You can't make me choose between those.

Each has its own delicious place. Ketchup (catsup for Ruby) is extremely versatile and goes well with a lot of things. It's my go-to condiment if nothing else is available.

Mustard is less versatile IMO, but can add more flavor depending on the type and food its being added to. A good, spicy mustard on some home-cooked bratwurst or knockwurst? SO. GOOD.

hard to say as i use both pretty frequently. I would probably give a slight edge to ketchup though.

When I worked at Subway in high school, every now and then a person would ask for ketchup on their sub......but to answer the question, I use ketchup more.

Who the heck calls it catsup anymore? Must be an American thing.

I probably use both equally. Mustard for ham sandwiches of course. Ketchup on chips or burger.

there really isn't any food that needs catsup. where one assumes that catsup belongs, it can be vastly improved by replacing with one of many types of mustard.

1. sausages, brats, kielbasa, ect? catsup is an abomination.
2. fries? oh, come on....
3. hot dog/frankfurter? see #1; you also risk offending Clint Eastwood.
4. sandwiches of many types? no-brainer here.
5. frozen pizza? ...:hmm:

I can't think of a single thing that people put ketchup on that isn't better with a different topping.

Everything I use mustard on, I also use ketchup on (eg: burgers). The same can't be said the other way around (eg: fries).

most BBQ sauce is catsup + liquid smoke + sugar.

at least that Sweet Baby Ray's crap

Yeah I know BBQ sauce has a ton of sugar in it, I just far prefer how it tastes over ketchup. Not sure what it is about ketchup that I dislike so much, maybe it's the vinegar flavor that gets covered up in BBQ sauce by the other spices.

I like 57 sauce too. Anything but ketchup.

You're crazy, ketchup is heavenly on brats and you can't eat fries without it. Really though ketchup on mac & cheese is out of this world. It makes my potatoes extra creamy. My eggs divine. My dearest ketchup what would I do without you on my cheese? On hot dogs? Oh that goes without saying! Emm even on macaroni and butter ketchup completes the taste.

And you're all fools if you limit yourself to just one for a mustard and ketchup combo on a burger, fries or hotdog is as good as it gets.

You know who else puts ketchup on Brats, Mac & Cheese, Eggs, Hot Dogs?? Children. They have no development in their tastebuds either.

For fries, catsup + mustard is the nectar of the gods.

Both, goddamnit, both!
