Or ketchup. I remember a different, also unpopular, politician losing points with his base when they learned that he eats steak with ketchup on it. (He also had it cooked well-done, which is also a food crime.)
In fairness (not that I would offer any fairness to this particular person), I can't argue against putting ketchup on to a well-done steak in order to cover up the taste of the shoe-leather that has been left over after you MURDERED this wonderful piece of meat.
