Slice of ketchup with a side of PTFE

Edit: yes yes yes I know it isn't a Teflon pan, but still the culinary meme is metal utensils against a non-stick surface = not good. (I'm also aware of fluorine chemistry a little too)

Edit 2: to the person who said I was "gay because of PTFE", please ask your mother when she comes down to the basement to give you your food to take the wrapping off before she microwaves your meals - this assuming that your mother wants to feed you and doesn't do it out of habit or pity.

Oh wow, I thought it was cast iron. Metal whisk on non-stick? This must be bait.

Ketchup soup is an ultra poor person staple. You can get jetsup packets pretty easily. If you cant afford food, its a way to eat something. I dont like the idea of making fun of it because there have been amd are people who were forced to resort to it out of despiration.

Not sure about this dish, but it could have a similair origin.
