Food & Drink If you could only pick one condiment to use for the rest of your life, would it be ketchup or ranch?

Unlike you cupcake, we don't all like drinking from a ginger beer .....

I'm not your cupcake mate!!!! Nobody puts this vanilla, chocolate and pistachio swirl cupcake with sprinkles in the corner........

 

[AFanNotAFighter]

Neither. I would go with blue cheese dressing.

Not what the regiment reckoned sweetheart....x

Ketchup. I hate ranch unless i mix it 50/50 with sour cream.

 

[Spam On Rye]

Never used either much but would pick ketchup. Just seems more versatile. Only condiments are hot sauce and yellow mustard for me.

 

[RoastBeast]

It's always funny watching someone pretend to eat healthy by smothering ranch over healthy food.

I love a good bleu cheese dressing, but I don't put it on much. After wings and salads, what do you use it for?

It makes a good dip for raw vegetables and potato chips or pretzels and is also good on a burger. Many people like it with steak too although that's usually with crumbled blue cheese atop but I have used the dressing variety with steak and dip a forkful of meat in it.

mayo or mustard.

you can add extra salty crushed tomatoes to your sandwich to simulate ketchup.
you can make ranch using mayo.

I'm with you on the homemade ranch, but that's a piss-poor facsimile of ketchup.

Ranch. Ketchup is nasty.

I’m team ketchup.

Ketchup is like the Swiss Army knife of condiments—it can handle anything from fries to eggs, and even steaks if you’re feeling adventurous and want your meat to look like it’s been in a tomato fight!

With ketchup, you get what you pay for—a bright, bold flavor that never surprises you. Ranch? It’s like a box of chocolates, but instead of sweetness, you get a creamy mystery that might be too thick, too runny, or too garlicky. It’s a condiment roulette!

Ketchup is the open book of ingredients—tomatoes, sugar, vinegar. Ranch? It’s the secret agent of the condiment world, hiding its herbs and dairy in a creamy disguise. Who knows what’s really in there?

Leave ketchup out for a while, and it’s still ready to party. Ranch? Ten minutes on the counter, and it starts looking like it’s auditioning for a horror movie.

Ketchup is the universal peacekeeper—grab any bottle, and no one will start a fight. Ranch? It’s the condiment that causes family feuds. “I prefer Hidden Valley!” “No way, I’m a Primal Kitchen loyalist!”

Fries dipped in ketchup? A timeless classic. Fries dipped in ranch? You just lost a little bit of your cool factor. It’s like wearing socks with sandals—fashionably questionable.

Ketchup’s bottle design is the Picasso of condiments—an upside-down squeeze bottle that’s a masterpiece of engineering. Ranch bottles? They’re either the Hulk, pouring out way too much, or the Wimpy, barely a drop.

Ketchup is the global citizen—every country knows its worth. Ranch? Good luck explaining it to anyone outside the U.S. It’s like trying to teach a cat to fetch—a lost cause.

And finally, ketchup’s expiration date is like a rockstar’s—probably still fine long after it’s supposed to be gone. Ranch? It’s the condiment that expires faster than a New Year’s resolution.

I was thinking about this thread today at lunch. Only a heathen would eat veggies like carrots, tomatoes, or cucumbers with ketchup.

One more for the good guys!

Ranch is only good on two items:

1. Salad
2. Dipping sauce for vegetables

Is the choice only between catsup (spelled this way just to be annoying) and ranch?

Ranch. Catsup kind of sucks. It has its place on burgers. But other than that, I can’t think of one thing I use it for.

If I can choose anything, it’s hot sauce. Hot sauce makes everything better.

Ketchup is a nice finishing touch in chili and pasta sauce. I've seen tv chefs use it, Alton Brown being one.
