    I’ll take a slice of peanut butter, a slice of mayonnaise, and a slice of banana in the middle.

    Does anyone know what I’m referencing when I say, “and then you just add a squirt of lattice, a squirt of napkins…” Or, “quit fake pressing buttons on the microwave!!”

    If it prevents the ketchup from leaking on the other end when biting then I’m willing to try.

      If your burger isn’t leaking juices out the back when you bite into it, I think there’s room for improvement.

      Ok, so what you want to do is like zigzags, so when you put the bun down and shift it around a bit you get good coverage, but it’ll stay neat. Then you can go literally the rest of your life without that problem. Welcome.

    That looks like the same texture as the dried ketchup that gets stuck around the inside of the ketchup lid. Rubbery. Have never even been tempted to consider eating the rubbery goop on the inside of a ketchup lid.

    Sometimes a thing is just figured out and that’s okay. You don’t have to keep trying to “innovate” or whatever.

    I’d try it.

    I doubt I’d like it for the things I tend to like ketchup with, because any thickened sauce that firm is going to have less presence on the tongue. Ketchup is a sweet, vinegary punch. You thicken that enough for a slice, and even if it’s meltable, you still don’t have the same capability of the relevant compounds to spread across the palate in the right way just isn’t there.

    But it’s not some kind of crazy idea. There’s plenty of ways to get a “gel” version of a given sauce or condiment. Hell, an aspic isn’t exactly far off from this as it is, and tomato aspic is yummy as hell, if not as punchy as ketchup.

    God damnit, I thought for sure this had to be fake, so I had to check, to retain a micron of faith in humanity. But nay, it’s real.
