Ketchup/Catsup
Call me a fob but the truth of the matter is that I am a Ketchup collecting desi. No not the huge maggi sauce bottles or Heinz family pack but the ketchup sachets you get with fries, burgers, pizzas (yes I like my slice with ketchup on it), samosas. Not only ketchup, but I like collecting relish, tartar sauce, mayo and hot sauce sachets too.
Today though is only about the ketchup sachets. When I recently visited Hyderabad, after a looooong while, I noticed that they now have a McDonalds and this little glass case where they want people to throw in their unused sachets. Inasmuch as I like the idea of the sachets being reused and waste being reduced, I like the idea of housing them in my bag better. Why? Just because I asked them for extra ketchup on the side and during the time that I come across a nasty customer service rep who is stingy about handing out sachets or if I do forget to ask them for extra, I can always dig into my stash and fetch out more!
I think I have a phobia of running out of ketchup. Runoutaketchupophobia!
I like my ketchup cold with my hot fries,pizza,burger, samosa and pakoda.
Number of ketchup sachets in my bag:2
Number of sachets that tore and decorated my bag red and gooey:2
Until next time lovelies....

How about soy sauce and duck sauce? (I couldn't take the discrimination against chinese food anymore!)

I don't see what the point of wanting to eat a burger or samosa is if you are going to change its taste completely by dousing it in ketchup.
I had a good friend who used to do that. We are not good friends any more.

I don't believe this is happening, but I am with PMoW on this one. In fact, the only time you will see me reaching for a bottle of ketchup is when the food does not taste all that great.
PS: I believe having ketchup is possibly the biggest insult that can be thrown at a chef.

Luckily PMW we are not good friends to fall out of friendship :D. Script Writer, Ketchup is the biggest tangiest compliment to food!
Aran - only pad thai. :)
