That has to be the worlds smallest stove I've ever seen in a house. And am I seeing ketchup in the middle of the grilled cheese squares?

Nope, regular sized stove. It's just the photo angle, methinks.

And yes, that is ketchup. Hey, it's only been a few years that I've stopped putting ketchup on cabbage rolls.
Is ketchup with your grilled cheese not a thing in the States?
(I do know that lots of places south of the border don't put vinegar on their fries.)

Betcha you wish ya hadn't. I have not gone back, thinking I won't. Blinders on.

If you do, be warned, it's the worst kind of crazy over there.

Trolls are completely sanctimonious, one clearly thinks he is smarter than everyone else (he posts a bunch of blog articles, gets called out because they aren't reliable, and then says, "Well, I could post this article, but I'm not sure you would understand; it's highly technical ), and then they troll others, and then call others names, including trolls (projection much)? Dangerous crazy. The type of crazy that thinks it's smart when it's really not.

 

[JenniferS]

This is the stove I want for my kitchen, it will complete the retro kitchen. The Aqua one.

Oooh, two of my favourite colours.

There's a difference between educated and smart. Dude has had some schooling, but he's still a dumb-a$$.

Nope. It's either plain grilled cheese or grilled cheese and tomato soup. I've seen grilled cheese with tomato in it. But no, ketchup does not go on my grilled cheese.

I see people down here put vinegar on their fries. At baseball games down here, they have salt, vinegar, and Old Bay sitting out, along with the usual ketchup, mayo, BBQ sauce, etc. I like either salt and ketchup, or the Old Bay (which is an MD/surrounding areas thing)

 

[JenniferS]

Yes please.

That's a pretty sad looking tomato slice though, right?
Looks pulpy/woody.

Hmmmm, dare I admit that I also put ketchup on a fried egg sandwich?!

Oh yeah, and he clearly liked to be a show off about it. He also clearly thought he was better and wiser than everyone else too. Someone who is actually smart and wise takes the time to listen to what others are saying. And he, along with the other main troll, seemed intent on arguing, not discussing. So stupid. At least it seems everyone has decided to stop feeding the trolls.

Up here, we use malt vinegar on our fries; harkening back to our more recent British roots probably.

Um...

Well, I don't like fried eggs, but not sure I would want ketchup on my egg sandwich. Of course, my egg sandwich needs nothing else. It's two pieces of toast with scrambled eggs with ham and sometimes a little green onion, and then a slice of cheese on top. It's perfection and needs no additions.

Not sure ketchup belongs with eggs, though.

Obviously I didn't get into it there, but you all know that nobody hates smoking and its effects more than me.
But seriously, a quick whiff of second hand smoke outside isn't killing anyone. Dramatic much?

On a totally unrelated note, I just heard something funny on the news regarding the PM's new omnibus anti-terrorist bill, Bill C-51.
More people in Canada are killed by moose than by terrorists.

No, no, no.
No toast. No ham. No cheese. No onion.
Just fried egg, S & P, ketchup, and beautiful soft white Wonder bread.

You are never going to make it as a Canadian.

Please, please tell me you put ketchup on mac & cheese.

 

[JenniferS]

It's March, you say.
Yeah, what of it, says I.

The lights are still on. You may assume that they are, until such time as I tell you that they are not.

I dip my fries sometimes in malt vinegar. Ketchup and grilled cheese I've never seen. But mine is made with lovely Wisconsin cheese that I couldn't put ketchup on, it would drown the taste of the yummy cheese.

Oh Dear. I've been so busy I've missed huge chunks of this thread multiple times this week which might be a blessing that I haven't had time to read that thread. I'm surprised it isn't locked.

 

[JenniferS]

I'm surprised it isn't locked.

Ditto.

 

[Gabe1]

Ewe.

Is the food that bad up there that one has to drown the taste out of every dish? Do you put ketchup in
Canadian cheese soup too?

 

[MOXOMUMD]

I really like pilaf and risotto, and surprisingly, Knorr flavoured rice packets. I am such a gourmand.

And I love pasta. All of it, except the Knorr flavoured packets.

I like Knorr sides. They're nice to use on nights I need a quick meal. Toss in some chicken or shrimp and voila.

 

[JenniferS]

Nobody adds ketchup to soup. That's just silly.

How about on top of meatloaf before you bake it?

 

[JenniferS]

Yup, it absolutely is a Canadian thing.
I actually remember this commercial. 1985, the year Hubby and I started dating.
