WaPo: Trump put ketchup on his steak!

[Anonymous]

The funniest thing for me about this revelation is that my FIL and SIL both put ketchup on their well done steaks, and they are both Trump supporters. My FIL is the Rush Limbaugh radio totin' Hannity quotin' type. So the ketchup really brings it around to close the loop.

My parents raised me right - medium rare please!

He just needs to sit in a laz-e-boy recliner yelling at the TV while watching FoxNews and he is EXACTLY my mentally-unhinged, racist FIL. Who is certainly a Trump supporter.

I hate all the trump stands for, but this post is ridiculous. OP, you embarrass me.

Who cares if he puts ketchup on his steak! It's a tomato product that goes with savory foods. I grew up where people did this in the midwest and if I ate a stake today, I might put ketchup on it (although I can't remember the last time I ate a steak). A steak is quite similar to a hamburger (i.e. both beef). Would you be up in arms if he put ketchup on his burger?

See, OP, it's this kind of micro-complaining that makes people hate east coasters and label them "elites" who don't understand real life. You played right into the charicature.

Let him eat ketchup if he wants... just don't destroy our country, start wars or block good people from entering our country.

FOCUS on what's important, OP.

Only one so vapid, boorish, uncouth, and devoid of good breeding as Mr. Trump would stoop to eating steak with, with - ketchup!

Utterly deplorable.

Bill Clinton was mocked and criticized for having a junk food addiction (one of the various reasons people used to call him the first African American president).

Steaks with katchup is not unusual and has been around for generations, going back to the 19th century. It's no different from any other condiment and is a personal preference.

I'm conservative and I prefer my steaks rare like the French do.

Indeed. I once had people over for a cookout and served steak. A guest asked me for A-1 Steak Sauce. I was horribly offended and guest was never invited back. If you buy high quality meat and properly cook it, you never need A-1 sauce or ketchup!

The guest was never invited back? Really?

You understand that this is why Trump is president, right?

Aw, and after all those years Republicans spent hating them. They've been eating Hunts for years for no reason!

As an outsider, Trump is really shaking up the establishment.

This thread makes me think of the old A1 commercials. What's a hamburger? Chopped ham? No it's chopped steak! A1 makes hamburgers taste like steakburgers.

I guess this is just the inverse.

Re. Nixon - I eat ketchup with scrambled eggs though the past few years I've switched to salsa. Also, my family had a dish growing up - cottage cheese and noodles. My husband had a similar dish but added sour cream (which I can deal with) and ketchup (I draw the line there). When we make it now, the whole batch has cottage cheese, noodles, and sour cream, and then DH and DS add ketchup to theirs on the plate. So disgusting.

There is something seriously, seriously wrong with you.
