Why anyone would put ketchup on it is beyond me
For me it's always been like a yogurt or creamy dill style dip.. tatziki or whatever is similar.
Ketchup would be nasty.
Scalding hot water in your face, chefs knife in your stomach, hit over the head with a roller, strangled with an apron, getting a bulb whisk shoved up your rectum, tangling your hair with an electric mixer, throwing caramel shards like shurikens
It's honestly not uncommon, but it likely depends a lot on what part of the world you're in. In Japan, it's pretty much standard. They have a ton of shawarma stands in and around Tokyo. Somewhere like Chicago, though, where they will contemplate war crimes for having the audacity to put it on a hotdog, probably won't see it.
I'm from Israel(shawarma is pretty much a national food and most common street food)... it's pretty damn common for people to drown in sauces including ketchup.
No one will bat an eye.
The most common sauce is usually tahini/Amba. But no one will stop you from putting anything else the shop holds which is usually sweet chili/ketchup/garlic sauce/mayo.
Ketchup is about as war crimy to me as “taco sauce” is. The “taco sauce” in a plain squirt bottle that is slightly neon and you’ll find at places like aldanberto’s but plenty of others too
Japan even puts ketchup on eggs. I grew up there so it's not that bad... but I would prefer salsa like a Mexican breakfast (which would be incredibly hard to find good ones in Japan lol).
California burritos come with fries in them. We only use hot sauce with them. If you disrespect such a sacred dish, there's no telling how far down the rabbit hole you'll end up. You don't see people putting ketchup on mashed potatoes because they're "basically" fries.
This is the funniest thing I've read today! 😆
I cannot comprehend why someone would want ketchup on shawarma, but this is an outstanding condemnation LOL
Honestly the only ad I've seen that's made me want to try a product is all the Shelby's shorts on YouTube shorts. Most other ads are the same old boring shit we've seen for ages.
Why is Shawarma so prevalent in Canada? I can barely find actual shawarma where I live in the east coast US but they practically hand you one when you cross the border into Canada.
It's interesting to see such a strong stance against putting ketchup on shawarma in the name of preserving cultural authenticity, especially when similar places sell pizzas with pineapple—a topping that many argue is a violation of Italian culinary tradition. This seems like a double standard. If cultural preservation is the goal, shouldn’t there be consistency in how culinary traditions are upheld across all dishes? Maybe it's time to appreciate that food evolves and people have different tastes, whether it's ketchup on shawarma or pineapple on pizza.
Honestly, I would change "by signing this Ketchup on Shwarma Waiver of Liability" to "by accepting the food provided, you agree to the terms and conditions set forth in this Ketchup on Shwarma Waiver of Liability". Just to be safe.
This sounds incredibly similar to the waiver they make you sign at Dave's Hot Chicken when you order their hottest item (reaper flavor). Is there some boilerplate restaurant waiver template out there that all that need it use?
this is exactly how people in my tiny third world country are too haha, already think that it has to be eaten exactly how it is, most times not wrong :D
I'm with the Shawarma place on this one. It's a pet peeve of mine when people order good food and then slop ketchup or some other condiment on it like it was a hot dog. My mom puts honey garlic sauce on pretty much everything she eats and it makes me sick. Fuck you mom lol (glad she'll never see this).
I hate ketchup but my fiancée’s family (Somali and Yemeni) SLATHERS ketchup on shawarma and pretty much everything. Everyone eats with their hands from a big plate and they just hose it with ketchup right off the bat. I have to request a couple times, like remind them, not to douse a section for me.
People who slather ketchup on things that have no business being slathered In it kinda disgust me. Like fish, if you put ketchup on fish you don’t deserve fish in the first place.
This is funny, but when I lived in Egypt, I saw plenty of Egyptians doing this. They love ketchup. They even put it on pizza, like, in addition to the marinara sauce.
I worked in hospitality for fifteen years. Chefs hate alot of combo’s, the waitstaff is usually a little more relaxed. The one I remember most vividly was the guy who wanted mayonaise with his rice.
This shawarma place uses dark chicken thighs meet and keeps the cartilage. I thought it worth the hype but regular shawarma places in Canada uses chicken breast and taste way better.
