Ketchup is good, esp. Hunts. But I don't use it much myself. I prefer most foods without too much in the way of condiments.
But hey, are you saying you don't like malt vinegar on your "chips" (french fries)? C'mon, that's good stuff - barley juice juice on a fried potato bit. As it happens, vinegar is one of the main ingredients in ketchup, and it's not as if the tomatoes didn't also provide a certain acidic fruity tartness themselves. These things are not miles apart after all.
CG, this is the way it goes here and you know it's only right to sit up and take notice of the British when it comes to food. I mean, think of our massive contribution to world cuisine starting with chips and moving onto errrr, well, not very much else. Spotted dick and custard anyone? A unique British dessert that costs nothing and tastes like nothing.
Anyway, ketchup is for kids and when I say kids I mean 5 years olds. Once we reach 5 we graduate to a more refined condiment such as the aforementioned vinegar. I couldn't think of anything worse than putting ketchup on my chips (apart from a long conversation with some of the right-wing fools who inhabit this earth - even ketchup has a political element to it) and far as I'm concerned it puts you lot on a par with those other heathens from Europe who put mayonaisse on their chips.
Also, I heard a whisper the other day that you call your chips freedom fries but I can't believe you'd shamelessly use a potato to make a political statement so I'll dismiss it as folly.
