Is there a reason because Japanese use ketchup as a topping for spaghetti rather than ragu or regular tomato sauce?
Namely, does it have any bearing on the steep prices on vegetables or it's yet anoter ill habit from USA (I know you guys are guilty of this too) which has unfortunately ended up rubbing off on them?

Euch. I tried that as a kid. It's way too much, all wrong. Ketchup does not belong on spaghetti, that's just nasty.

>> No.2078823

It's used specifically on something called "Napolitan". That's it.

I've lived in the US for quite a while now and I've never seen ketchup on spaghetti. I've seen it on eggs, pizza (along with mustard), crisps, and a ton of other dishes, but never pasta.

Ketchup on spaghetti comes from U.S. Army mess halls back in the day. They say the Neapolitan has it's origins during the American military occupation of Japan immediately following the end of WWII.

Just because things are red does not make them similar. I've never even considered it on account of the fact that ketchup is more like tomato-flavored sweetened vinegar than a tomato sauce. And I don't eat vinegar on my noodles.

>> No.2078926

I've lived in America all of my life as well.
I've only seen poor people put spaghetti on pasta in documentaries as if to say, "Look at how poor these people are. Can't even afford some damn pasta sauce. Damn."

I'm surprised to hear this is a common practice, however. It doesn't at all seem appetizing.

Ketchup is not as expensive due to the extreme prices for fruits and veggies in Japan. The average Japanese gentlenerd is too busy paying his yet another extreme price for an apartment, or even more expensive, a house, that all he eats is cheap noodles and condiments without the "fresh" status.
