Ketchup! It’s a great way to moisten/add unnecessary sodium to classic meals like burgers, fries, eggs, grilled cheese, hot dogs, etc. Hell, I’ll put that shit on my BLT, poutine (I know!), and of course mac n’ cheese. My favorite chips? Ketchup chips (Is that still just a Canadian thing?). It’s clearly the best condiment ever, and I can attribute at least ten pounds of my body fat to the salty red stuff.
But even I, a deeply ashamed proud ketchup slut, drew the line at the food-crime committed by former Major League Baseball player Adam Jones. KETCHUP ON TACOS.
Here’s Adam admitting he commits taco blasphemy:
And on Cinco de Mayo, a celebration of Mexican culture! And to pair it with a Corona Extra? Wow. Sacrilege. Commenters obviously had an issue with Adam’s culinary choices, and did not hold back in the comments (via TMZ):
“I know that’s not ketchup on your taco….” one fan wrote. “Your SD card’s gonna get pulled if so….”
But Jones, a San Diego native, was having none of the ketchup slanders … firing back at the haters, saying, “you can’t ever pull my SD card. It’s my plate. I eat them how I want to. Ain’t a specific way. So gracias.”
I like that Adam stuck to his guns and defended his food trash ways. But he better watch his ass, because the L.A. King of Tacos and real-life superhero, THEE Danny Trejo, wasted no time schooling him on taco etiquette:
Danny says you can put pretty much anything on a taco, but not ketchup. He told TMZ:
If I was in a restaurant and saw somebody putting ketchup on a taco, I’d say “NO! NO! I am paying for your dinner, you’re not putting ketchup on that taco!”
It sounds like a pretty easy way to get a free meal! But knowing my luck I’d try that scam when Danny’s in a bad mood and get chopped in half with his machete. Hey, ya live, ya learn, ya get sliced.
