Ketchup is great with things like Hotdogs - gotta have Ketchup and Mustard ... but otherwise it's an insult to the chef ...

One thing I've noticed - foreign brands (French / Danish / German) tend to be less sweet ... and therefore nicer IMHO...
 
The chef will not give a **** what condiment you choose. They’ll give a **** if you complain about something ******ed like a steak being overcooked when it isn’t or saying you have an allergy when you just don’t like something but then eat a dish with it in anyway because it looks good.

Not so - there are certain restaurants where Ketchup is, in fact, banned ...

Goes to different levels in France - we were in Narjac (Aveyron) region and decided to order the Cote de Boeuf as a family treat when in a particular restaurant - me and the girls like medium-rare (girls verge towards rare) but the missus likes it a little more cooked - were discussing with the waiter who told us that chef would refuse to cook it anything other than medium-rare to rare ... Missus ended up with all the seared bits - which are her favourite anyway <laugh>

It’s not banned. They just don’t have it. I didn’t need another chapter in your life story but it’s appreciated anyway.