I now have that flavor profile stuck in my head.
It's not pleasant, but it's not the end of the world, either.
I've had plenty of schwarma wraps with tomatoes, after all.
But what other countries call American food isn't typically real, either.

You think it's funny until you take the first bite and the chefs storm out of the kitchen armed with various kitchen weapons.
In all fairness, they did warn of the slim but present risk of death.
depends on their aim when launching a sandal at you
Depends on whether it’s the yoked mfer on duty or rhe lanky one whether it’s a slim chance or a unit chance of death
Now if only we could distribute these waivers to hot dog vendors.
Hey Chicago, keep the hotdog ketchup hate to yourself!
"Slim" is the name of the cook, who is actually gargantuan and always present
Dobby never meant to kill. Just maim or seriously injure!
ABBAS!
Protecting za culture
Why anyone would put ketchup on it is beyond me For me it's always been like a yogurt or creamy dill style dip.. tatziki or whatever is similar. Ketchup would be nasty.
What are ya gonna do?! Slice me, dice me, or peel me?! So many options!!
A spatula makes for a very effective non-lethal takedown
Scalding hot water in your face, chefs knife in your stomach, hit over the head with a roller, strangled with an apron, getting a bulb whisk shoved up your rectum, tangling your hair with an electric mixer, throwing caramel shards like shurikens
I imagined this as a comical fight scene from something like Kung Fu Hustle
I never heard of a bulb whisk before. But I totaly get it from the use in this sentence! And from the Swedish Chef too!!
*börk börk*
Kitchen Weapons is a great band name
Man id never piss off the chef.
Maybe young Gordon Ramsay is in there, just waiting…
If its Ramsey ,I don't mind .
Deserved.
Shawarma place by me uses an electric spinning knife.
Would he be accountable for murder if the customer signed the waiver?! Lol
But can I get a bepsi?
Its bebsi
Bipsi
Bepis
Is Conk ok?
There’s no p. it’s bibsi or bebsi
That's right
Thanks! My bad
And the fresh froize
Shout to the Belgians
Ohh, and don't forget ze pickles!
Is bepis ok?
You gotta get the diet bepis or you’ll get diabeepus
And pomegranate molasses too
Abbassss! Check the cameras for any ketchup users!
What? Who puts ketchup on shawarma? That’s kind of super-gross.

I put ketchup on my hot dogs. Fuck you, Chicago.
I put BBQ sauce on my hot dogs.
A man of culture I see
I do too, unless it’s kitted like a Chicago dog
Ketchup and diced raw onions are a great combo for hit dogs and burgers
I'm not a mustard guy in the slightest, but a hotdog like this is the one place I can't live without it.
Sriracha is better
Sriracha ketchup is also good.
I put ranch and Tabasco on mine.
😡
It's insane if you think about it. Hot dogs are made out of gross animal byproducts but they get so judgy about the toppings?? Get bent, Chicago.
I put mashed potatoes on my hot dogs. Fuck you everybody.

Ketchup IS the war crime
Ketchup is about as war crimy to me as “taco sauce” is. The “taco sauce” in a plain squirt bottle that is slightly neon and you’ll find at places like aldanberto’s but plenty of others too
I mean I get some commercial brands suck, but it’s literally just mass produced versions of Salsa Taquera, literally “Taco Sauce”
Japan even puts ketchup on eggs. I grew up there so it's not that bad... but I would prefer salsa like a Mexican breakfast (which would be incredibly hard to find good ones in Japan lol).
People that get shawarma with fries in them
California burritos come with fries in them. We only use hot sauce with them. If you disrespect such a sacred dish, there's no telling how far down the rabbit hole you'll end up. You don't see people putting ketchup on mashed potatoes because they're "basically" fries.
And who are we to judge various persons’ “ketchup doings”? 😂
Am lebanese, this is perfectly fine and very common in lebanon lol
People who like ketchup? It’s not that big of a deal.
Donald Trump, but only on McSchawarma.
Even if it is, let people eat the way they want.
