Patrick Mahomes Thanksgiving meal to include tomato ketchup on ham and turkey

Patrick Mahomes' love for ketchup is no surprise and the Kansas City Chiefs star has often spoken about how he adds the "condiment" to almost everything he eats including, mac and cheese. The 25-year-old also has an endorsement deal with Hunts, signed in December 2018.

However, last season's Super Bowl MVP raised his love for tomato ketchup by a notch after hinting that he'll be using it with his thanksgiving meal. Speaking to KCSP 610 Sports Radio on his plans for Thanksgiving, the 25-year-old revealed that he will use ketchup with his turkey and ham.

In an earlier interview with CBS Sports, Mahomes had talked about his love for ketchup, stating that there are just certain things he puts ketchup on that people don't like. The 25-year-old said that one doesn't have to put it on everything, but it does add a little flavour to certain things people won't try it on. The list includes include steak, mac and cheese, eggs and now Mahomes has safely added turkey and ham to it.

He also revealed that the gathering for Thanksgiving will be small due to the coronavirus pandemic, with only his brother Jackson Mahomes and Brittany Matthews attending. Matthews, Patrick Mahomes' fiancee, is expecting the couple's first child revealed to be a baby girl in October.
