I'm no ketchup connoisseur, so I tend to go for store brand, or packets at whatever fast food place. But oh man, I'm laughing so hard just watching Max try to get that first fry into the ketchup!
I like heiz but there are some pretty good european brands too, like Kotlin tomato ketchup. It's a Polish brand I grew up with, a little sweeter than Heiz but also with a slight peppery burn.
@@KetchupwithMaxandJose You know what's an age old remedy for that?? …Ketchup! Also cocaine, amphetamines, and Indian hemp extract. Hmm, now it feels like those old ads might have been dishonest...

A couple things: curry isn’t always spicy, even in India. Also, banana ketchup is commonly used for French fries but more famously used for lumpia or sio pao.
The million/billion thing is the difference between the long scale and the short scale. In the short scale (which the US uses), every "-illion" after a million is 1000x more. In the long scale (used by some Spanish, French, and Italian speaking locations) every "-illion" after million is 1 million times more. There are other systems too (like the lakh and crore used in Indian counting), but I'm not familiar enough with the specifics to confidently explain it. There's a map on the wikipedia article for "long and short scales" that shows distribution of the two.
Strictly speaking, these are not number systems but naming conventions. Actual scientists use exponentials. I met professors at MIT who never used the Latin-derived names past a quadrillion. And even Carl Sagan famously said "billions and billions." And I always remember Sen. Everett Dirksen and his statement, "You know how it is; you spend a million here and a million there, and pretty soon it starts to add up to real money." (I personally don't have that problem.)
The best ketchup I ever had was at a lovely hotel in Manitou Springs, Colorado. They make it in house and the best way to describe it is Heinz turned up to 11. The flavor was so vibrant and rich and even the color was more intense and crimson. And I can't believe I'm sitting here waxing nostalgic for a condiment. Great episode as always!
I made it from his recipe. It’s good. It is more of an ingredient than a sauce/ketchup though. I thickened it with a little cornstarch so I could use it on top of meat. Very nice.
It was bugging me because I knew I’d heard about it somewhere - there was a documentary on the history of major food brands, and mushroom ketchup or relish was basically the inspiration for Heinz to make an improved product. It wasn’t used for dipping fries, you would pour some on bland food such as chops.
Max's "not spicy" Irish stew comment made me laugh remembering an incident my senior year in college, when one of my roommates decided to spice up our usual house stew (Betty Crocker recipe) with dried Chinese chilis. It looked completely harmless but it was SO hot!
In turn, your recollection makes another one resurface to my mind. Italy, here. Dining out at a Mexican restaurant. The main course is gone and a friend sees that I haven't eaten the hot chili - I mean a whole one - which had clearly been placed as a decoration. Stating: "You shouldn't waste food" he just grabs it and chews it whole. It was some habanero, and he dearly paid for it... I've never seen anyone sweating like that and turning that red.
The History Channel podcast "The Food that Built America" just released their episode on Heinz and his ketchup!! It was destiny that you are doing a ketchup based episode!

I bought an air fryer SPECIFICALLY for cold fries. Pop those suckers in there and they are back to crispiness. Edit: fun fact, Filipino banana ketchup started being mass produced in the 40s during a tomato shortage
In Denmark (and many other European countries, I believe) a billion is called a milliard. Instead of going million, billion, trillion etc, we go million, milliard, billion, billiard, trillion, trilliard etc. So a danish billion would be a trillion in english, which can get confusing when translating.
Numberphile did an excellent video on this. English speakers use what is called the short scale, and speakers of other languages add the -ard suffix to the short scale, and use what is called the long scale.
It's the same things for French ! I was so confused when I started to learned English, haha ! In French it's milliard too, so at first I would just pronounce it but with a French accent 😅

About every 3 posts either through Instagram or TH-cam, I mention how much I adore y’all. Here I am again wishing you peace and love. Keep up the good work.
The Victorian ketchup and Worcestershire reminded me that there is a "Victorian Apothecary" series that goes over Worcestershire being discovered by Lee and Perrins by mistake as a cure all that was ... just terrible but accidentally fermented it and it became a condiment. Ruth Goodman who does the The Tudor Monestary, Victorian, Edwardian, Wartime "Farm" series with the pair of archeologists is in the Apothecary series. They also make fireworks and use live leeches.
