/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Why are you so obsessed?

>>13140699
are you american?

>>13140692
We grow massive amounts of corn and your country doesn't.
So they use that shit as bulk filler in everything.

>>13140700
No, but I'm tired of seeing the constant threads about American food.

>>13140692
obsessed and upset it's about to be America time

>>13140702
Then hide and make threads about other foods.
OP didn't do anything wrong, it's a legitimate question about food and cooking on a food and cooking board.

>>13140692
Depends on the brand. There are plenty of options here, you're just focusing on the mass-produced megacorp crap. Which, like the mass-produced megacorp beer is garbage when compared to good stuff made by smaller breweries. Probably has to do with cost efficiency above all else, profit driven like all mass produced stuff.

HFCS is equivalent to sugar you dumb fucks

>heinz ketchup
>not french's
disgusting

>>13140741
>t. big (((corn)))

>>13140741
excess fructose fucks up your liver amerifat

If you want real ketchup then you have to buy organic stuff. Otherwise you'll end up with cheap like your cherrypicked picture. Don't even try to act like there isn't cheap shit in the UK too.

Corn sugars are the same thing as cane sugars as far as your digestive system goes

Because it’s cheaper. There. Does that answer your question?

>spirit vinegar
wtf

>>13140893
It is the same thing as distilled

>>13140730
I'm American and I also hate this so I'm here for discussion.

Best answer I can come up with: Corn is in everything on account of how much corn is grown here. If you're curious, you should look at a list of corn byproducts.

That, and amerifats can't tell the fucking difference. If they could, they would probably still prefer the bullshit.

>>13140692
It's the same product except it uses fructose instead of sucrose and the American ingredients list is more specific. Are Europeans retarded?

>>13140692
EU has more regulation on this stuff and usually the national governments as well.

>>13140692
Because America has shitty food regulations. You'd have to seek it out yourself and (usually) pay more if you want the good stuff.

>>13140692
Because Americans are generally much lower quality that the inhabitants of other developed nations.

>>13140893
>haunted vinegar

>>13140692
America is becoming a Chinese styled dictatorship

>>13140692
Our regulatory agencies require more specificity on ingredient labels than they require in the yuropean federation of Pakistan. Seethe, nigger.

>>13141192
Thankfully ours just outright ban poison and other hazardous materials, so there's no need to include them on the label.

Yeah you always have to be careful in murrica. I always check the ingredients on what I buy and mostly go for the organic high quality stuff, more expensive but definitely worth it. Poor people food is just trash here.

>>13140692
We subsidize the corn industry in a ridiculous way so corn goes in everything as filler.

Now politicians are saying we have too much corn so after we subsidize it, they want to tax us to buy it. This works because people are retards that like socialism

>>13140692
I couldn't even tell the difference in ketchup when I was in L O N D O N.

>>13140692
Because other “developed nations” have way less people.

>>13140692
I generally like the taste of cane/beet sugar better than corn syrup, but other than that these are the same thing. Shit, the US version actually has the better, more informative listing.

>>13140692
They're not.

>Tomatoes, Tomato Paste, Fair Trade Organic Cane Sugar, Water, Onions, Distilled Vinegar, Salt, Lime Juice Concentrate, Green Bell Peppers, Allspice.

Why do you assume Americans can only by one brand of ketchup? This shit is only one dollar more than Heinz

>>13141384
>can only USE one brand

Fuck...anyway this ketchup is good as hell

>>13141239
>imagine believing what the corporate and government overlords tell you

Are all Europeans this retarded?

>>13141250
Socialism is good.

>>13140893
>The term spirit vinegar is sometimes reserved for the stronger variety (5% to 21% acetic acid) made from sugar cane or from chemically produced acetic acid. To be called "Spirit Vinegar", the product must come from an agricultural source and must be made by "double fermentation".

>>13141415
seething

>>13140692
YO, WE TALKIN CHUP IN HERE?

>>13141425
do britbongs really derive vinegar from ghosts?

Bro we have a huge variety of ketchup like that. Also are nutrition labels in the UK really equivalent to the usa? Ill be enjoying my heinz with honey which was probably cheaper than your shit.

>>13141384
>>13141393
>only 1 dollar more
>heinz is a dollar
>only twice the price

Chup it in my vag
Cause I'm a real bad lass

I love glucose fructose syrup in my hp sauce. what is the source of glucose fructose syrup? hmmm does the uk leave out details in ingredients?

>>13141490
That hipster brand is a dollar more but every normal brand has a low ingredient version with sugar for ,ess than a dollar upcharge. Places like market basket will have there own organic brand and be cheaper than the cornsyrup ones.

>>13141490
Heinz is $3 where I live and Kensington is $4...not a huge difference if you are not a poor fag

>>13141501
>lass
Chup gang diversifyin
Chup gang be high-flying.
On burgers, tendies, dawgs and stuff,
We just here to CHUP IT UP.

