Go and get your bottle of Heinz catsup and look at the label. Christmas Eve, we discovered a label
on the catsup bottle that said," Use for burnt weiners".

I'm waiting for Sheldon's response to this one....... (Here we go!)

Upon reading further, Heinz is running a contest and the winners get their slogan on the bottle
for various uses of the stuff as well as their names and their residential state. Then, report
back here. Yes, I know I'm easily entertained but I already knew that or I wouldn't be posting
to UNSENT.

They did something similar a couple of years ago. I was looking for chili sauce (if the store had
it, it was not by the ketchup), but it forced me to stand in front of the ketchup and pay attention.
I forget what one caught my eye, maybe it said Put me on your hot dog. Something like that.

Well, I told a friend about it over the phone, she didn't believe me so I brought it to her New
Year's Eve party. People were actually doing taste tests to see if it was the same ketchup or
something different. Funny.

BAck a few years...like 70 plus or more. "SAUCES" were made to "cover the taste" of "AGED"
(rotted"😉 meats and other not so fresh items as the WORD: "Organic" had yet to appear in either
print or in the Grocery stores. We today are VERY fortunate that FINALLY really fresh foods, due
to the speed of delivery, can be enjoyed rather than shipped by plethoric "coops" of the past.
"health" is more enjoyed today than ever and it IS bugging the Money Hungry "allopathic" gender
who are now relying on funky drugs to cause funky "side effects" ( as in the commercials that
you hear about "side efects" that are WORSE than that which SUPPOSED to be cured??? LMAO!!!
Allopatism has indeed become a JOKE surpassing all BAD humor! GARDENS are appearing
everywhere...any small and "fertile" plot can be used to produce delightful repasts! SIC:
Radisches that AUTOMATICALLY BALANCE the Thyroids. Even the Lowly Dandelion is beginning to be
recognised as one of the MOST valuable herbals on EARTH! ( along with all of its' cousins like
the Thistle family as well as good old Alfalfa sprouts that contain ALL the essential Amino
Acids as do the lowly cucumber as well. The CHINES KNEW this long ago!! LOL!...what do we do to
lawns repleat with "dandelions",,, I shudder to hear the IGNORANCE_DRIVEN TRUTH! These "weeds"
automatically control eye pressure among many other wonderful and NATURAL JOBS created by Mother
Nature!! (such as heal Livers screwed up by vaporous cleaners and sovents)

Astralagus from China and elsewhere actually have a HUMAN enzyme in their roots: "Glucoronic Acid"
that which removes toxins from the liver and carries them safely THROUGH the kidneys! AGAIN: "HOY-VEH-
Gevaldt!" MOMMA Nature Provided ALL the green and living things we NEED to be healthy and strong
as well as DISEASE FREE despite our Gov't coming up with a "yearly" "child killing FLU" bugs
yearly in the LAB at a secret base in Maryland. ( been there,seen same) B-ob1

You know, I've been wondering about this for ages and never bothered to actually ask about it, but:
I remember years ago reading books as a sprout, that taught me that *catsup* was the proper spelling
and I remember the first time I saw it spelled *ketchup" on a pack from some restaurant. I remember
then thinking that it was mispelled. But now, all the bottles seem to be marked as *ketchup*. Does
anyone else remember the original spelling or know when it became the latter? I'm assuming it was
one of those commonly used words that eventually got incorporated into a printed edition of a
dictionary. Or, was I just reading really poorly written books?

Terri BTW, did you complete your trip to Utah? If so, what did you find to do for fun and what
did you eat?

I believe it's a transliteration from the Dutch, and just as foreign names are often transliterated
differently (e.g., Mohammed versus Muhamad versus whatever), this word got transliterated
differently.

Read some really old cookbooks. Those written in the late mid to late 1700's spell it 'catsup' and
in fact, it was originally made with mushrooms.

Stan is just a Ketchup fanatic 🙂

I went looking for some information on this, as you can see there it's a varied topic and shrouded
in mystery.. recipesource.comrec0177.htmlOpen ↗ word-detective.combackOpen ↗
d.html A small excerpt from the latter one:

Dear Evan: I wrote an essay for my English class recently in which I mentioned "french fries and
ketchup." My teacher changed the spelling to "catsup." I went home and looked in the refrigerator
and the bottle says "ketchup." My dictionary lists both as acceptable, but which is more correct?

Neither spelling, "catsup" or "ketchup", is more correct than the other. The only difference I know
of is that people who strive too hard for correctness invariably seem to prefer "catsup." Perhaps
they imagine that there is some connection with "cat's supper," but anyone who has dealt with cats
wouldn't dream of trying to feed them ketchup.

Human beings, on the other hand, love catsup. Americans eat it, according to a recent article in
Vogue, at the rate of three bottles per person per year. But the original ketchup bore little
resemblance to what might be called our national sauce. The words "ketchup" and "catsup" both come
from the Malay word "kechap," from the Chinese word "ketsiap," a sauce made from fermented fish and
brine. Pickled fish sauce may not sound all that appealing on french fries, but the Malay word
"kechap" itself really only meant "taste." After the word migrated into English in the 17th century
(as "catchup," still an accepted spelling), it was applied to a variety of sauces and condiments. It
was only with the importation of the tomato to Europe from its native habitat in South America that
what we now know as ketchup was born. Modern ketchup is made of tomato sauce, vinegar, sugar and
spices, and not a speck, thank heavens, of pickled fish.

Also this one: cynicalrantings.blogspot.com2003 09 01 cynicalrantings archive.htmlOpen ↗

I'm not sure I like the last two, as if I use the word "catsup", I'm either old, or I strive too
hard for correctness.

I simply cannot have either of those afflictions. It's Not Allowed.

Mine says "Comforts Burnt Hot Dogs" And to me, it's "ketchup," not "catsup."
