the time. I don't generally want my burger or fries to be spicy (except for when I do...)
 
My ideal burger has bacon, cheese, raw onion, and pickled jalapeño slices. No sauce of any kind. Unless it comes with something by default, I don't usually put stuff on burgers. Maybe Tabasco if I'm at work, cause I keep a bottle in my cooler, and usually take it in with me if I'm eating out. I like Tabasco or malt vinegar on fries. Depends on my mood.

I went to a food truck outside a brewery recently and told them I didn't want any condiments on it, the lady seemed confused, "you just want it dry?"
Lady, if the burger is dry without sauce, I probably don't want it at all. It was not dry, it was pretty good, had some very tasty bacon on. Next time I'll bring my own ketchup 😛
 
I like making fries in the air fryer and I occasionally make veggie burgers. That's the only time I eat ketchup nowadays. I've been using Hunt's 100% Natural ketchup and I like it pretty well.

Never could get into Tabasco; much prefer El Yucateco if I want something hot or Cholula if I want something mild.

Shut the fuck up about hot sauce, Steve, this is about ketchup. Yes, El Yucateco is fucking vastly superior to Tabasco, but that's not what we're talking about.

Sorry I stopped eating ketchup when I was nine.

Is that Portland Oregon presumably? Where did you pick it up?

EDIT - Heinz doesn't even list on their website how much sugar is in their ketchup.

Tomato Ketchup | Heinz

Heinz Tomato Ketchup is made only from sweet, juicy, red ripe tomatoes for the signature thick and rich taste of Americas Favorite Ketchup. Did you know that every tomato in every bottle of Heinz Ketchup is grown from Heinz seeds? Grown not made... One reason why nothing else tastes like Heinz...

I consider Tabasco the base hot sauce. I'm super fucking happy if a restaurant has that on hand. It usually isn't the best for anything, but it's acceptable for everything. El Yucateco is great, but it's a little "dry", and there's stuff I'd prefer Tabasco on. El Yucateco's in my top 5 though.

I usually get Cholula when I'm at an American restaurant and ask for hot sauce. Always wish it was Frank's Red Hot instead.

Looks like I'm in Crystal territory. I don't think I've ever been handed that in a restaurant when I ask for hot sauce. I've had it before, but have no opinion. I think I rejected it in favor of Tabasco for a similar style. My top 5 in no particular order...

Tabasco
El Yucateco
Wegmans habanero. I think it's made by Tropical Pepper co, or whoever makes it for them. From Costa Rica.
Valentina
Melindas. Hardest to find of the bunch. I usually buy a bunch when I see it.

Yep, that Portland. I got a 3 pack at Costco, but I'm in the PNW.

Now combine the two. Hot ketchup is where it is at.

This sounds odd, until you try it, but then add celery seeds for perfection.

Doesn't sound odd to me, but I went to high school in Germany.

I'm not against the idea, but I suspect I'd prefer plain hot sauce. I got sriracha once with the intention of using it like ketchup, but the sweetness got on my nerves. I was happy when the bottle was gone.
 
Only thing I use ketchup for is the base of my diy BBQ sauce.

Malt vinegar on fries is the bomb.

In the 80’s I lived 10 miles from the Tabasco manufacturing home at Avery Island, LA. Love that stuff! The plant tours were awesome and we used to catch crabs for a seafood boil at the bridge onto the island.
