sj are you saying that low class Italian familes would have/know pecorino romano cheese?
I think that they at least would say they had parmesan, or mozzarella, or something not ketchup.

sj are you saying that low class Italian familes would have/know pecorino romano cheese?
Yes, almost definitely. And I would probably count them as lower middle class, which is pretty close to what I grew up in.

Yes, this. Or they may have just called in romano. But ketchup on pasta of any kind, even macaroni and cheese, nsm.

Oh yeah! I remember reading about something filming with Elisabeth Moss and Gillian Anderson. I always notice GA news. My Scully crush will never die.

Admittedly I don't have a lot of experience with Italian-American families that maintain a strong Italian identity, but my impression is that when you have Nonna's recipe for marinara sauce ketchup isn't going to be bought for use in the home.

We had ketchup in our house, for french fries, but that is it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What goes on hamburgers and hot dogs?
I mean, I've never had ketchup on pasta, but it still finds a use or two.

Yes, hamburger's and hot dogs too. I didn't really eat them that much at home growing up, other than at maybe one or two cookouts a summer.

Do a lot of people put ketchup on pasta? Of any ethnicity? I've honestly never heard that (though I have heard of using it as an ingredient, as a shortcut to tomato paste/sugar/vinegar/salt--but never by itself).
