The sad story is he was diagnosed with Celiac at 3, and as such has grown up with a lot of food issues. It’s developed into like a fear of new foods, and his crutch is ketchup, which is the lesser of evils at this point. We think it’s crossed into ARFID, and he’s in OT.
Copying my reply to someone else, the sad story is he was diagnosed with Celiac at 3, and as such has grown up with a lot of food issues.

As an Asian this whole thread feels so weird and I can’t tell if people actually eat rice with ketchup or they are tricking me into trying an abomination
Why can’t y’all just make normal children’s food like chicken curry with rice? Stop putting so much sugar and corn syrup in everything.
If this continues we’ll have to retaliate: see how certain East Asian countries make pizzas and burgers and see how you like it! (PS: it was flatbread with corn and ham as the only toppings)
Oh and the original answer: since so many people have already answered soy sauce, I’d say chicken soup or pork broth.
I wouldn’t say it’s common, but I also wouldn’t say it’s unheard of…and I would never put it past Americans to try an odd condiment application.
Honestly though, when you look at the ingredients, it’s not too drastically far off from the ingredients of a sauce you might specifically put together as part of a more traditional rice dish: tomatoes, vinegar, onion, garlic, ginger, coriander, cumin… bit heavy on the sugar but a lot of sauces in Asian cooking are even sweeter.
I agree it seems repulsive on the surface to me too, but now that I’ve been thinking about it…I kinda wanna try it.
Do you really believe that people who have sunken so low that they consider ketchup would have either used good rice or would know how to prepare it properly?
That’s fried rice, not white rice steamed or cooked in a rice cooker. I can imagine putting ketchup on a nigiri and immediately getting scolded in Japan.
more like people in America sometimes eat it. just like how people everywhere sometimes do everything and stupid nationalism only divides everybody more.
Haha I don’t know many American adults who eat ketchup on more than a few foods. Maybe burgers, maybe hot dogs, probably french fries. Most of us hate how it smells too.
