  French here. I admit I used to eat rice with ketchup when I was a kid. I’m disgusted with myself thinking about it now.

    I used to eat ketchup sandwiches when I was a kid. Just ketchup between two pieces of bread.

    I also liked yogurt and cottage cheese mixed together.

    Kids are weird.

    You frenchies do some nasty shit sometimes. Very high cuisine but the day to day sometimes is weird (I have some colleagues that told me this)

    Japanese comfort food frequently calls for either ketchup or Japanese mayo in/on rice. Omurice being a prime example.

  I mean it’s more like childrens’ food so abomination is a bit of an exaggeration but it’s certainly nothing interesting. It’s rice with ketchup.

    Why can’t y’all just make normal children’s food like chicken curry with rice? Stop putting so much sugar and corn syrup in everything.

    If this continues we’ll have to retaliate: see how certain East Asian countries make pizzas and burgers and see how you like it! (PS: it was flatbread with corn and ham as the only toppings)

      You’re leaving out the mayo though, aren’t you?

  I wouldn’t say it’s common, but I also wouldn’t say it’s unheard of…and I would never put it past Americans to try an odd condiment application.

  Honestly though, when you look at the ingredients, it’s not too drastically far off from the ingredients of a sauce you might specifically put together as part of a more traditional rice dish: tomatoes, vinegar, onion, garlic, ginger, coriander, cumin… bit heavy on the sugar but a lot of sauces in Asian cooking are even sweeter.

  I agree it seems repulsive on the surface to me too, but now that I’ve been thinking about it…I kinda wanna try it.
