This is a long read but I am sure it is well written. I thought I would share for people with the patience to read so we can talk catsup. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2004 ... -conundrum

I am a couple paragraphs in and I will finish it, eventually. Anticipation is making me wait.

I rarely use the stuff. When I do it has to be cold.

My dearly departed sister in law used to eat ketchup sammiches as a kid. Dear Sweetie puts the stuff on everything. In our younger years, three spices sat on the table at each meal; salt, pepper, and ketchup.

If I use Ketchup,which is once in a blue moon I use Heinz.The history channel had a great show on how Henry Heinz got started.

I stumbled across heinz "simply ketchup" recently. Apparently there's no artificial sweeteners in it or some such. I just bought it because it was on a good sale. Seems to be a bit more flavorful and possibly even a little spicy compared to the usual fare

We stopped using ketchup for the most part, but we do have this in the fridge and you're right, it's very good.

Yeah, I don't use much ketchup at all. Make "secret sauce" with it and stuff like that. I did mix a splash of El Yucateco into some the last time I made onion rings in the air fryer and it was awesome

"A typical five-year-old consumes about sixty per cent more ketchup than a typical forty-year-old." I just read this in an article about ketchup. I am 57 and I hardly ever eat ketchup. I like it but I rarely eat anything that pairs well with it.

I eat much more mustard than the typical five-year-old.

You're 57 and heinz has 57 on every bottle. Coincidence? I think not

I love Hienz 57 Sauce. I also rarely taste it. I only like it on baked potatoes with lots of butter, salt, and black pepper. This is not Mrs. King food so I have not enjoyed it for awhile. I have been eyeing it in my grocer's aisle recently.
