Ruin it yourself
The
Chicago hot dog vendors are at the right track when they just plain
refuse to put ketchup on a delicious hot dog. If ketchup were invented
today, the consumers would probably reject it immediately, since
ketchup must be about the best possible example of that something is
tolerated and done simply because that's the way it has always been
done. Most foods are simply ruined by the icky taste of ketchup. I can
think of very few foods whose taste ketchup actually improves, since
usually the overwhelming taste of ketchup comes through so clearly that
you don't get to enjoy the other good tastes. French fries are
admittedly improved by ketchup, but this doesn't justify the existence
of ketchup, since many other simple condiments such as mayonnaise (with
suitable spices) or tartar sauce are far superior to ketchup in this
regard. Go on, try this the next time that you are eating fries, and I
bet that you won't go back to ketchup.

When I was in Australia we were all warned against the local ketchup. Apparently it makes the North American stuff seem tasty by comparison.

Don't like ketchup.
I like shrimp cocktail sauce on fires - or barbecue sauce.

Hamburgers are best with some ketchup. I don't like it on hot dogs, however.

French fries are best with sweet Herkkumaa mustard.