Thanks for another great episode. Hello from Nova Scotia. Love both your channels.❤ My name is Josee and my partner's name is Max so I think we were meant to find you guys 😋. Keep up the good work 🙂
Someone has probably already said but mushroom ketchup is for adding to things like stews or casseroles for extra flavour. It's delicious :) Love from 🇬🇧
Max: "It was more like, 'what is in my mouth?!' I've said that before. Um...". Me: "Same, Max. S A M E." 😅😂💀 Also: I do not care for ketchup, aside from on burgers, so I like to dip fries in horseradish sauce, smoky mayo, or, my favorite, (don't be mad) honey mustard.
It was SO great to finally see you on camera, Jose! On the 1 year anniversary Q & A vid.. a really neat surprise.. I have no idea why you avoid it as you are such a cutie! Totally can see what Max sees and you both make a beautiful couple! Both visually and in personality (which is why I love your ketchup vids).. thanks so much for sharing that chemistry between you two and also both of your creativity and passions as well with us!
@@KetchupwithMaxandJose oh I caught those too but the one year vid was like a surprise reveal after the out of focus photo teases for me as that was the first i saw.. hehe. it was like, wait, who's that? is that?? YES!!! (we are the champions plays by Queen and that one soccer announcer goes GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL! while shots of Neil Armstrong getting out of the Lunar Landar and one stepping for all mankind go off in my head.. yes, I am a very silly silly hyperbolic man.) hahaha..
I live in England. Traditionally a British 'Billion' was a million million (or a Trillion), but we don't use that any more, and these days when we say a billion we mean a thousand million, just like in the USA. I believe the government actually agreed to change the definition in UK English to the international standard back in the 1970's in order to avoid confusion. There'd be real potential for trouble if people couldn't agree on e.g. how much a debt of a billion dollars actually was. There are probably a few older people who still stand by the older definition, but most British people use the modern one. So Max is about half right there.
Omg I have never found anyone who likes heinz ketchup as much as me! People used to make fun of me growing up because I would even eat ketchup with steak or quesadillas
i have a dear friend who puts heinz ketchup on nearly everything. so i tried some of the combinations he likes (because i love heinz, too), and i found that he was right--it brightens up the flavor of many, many foods! the one that surprised me most was a veggie cheese sub (think vegetarian version of philly cheesesteak, which he eats but i don't)--i was shocked at how good such a nice crusty american-italian-style sub tastes with a healthy smattering of heinz. :)
Hello fellow ketchup-lover, might I suggest ketchup mixed in with your Mac ‘n Cheese? It’s so good! My kids are grossed out every time I do it, but then I point out that they eat ketchup with cheese on hamburgers, soooo...
My husband isn't particular about anything. I changed his soap, shampoo, laundry detergent, most things, hevdrew the line at his Heinz Ketchup, I don't like ketchup, so I don't care, Heinz it is. But I do prefer Hellmans for Mayo.
You know how kids are picky? Well I was a picky eater but also LOVED ketchup. I ate it on everything, chicken nuggets, Mac n cheese, vegetables, even on...WATERMELON! I don't remember much of that now, I was so young, but now I could take or leave it, there are so many good condiments that ketchup is just ok to me now. Although I am interested in the banana ketchup they showed :)
This is AMAZING!!! I am living for this. You guys are my favorite!! I grew up drinking that cordial, my gran used to make it for us as a treat on really hot days.
I love that you tried to get one over on him. :D Also, was it just me or did Max sound scandalized that you admitted to sleeping on the Pokemon bed? LOL I love these episodes, but don't burn yourself out. :)
This was amazing! I always learn something new... who knew there were such fabulous flavors? Good for you, Jose, for finding them! Very brave of you, Max, for blindly tasting them!
Love all these episodes so much (though I’m late to the party, I apologise. I am catching up!). As an Aussie, I really appreciate the Bundaberg drink. And If anyone cares to know, and it really doesn’t matter, but the “Bun” is pronounced as in “hot cross bun.” Bun-Da-Berg 🇦🇺. Their ginger beer was my late husband’s most favourite drink❣️
@@Saezimmerman I've made fry sauce before, but not because I wanted a "mild ketchup", but rather because sometimes I just don't care for a ton of tomato flavor. I will say, I do also mix ketchup with hot sauce to dip my tostones (twice-fried plantain slices) in.
@@KetchupwithMaxandJose Yup it's the last one of those I don't have yet, thank goodness for the Dynamax Adventures The shiny Sky Daddies you're transfering are from pogo?
