What's your favorite ketchup?

(take it away)

A vacuum cleaner salesman insisted on showing me the latest model even though I told him I had no money.
He produced a bag of manure and stomped it into the carpet. Seeing my look of horror he said 'Don't worry. I'll eat the manure if this machine doesn't leave your carpet cleaner than before I arrived."
'Do you want ketchup with it?' I asked.
'Why?' said the salesman.
'Because I had my electricity cut off yesterday,' I replied.

That little packet of fast food ketchup thats been sliding back and forth across my dashboard at every turn for the past 3 years.....

Baron's Banana Ketchup - it's good for soothing taste buds and adding a bit of sweetness to spicy foods...particularly one of my favorites jerk chicken!

i think catsup was a condiment of british (at least euro) origin... it actually originally did not require tomatoes, as tomatoes were considered poisonous (we're talking like 18th century here)

in the u.s. i think we followed the british spelling "catsup" until the 1980's (?) when heinz decided to make it the phonetic spelling "ketchup."

this is all purely from the personal memory banks, it may be wildly innacurate.

Trader Joe's Organic Ketchup.

Originally ketchup was a Malay-Chinese fish sauce, but americans didn't like salty fermented fish sauce so they made it a sweet pureed tomato condiment.
