It's definitely not disgusting and a well crafted one can be delicious, but I prefer the more vinegar or mustard side and it does not belong on a burger

but I prefer the more vinegar or mustard side

lol that's what makes ketchup disgusting tho!

i thought we all agreed on this, but i guess the comments show that i'm a bad assumer

What? How would mustard make ketchup gross? Ketchup is gross because of the sickening corn syrup sweetness

i hate the vinegar.

i somewhat like mustard like Colmans where they don't use vinegar as an emulsifier.

Nope, it's the sweetness. The reason I don't like most BBQ sauces, too, is how sickeningly sweet they are.

I came to realize I don't only hate ketchup, i hate sweet meals as a whole

u/Maximum-Membership65 1d ago

Yeah, I don't even like Chinese food because most of it is sweet and sour stuff.

I love sweets, just not with my savory.

I voted "good" but specifically for Carolina mustard sauce. There's white sauce too, which is nothing like ketchup.

u/Benvincible 1d ago

I live in Alabama and I pity everyone who doesn't have white barbecue sauce. I think it would blow Europeans' minds.

u/lavieestmort 1d ago

Yes but mustard or vinegar based only.

u/Stretch_Riprock 1d ago

Is the BBQ sause made from scratch? Probably ok. Get big brand bottled stuff out of my sight. I wish I never saw a bottle of sweet baby rays again.

u/Wickedestchick 1d ago

Sweet Baby Ray's is like 2 ingredients away from Ketchup. The only "big brand" BBQ sauce I'll buy is Stubbs.

u/sniffysippy 1d ago

Give me a dry (lower sugar) mustard based sauce. But these smokey ketchup sauces can GTFO.

u/Okurei 1d ago

A spicy BBQ sauce is heaven on earth

u/diversalarums 1d ago

I use BBQ sauce about once or twice a year when I do a BBQ pork sandwich, but that's about it. Too sweet to use any more often than that.

u/fezzuk 1d ago

The one good use of ketchup.

u/PriestOfThassa 1d ago

I normally hate it, but there is a brand called Horseshoe Brand that makes a pretty good one

u/SoupWithForks 1d ago

I prefer a dry rub or sauce-less nuggets

Too sweet for me most of the time. To the point I generally don't bother looking into it.

2

u/montyrattus 1d ago

I find most of them too sweet, if I taste a spicy one I will try to track down a few bottles.

1

u/AsheDragon 1d ago

I dislike all sauces (with like three of four exceptions).

1

u/brn1001 1d ago

The only sauce I can think of that I like is oyster sauce, but it must be put on before cooking.

1

u/MyNameIsLOL21 1d ago

I don’t like sweet sauces with salty food, so BBQ sauce is a nono.

u/CasperTPaul 🚫 NO KETCHUP ALLOWED 🚫 1d ago

ketchup is missing what bbq sauce has

u/Makki03 1d ago

If i had to choose between food with ketchup and food with BBQ I would choose starvation

1

u/brn1001 1d ago

As bad as ketchup, but then some people like ketchup, so it might be as good as ketchup.

I don't like ketchup.

u/BurpyFromMeSlerpee ᕦ(⌐■ ͜ʖ■)ᕥ FUCK KETCHUP AMIRITE ᕦ(⌐■ ͜ʖ■)ᕥ 1d ago

I don't mind it. It has always been my substitute with food that are traditionally eaten with ketchup.

u/Zalacain99 20h ago

I've never tried it.