>>13141507
I’m pretty sure that’s just inverted sugar, they can call it just glucose- fructose syrup now I think but it’s actually just the same thing as HFCS but made from cane or beet sugar lel

>>13141507
It's corn.

>>13140692
>"Natural Flavorings"...

>>13141521
Oh so you buy it by the gallon?

>>13141601
>>13141521
Either that or you live in some socialist hell hole.

>>13141578
>>13141552

not the point brainlets

>>13141579
see
>>13141507
Whats better; flavorings or natural flavorings?

>>13141384
Non-GMO label kills it for me.

>>13140692
>spirit vinegar
No wonder the UK version has so much more SOUL.

>>13140893
most vinegar in europe comes from graveyards
its literally souls on my fries

>>13141384
the burger and tomato aren't friend the burger is taking the tomato away to be drenched in its blood

While it's true that there is nothing wrong with GMOs in general, GMO tomatoes taste like nothing.

>>13140692
Corn is subsidized heavily in the US, thus making corn syrup very cheap, so companies can churn out cheaper products for consumers who don't really give a shit about their health. What isn't often talked about is that there is a huge variety of most foods burgerland, and so organic alternatives or products with real ingredients such as the UK ketchup shown are also very easy to find there.

Chup bros where y'all at

>>13140692
Because America is controlled by bribed scumbag politicians like Trump and their megacorp masters. It’s basically ruined already and there isn’t really any hope even if the Democrats win 2020.

>>13142298
There’s also the fact that two companies control the vast majority of all sugar that gets imported to the US and mandates the prices however they please. Cane sugar is expensive in the US compared to corn syrup. Just another example of why capitalism doesn’t work.

We subsidize farmers who grow corn syrup which in return poisons Americans which in return leads to them seeking medical help which in return leads to crippling debt which in return makes israel great again.

>>13140692
It's not because the U.K. has any sort of regulation preventing corn syrup, it's just they don't have it as cheap in the US, so Heinz doesn't even bother with it. Anyway, you could always buy organic ketchup.

>>13140692
high fructose corn syrup. its why everyone's sugar tolerance is so high and a can of coke has 50g of sugar in it now.

Every grocery in america has this sitting right there next to the HFCS version.
Sugar, no gmo tomates.
We've had it for years.

Who the fuck started this thread

Mo ingredients
Mo flavor

>>13140782
Try to live in moderation. You can do that without your government forcing black dick down your throat right?

>>13140692
The only people who use ketchup in the US are either mentally ill or from like Oklahoma or Texas.

>>13141627
You don't even need to say it's natural being that you really would not fucking want to know why it's natural.

>>13141622
One anon asked
>what is the source of glucose fructose
I answered
>corn
That was literally the ONLY point, you absolute mongrel.

>>13140692
just give it straight to me, there are no americans right? that's just a meme you are repeating, no way there is a developed nation as absurd in existence

>>13142941
it's still the same one bottle sitting there for years in hopes of one european shopping there one day and actually buying edible ketchup

>>13142132
>maize

>>13142132
Is it Puhd-liz-ki or Pood-liz-ki?

I'm American and I don't buy heinz, the ketchup I use has about the same ingredients as the uk one, Best foods is the brand i think

amerifats are braindead consumers who worship brands. they just buy the most recognizable brand no matter what. they love coca cola, pepsi-co, lays, nestle, etc. etc. even when the product is trash

The quality of 4channel posts is a marked improvement over 4chan. Thanks Hirohito!

>lower quality
>has more ingredients and more flavor than the product on the right

>>13143689
don't forgot to buy passu! nipdaddy needs the money.

>>13140692
more likey 9/10 times theyre the exact same but different wordage

>>13141490
i just forgo the ketchup expensive entirely
is this what you want to hear?

>>13143028
>american starts fantasizing about black dicks

>>13143723
My bad, it's actually your daughters and wives who swallow refugee dick. I always forget.

>>13140692
That's because we're paying for your national defense you ungrateful Euroshit faggot.

Fuck NATO.

>>13140700
I am you mentally-inbred POS.

>other developed nations
>other
murica isn't developed lmao. there's like 2, maybe 3 cities with modern infrastructure in this shithole

>>13142316
You can always go back to plebbit and cry to people who will at least pretend to care about your faggot feelings

>>13141734
I really don't care about gmos one way or the other. I simply like that brand because it's not as sweet as regular ketchup. They also have good mayonnaise

>>13140692
A better question: why do you care so much about Americans? Nobody in America gives a single fuck about what's going on in whatever country you live in, so what's with the obsession?

>>13140692
There are different labeling laws moron. The fucking UK version is basically the same.

>>13141601
>>13141605
Neither...unless you consider the middle of nowhere in the deep South a socialist hellhole. I simply like the flavor and paying one more dollar for it doesn't hurt my wallet. Don't know why you are so asshurt someone is willing to pay one dollar more for a fucking condiment. Furthermore I don't need to buy a gallon because I'm not sitting at home drinking the shit