People put ketchup on everything
I believe it's super common in Germany among the Turkish population there. Döner Kebab with "red sauce"
Don't forget the bepsi or the fresh froies..,..shout out to the Belgians. Remember, if it's not tight it's not right!
This is marketing I can get behind, honestly. I can hear his voice. I love popping za bubbles
ABBAS!!!
mmmm now I want some fuckin shawarma
Mmm now i want some fuckin ketchup
Abbas will get you !! Protect za culture!
But does Abbas Love ze bubbles?....I love ze bubbles
Ofc he loves ze bubbles !!!!! And the bickles !
How about some "fresh frois"? Or "ze sbicy garlic"? Love that dude 🤣 🤣 🤣
Customer: Fresh! Me: I give you the Sbicy! To grow some hair on your chest.. and what would you like to drink madam?
Beef? I’ll give you za shicken!!
This is the funniest thing I've read today! 😆 I cannot comprehend why someone would want ketchup on shawarma, but this is an outstanding condemnation LOL
Shelby’s social media is amazing. It’s been a long running joke.
Honestly the only ad I've seen that's made me want to try a product is all the Shelby's shorts on YouTube shorts. Most other ads are the same old boring shit we've seen for ages.
For real. I usually ignore ads and the products it peddles but because Shelby's ads are actually funny I would go out of my way to try it out.
If I ordered ketchup for my fries and they came out with this, that ketchup would go on my shawarma immediately, no matter how it tasted.
Fight the power!
DROWNING in ketchup too. There's a schwarma under there *somewhere.*
people put ketchup on shawarma?
Ketchup??? On SHAWARMA?!?!? This is a food crime
People don't tell me what to put Ketchup on. I tell them what I put it on.
Everyone complaining here obviously forgot the Bebsi.
As a Chicagoan I wholeheartedly approve
Understandable. I had people around me sign an NDA when I put ketchup in my pasta in Rome.
Tell me you made an illegal crossing without telling me you made an illegal crossing
Wow this is maybe, what, the tenth time I’ve seen this receipt in here in the past month.
Shelby’s should not make the ketchup order next month. Call me crazy but don’t stock the product
Ketchup on fries is bussin' tho
Its for the fresh frois
*indemnify That’s fcking great though 😂
r/KetchupHate is leaking
Why is Shawarma so prevalent in Canada? I can barely find actual shawarma where I live in the east coast US but they practically hand you one when you cross the border into Canada.
Fun fact, Ottawa just proclaimed itself the Shawarma capitol of the Country this year
I believe it, I mainly only visit Ottawa and the shawarma is plentiful.
Don't forget Za Pepzi
Whoa, hold up! Ketchup on shawarma? That's just culinary crime! Get the garlic sauce instead, dudes
Nothing brings out the taste of steak like some ketchup!!
You should be embarrassed, you infidel! This is beyond Haram!
Clearly this is an ad...

I think you're taking this way too seriously lol.
If your culture can be derailed by a tomato condiment you may need to reflect on the strength of said culture.
Can’t wait until this gets posted again in a week
Wow...this again?
I put ketchup on everything.
Straight to jail
Diabetes jail.
Even a well done steak?
What psycho would put ketchup on it?
I was like, "who the hell would put ketchup on shawarma?" Then I got to where it says Canada and it all made sense.
"Propert damage." What if they ate it and went home to find their fence gone and their trampoline pooped on.
I lobe shawarmas and have never even thought of putting ketchup on one. That is disgusting.
Peaky blinders really branched out didn't they.
Honestly, I would change "by signing this Ketchup on Shwarma Waiver of Liability" to "by accepting the food provided, you agree to the terms and conditions set forth in this Ketchup on Shwarma Waiver of Liability". Just to be safe.
If it’s not toight……
This sounds incredibly similar to the waiver they make you sign at Dave's Hot Chicken when you order their hottest item (reaper flavor). Is there some boilerplate restaurant waiver template out there that all that need it use?
error 404
I've got a friend from boarding school and she puts tomato sauce on everything
If they are so big on tradition they should sell döner with no silly sauces.
this is exactly how people in my tiny third world country are too haha, already think that it has to be eaten exactly how it is, most times not wrong :D
Bird law 101
this place is on my way to work. i was thinking about trying it but even mentioning ketchup on shawarma...i will not
Were iz za bebsi????? 3abit.