Back when I owned a French bistro, we cooked our fries in duck fat. Since I have a horror of seeing someone pour ketchup all over fabulous food, we made our ketchup out of blueberries. Same spices and vinegars as tomato ketchup. At home I keep good ole Heinz ketchup for my grandson. Now I’m jonesing to try the pumpkin ketchup.
Which spices and vinegars Rhonda? I tried a few different ketchup recipes last year and they got them so wrong, but I wasn’t certain what they were missing. I’d love to make a really tasty ketchup that isn’t full of sugar and garbage.
@@moniquem783 Honestly, I looked up some recipes online and compared them to the ingredients listed on a bottle of Heinz ketchup. Then I just experimented until I liked the flavour. I let it cook (simmer)for a couple of hours like you would with jam or jelly so there was plenty of time for adjusting ingredients.
@@rhondacrosswhite8048 okay I’ll give that a go. There’s a product here called EziSauce which is vinegar and most spices and I liked that when I made it so I’ll see if I can find out what’s in that too. I suspect the key to success is to write absolutely everything down when adjusting so it can be recreated once you get it right.
@@moniquem783 Just keep tasting as you add spices and I know you’ll be happy with it. Yep, weigh everything as you add them so you can repeat it. If you weigh in grams it’s easier to add up than oz measurements. I went to cooking school in France so we weighed everything metrically and to me it’s easier and more accurate. Just have fun with it.
Yesssssss! I was so happy curry ketchup made a cameo! I tried it when I was visiting family in the Netherlands, and oh my gosh I loved it! When I returned to the US I just *HAD* to take a bottle of it home with me.
I'm addicted to your channel!!!! I was waiting for your next video today! I've been watching older episodes of Tasting History to bridge me over 😄😸😸😸😸😸!
AHA! That is from "Singin' In The Rain" when Gene Kelly falls into Debbie Reynolds' car after escaping his crazed fans and she then drops off Kelly after getting in the last word. :D. Hmmm, wonder if Max will ever have that happen to him (have to race away from crazed fans?)
@@stephaniecowans3646 oh? I was wondering what Sunset and Camden meant! I've never seen "Singing in the rain" in English! Only other languages, that is probably why I didn't get the joke! Thank you for explaining! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
As one of the people who requested a ketchup episode of Tasting History *explicitly* for a Ketchup with Max and Jose episode about ketchup... This is all I wanted and more.
darn you--now i'm going to have to order all the ketchups Himself liked!! XD srsly, though--this was great fun! and i hope Himself didn't get an upset tum-tum. :)
Twinsies! This was also the year I finally sprang for a tricorn. I had a small cheapie one - Jack Sparrow size - but it didn't look substantial enough for my Venice carnivale cosplay costumes. I needed a Admiral Norrington size one and I found one from - not surprisingly - from Venice!! It's huge and I love it. I wish I had more occasions to wear it.
Work has been utter hell lately and I have had NO time for anything. Coming back to your videos is a serious stress relief. You and Jose remain absolutely adorable together. I have no ketchup in my home. I have beer mustard and yellow mustard in my fridge. Don't hate me. :D I also dimly recall something about wood pulp or filler in ketchup and they could only confidently advertise it being "wood free" in the 30's or 40's or something like that. Take it with salt and all that. Miss you guys. So glad I wandered back. Cheers.
Heinz, because there are no other kinds. (Although we have French's here in Canada and it tastes pretty much the same as Heinz). What I found interesting about ketchup is that the name is for a certain style of sauce. Tomato was just the big runaway winner. I have a recipe book that has a grape ketchup along with a couple other ones.
Mushroom ketchup can be found in old recipe books, I've got a 17th century English one and the first time I read it I was flabbergasted. I've since learned that mushroom ketchup was a condiment that would go into a lot of other foods, like pies, and which was replaced by tomato ketchup in the late 19th century. It's actually really great to have, you can pep up all sorts of food with it. I've got a bottle of the same stuff you have here, but once I finish it I'm planning on making my own.
Haha ~ this was fun. Nice to switch up the format sometimes. And I like how you snuck the Heinz back into the testing. My current ketchup is Woodstock Organic, purchased on sale. I'm no connoisseur, lol. Thanks for another entertaining episode! 😊 🍅🍟
I'm sure there are actual Filipino viewers who can back me on this (I'm about as white as it's possible to get), but banana ketchup is a versatile condiment. Fries, yeah, and even burgers or other applications you'd usually encounter the tomato based stuff, but it's frequently also paired with lumpia (essentially a deep-fried eggroll but with a very very thin, shattering-crisp wrapper). I haven't encountered it, which is weird because I grew up eating at a couple different Filipino restaurants in my town. Both of them paired lumpia with either sweet-and-sour sauce or a 50/50 mix of soy sauce and rice wine vinegar. I prefer the latter, personally.
