Mustard vs Ketchup ~ It's a Duel

Ranked #3,178 in Food & Cooking, #59,066 overall

WHAT'S YOUR OPINION ON THE TWO OF THE WORLD'S MOST FAVORITE TABLE CONDIMENTS - MUSTARD & KETCHUP

I have always loved mustard as I grew up with mustard. Mustard is my favorite condiment and no, I DO NOT use mustard on fries. The only thing I really love ketchup on is Fish and Chips. I can't seem to enjoy them without ketchup.

I love using mustard on most types of meat and in some sandwiches. I often use mustard in cooking to give foods that extra zip or zing. For special occasions I use Dijon mustard to make a glaze for ham or lamb. I also like to use either liquid or dry mustard in sauces and salads. I have to admit I have occasionally used ketchup to make homemade BBQ sauce or in a tomato based steak marinate.

Most people cannot eat their meals without either mustard and/or ketchup. They are both used as a table condiment at meals and in lots of recipes. Do you have a preference for mustard or ketchup? What's your opinion? If you can't decide between mustard or ketchup, how about saying something you like about either one.

Ketchup has Great Taste
BUT IS IT REALLY BETTER?

AND I SAY: If I Use Ketchup, I Use Heinz!

When I have Fish and Chips, I really would rather have Heinz. I have tried lots of varieties of Ketchup but nothing compares to Heinz brand of ketchup. I usually buy the big squeeze bottles, as my family really loves their ketchup. I don't use ketchup often enough to worry about calories or salt so I just buy the regular variety of Heinz Ketchup.

The nutritional facts on ketchup help me to prove my point that ketchup is worse than mustard. Would you believe that Ketchup has calories. Yes, ketchup is fattening! Ketchup also has more salt and more carbohydrates and that's sugar. Of course, ketchup has GREAT TASTE so who cares about the nutritional content of ketchup. That's especially important if ketchup is your favorite condiment and you voted for ketchup to WIN.