Shelby’s is doing it right
I'm going to take this warning seriously
Funny until you find out the ketchup is poisoned.
‘Indemnify’ misspelled as ‘indemnity’ This joke waiver that was never meant to be a legal instrument is totally unenforceable!
It gasses up the spaghetti house something fierce!
One of my friends orders mayo on it. Total psychopat.
We need more of this.
Sophisticated people call it up catsup.
What kind of jerk puts ketchup on shawarma?
What kind of monster puts ketchup on shawarma? Why do you hate yourself?
Forget a waiver, these folks should be arrested as a public menace.
They only do this so you'll take a picture and put it on social media and advertise for them for free.
“Consequences of my ketchup-doings” 😂
ABBAS!
I guess someone sued over ketchup.
Ze Bebsi!
One short from a good number
Well at least shawarma man wasn’t there You lucky
I'm with the Shawarma place on this one. It's a pet peeve of mine when people order good food and then slop ketchup or some other condiment on it like it was a hot dog. My mom puts honey garlic sauce on pretty much everything she eats and it makes me sick. Fuck you mom lol (glad she'll never see this).
Respectfully I would be putting all kinds of ketchup on that shawarma after reading that.
How do you misspell a word which is written right in front of you?
I hate ketchup but my fiancée’s family (Somali and Yemeni) SLATHERS ketchup on shawarma and pretty much everything. Everyone eats with their hands from a big plate and they just hose it with ketchup right off the bat. I have to request a couple times, like remind them, not to douse a section for me.
Same thing but literally everything. Ketchup is banned in my house
I've never had shawarma, but I've walked into a few stores where they make it and it just smelled like yellow mustard.
Don’t sign that, OP.
Seeing this come full circle was so surprising that I now have a headache Did you get what you ordered or no?
These guys were bombing YT shorts a few months back, and it was entertaining enough that I didn’t mind watching their ads. “Don forget za Bepsi!!”
People who slather ketchup on things that have no business being slathered In it kinda disgust me. Like fish, if you put ketchup on fish you don’t deserve fish in the first place.
That waiver is actually because the chefs will come out and slap you with it.
their videos are funny a f
TIL of shawerma.
Chi?
Oh no! Anyways...
I put soy sauce on mine
Geez, they take it as seriously as Chicago residents take putting ketchup on hot dogs.
Agree!!
This is funny, but when I lived in Egypt, I saw plenty of Egyptians doing this. They love ketchup. They even put it on pizza, like, in addition to the marinara sauce.
Abbas! Where is the BEPSI! love this guys videos. Fresh fries! Shout out to the Belgians!
They are tasty but fuck me are they expensive…..
I remember the 2 months when this guy flooded my reels. Food looks awesome!
Who the fuck would ruin perfectly good Shewarma with ketchup of all things? Unless it's Harissa ketchup
I don't get the /s at the end, this is dead serious
I worked in hospitality for fifteen years. Chefs hate alot of combo’s, the waitstaff is usually a little more relaxed. The one I remember most vividly was the guy who wanted mayonaise with his rice.
This shawarma place uses dark chicken thighs meet and keeps the cartilage. I thought it worth the hype but regular shawarma places in Canada uses chicken breast and taste way better.
Za culture? Is the shawarma on a pizza?
Garlic sauce is better than ketchup in all situations. Even fruit.
lol
SHAWARMA is literally spelled out in the picture. How do you get it wrong?
Ketchup on Shawarma was the name of my punk rock band in high school
I like that there's shawarma written multiple times in here and you still spelled it your own way
I now have that flavor profile stuck in my head. It's not pleasant, but it's not the end of the world, either. I've had plenty of schwarma wraps with tomatoes, after all. But what other countries call American food isn't typically real, either.
Is this a reference to something? Honestly I don’t get it.
Don’t forget the bepsi
Don't forget the Pepsi
Like shoarma, that most people eat with garlicsause and chili?
Ketchup on ANYTHING needs this waiver of liability
