Ketchup on eggs can be a subject of intense debate. Is this a combination you grew up with, or is the idea completely foreign to you? Based off of casual conversation here at The Takeout, it’s clear that for every enthusiast, there’s a hater who despise the very idea of Heinz on the breakfast table. And as a condiment, people have very strong feelings about ketchup more generally, like whether or not it belongs on hot dogs or, as we’ve discussed amongst ourselves previously, on burgers. So what do you think? Does ketchup belong on eggs?

IMHO, ketchup doesn’t belong on anything.

Tomato’s? Yeah, they’re great. Love ‘em.

Love ketchup on scrambled eggs. Tabasco too. Actually Tabasco on everything.

Ketchup on eggs is as vile and poisonous as mayonnaise on a hamburger. Tabasco, as you state, is best, but lots of coarse ground black pepper will do in a pinch.

Pass the Tapatio please.

Am I all alone on this?

Hard to imaging burgers, fries or eggs without ketchup.

I wasn’t introduced to the concept of catsup on eggs until I was a teen. My attitude is if it tastes good, why not? And if you don’t like catsup on your eggs, you are a weirdo.

Ketchup on scrambled eggs. Yum

I grew up being fed many times at breakfast, a sandwich with two strips of crispy bacon, a fried egg (yolk broken in the pan to solidify), a piece of American cheese melted on it and some ketchup.

Best thing on the planet.

Texas Pete on scrambled eggs is great also.

Salsa (with Hatch chile) with eggs is a heavenly culinary experience.

[Vigilanteman]

Sure it does if you want to dilute your Tabasco sauce just a little.

As soon as I read the title, I knew shit was going down.

It’s like asking if Die Hard is the best Christmas movie.

Does ketchup ever belong on eggs?, Jim Acosta asked Joke Biden at the press conference about stuffing the Supreme Court.

I prefer Frank’s original, but Tabasco works fine.