Have you tried plum ketchup? I made it a couple of years ago and I love it, and make a batch in the summer when plums are plentiul. But, full disclosure, I do not generally eat ketchup (or mayo). I put mustard on my burger, with BBQ sauce in the summer, and eat my fries (when I do eat fries) with ranch. But plum ketchup is an exception, and I do use it as an ingredient in other things, as well. I don't know any ready made versions, but there are several recipes online. Love the show, even if you don't like mustard.
The history of Ketchup is really interesting! Townsends video on it is great, but we totally need a Tasting History about it. Also, the Ketchup tasting was really fun!
What's everyone's ketchup go to? And sorry, no mustard allowed in this home :P
I'm no ketchup connoisseur, so I tend to go for store brand, or packets at whatever fast food place. But oh man, I'm laughing so hard just watching Max try to get that first fry into the ketchup!
Uhhh the ones in the bottles... jk I like Snowfloss ketchup but I can’t find it anymore
I like heiz but there are some pretty good european brands too, like Kotlin tomato ketchup. It's a Polish brand I grew up with, a little sweeter than Heiz but also with a slight peppery burn.
Heinz cos it's a classic. The seaside slightly sweeter cheap ketchup is good with burgers.
red gold it is the go to from Chicago hot dog stands (not on hot dogs)
Definitely need to work on that history of ketchup episode. Maybe for the summer.
In my Linguistics class, I found out that the word Ketchup was originally a Chinese word. Or so the Oxford English Dictionary told me...
I was so worried the combo of ketchups would give Max an upset tummy 😂
@@KetchupwithMaxandJose You know what's an age old remedy for that?? …Ketchup! Also cocaine, amphetamines, and Indian hemp extract. Hmm, now it feels like those old ads might have been dishonest...

Lol, I thought i would give him a break and not do 2x spicy ones back to back mwahahha. And i'm going to update the subs on this one. I slightly tweaked the auto-generated ones but I had to get to work. I'm so tired!
I’m sorry, but how is everyone not commenting how adorable Max looks with his mask on
About every 3 posts either through Instagram or TH-cam, I mention how much I adore y’all. Here I am again wishing you peace and love. Keep up the good work.
I'll take it! Thanks for the support
I loved the look on Max’s face when carrot sticks were mentioned 🤣
I heard you on the podcast. I kept yelling at it having too much fun. I love banana ketchup mixed with mayonnaise. This was an excellent episode.
Ugh you two are such a disgustingly cute amazing couple. I hope I have a relationship like you two in my future ;).
The Victorian ketchup and Worcestershire reminded me that there is a "Victorian Apothecary" series that goes over Worcestershire being discovered by Lee and Perrins by mistake as a cure all that was ... just terrible but accidentally fermented it and it became a condiment. Ruth Goodman who does the The Tudor Monestary, Victorian, Edwardian, Wartime "Farm" series with the pair of archeologists is in the Apothecary series. They also make fireworks and use live leeches.
I am living for the tiny pikachu with the ketchup bottle
He's so cute. I need a bigger version of it, or a plush I would die for
Ketchup with Max and Jose is gonna become the new Good Mythical Morning.
The way GMM is turning into a foodie show, you might be correct.
Thanks for another great episode. Hello from Nova Scotia. Love both your channels.❤ My name is Josee and my partner's name is Max so I think we were meant to find you guys 😋. Keep up the good work 🙂
Awww, special shot of Jose at the end there! Hi Jose!
Ello!
@@KetchupwithMaxandJose You have a face and a body and everything!
Just listened to the podcast with Josh and Nicole last night. Most epic crossover ever!
Someone has probably already said but mushroom ketchup is for adding to things like stews or casseroles for extra flavour. It's delicious :) Love from 🇬🇧
This was great! You guys are a lot of fun.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Max: "It was more like, 'what is in my mouth?!' I've said that before. Um...".
Me: "Same, Max. S A M E." 😅😂💀
Also: I do not care for ketchup, aside from on burgers, so I like to dip fries in horseradish sauce, smoky mayo, or, my favorite, (don't be mad) honey mustard.
