Ten Million Ketchup Vanities

Man, sometimes I have had it with our society! I went to a lot of trouble to make some really beautiful cheeseburgers for lunch today. I toasted the buns, I sliced the onions and shredded the lettuce. I flavored the hamburger before and during cooking.

But I also put ketchup on them.

At my first tasty bite I was repelled by the overwhelming taste of sugar, an obscene amount of sugar. I was horrified. The burgers were ruined! I rushed, gagging and choking, to the fridge, grabbed the ketchup bottle and read the label. 4 GRAMS of sugar, per serving!? It's ketchup! A serving is like 8 or 10 grams. 4 grams!?! It's like tomato flavored bubble gum. YUCK!

Does anyone know of any brand of ketchup that is actually ketchup and not tomato based candy?

In the summer, I make my own by cooking some fresh tomatoes right alongside the burger. The cherry or grape kind are the best, just roast them right in the skins until the skins are seared. Once they’re cooked through, smash them up with a fork (carefully, they squirt) and mix with a bit of salt.

This has 4 grams of sugar per serving, but it is the best I've ever had. I can't stand most ketchup brands.

It sounds more like a trip to the ER.

When I was growing up, my aunt would sometimes take us to the dairy store on Sat. for ice cream cones. I always got lemon. It was smooth, sweet, and creamy lemon with broken up bits of sour lemon candies in it. I would like to have some now on a hot summer afternoon.

We lived in northern OH for a couple years. I liked a brand called Brooks, it came in regular and hot. The hot was my favorite and was the one I used in my hot dog chili sauce. Hot dogs must have chili sauce, mustard, cole slaw, and chopped onion.

Brooks is made in Canada now and they no longer make the hot flavor. I found this site with 6 pages of ketchup though.

Or go for some heat with Siracha! http://www.huyfong.com

I agree, too much sugar in most things! (Not to mention salt).