Have you guys watched "super sizers go" it's on Amazon it's a must watch if you're into the history of food and enjoy laughing at horrifying things
Max loves it, I’ll have to check em out
Glad to watch this before i go to sleep early. I have to get up and shovel snow tomorrow morning. Stay warm! 💙
I’m surprised there wasn’t a Heinz -Hunts showdown! Fun episode!
What a fun episode Jose !! A great way to start off "season 2". I look forward to more awesome episodes!
Awe thank you! episode 12 hopefully tomorrow? 😅
Such a trickster with #4. Damnit you guys are adorable, I’m jealous.
It was SO great to finally see you on camera, Jose! On the 1 year anniversary Q & A vid.. a really neat surprise.. I have no idea why you avoid it as you are such a cutie! Totally can see what Max sees and you both make a beautiful couple! Both visually and in personality (which is why I love your ketchup vids).. thanks so much for sharing that chemistry between you two and also both of your creativity and passions as well with us!
You’re kind 🥰 I make an appearance quickly in the last 3 videos hehe just for a second only tho’
@@KetchupwithMaxandJose oh I caught those too but the one year vid was like a surprise reveal after the out of focus photo teases for me as that was the first i saw.. hehe. it was like, wait, who's that? is that?? YES!!! (we are the champions plays by Queen and that one soccer announcer goes GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL! while shots of Neil Armstrong getting out of the Lunar Landar and one stepping for all mankind go off in my head.. yes, I am a very silly silly hyperbolic man.) hahaha..
by the way, did I accidentally just describe Max's whole covid lockdown experience in my joking flight of fancy? lol.
I live in England. Traditionally a British 'Billion' was a million million (or a Trillion), but we don't use that any more, and these days when we say a billion we mean a thousand million, just like in the USA. I believe the government actually agreed to change the definition in UK English to the international standard back in the 1970's in order to avoid confusion. There'd be real potential for trouble if people couldn't agree on e.g. how much a debt of a billion dollars actually was. There are probably a few older people who still stand by the older definition, but most British people use the modern one. So Max is about half right there.
Sriracha ketchup is the best! It is the hill I am willing to die on. The blind fold is adorable.
"am I dipping? Am I dipping?!" 🤣
Heinz with mayo is my jam!
The version where José feeds Max the fries should be on Onlyfans. You can keep the blindfold on 😏
Haha I’m telling u it’s goin on OnlyFlans
Omg I have never found anyone who likes heinz ketchup as much as me! People used to make fun of me growing up because I would even eat ketchup with steak or quesadillas
i have a dear friend who puts heinz ketchup on nearly everything. so i tried some of the combinations he likes (because i love heinz, too), and i found that he was right--it brightens up the flavor of many, many foods! the one that surprised me most was a veggie cheese sub (think vegetarian version of philly cheesesteak, which he eats but i don't)--i was shocked at how good such a nice crusty american-italian-style sub tastes with a healthy smattering of heinz. :)
Hello fellow ketchup-lover, might I suggest ketchup mixed in with your Mac ‘n Cheese? It’s so good! My kids are grossed out every time I do it, but then I point out that they eat ketchup with cheese on hamburgers, soooo...
@@madmigraineur3815 ooooooo! that sounds yummy!
My husband isn't particular about anything. I changed his soap, shampoo, laundry detergent, most things, hevdrew the line at his Heinz Ketchup, I don't like ketchup, so I don't care, Heinz it is.
But I do prefer Hellmans for Mayo.
You know how kids are picky? Well I was a picky eater but also LOVED ketchup. I ate it on everything, chicken nuggets, Mac n cheese, vegetables, even on...WATERMELON! I don't remember much of that now, I was so young, but now I could take or leave it, there are so many good condiments that ketchup is just ok to me now. Although I am interested in the banana ketchup they showed :)
This is AMAZING!!! I am living for this. You guys are my favorite!! I grew up drinking that cordial, my gran used to make it for us as a treat on really hot days.
Max keeps saying he baked a cake🎂 and I keep getting happy cuz it's my Birthday today!! Thank you, Max! 👍👍❤️❤️😆
Aww, happy burfday!
@@KetchupwithMaxandJose Thank you so much!!
I love that you tried to get one over on him. :D Also, was it just me or did Max sound scandalized that you admitted to sleeping on the Pokemon bed? LOL I love these episodes, but don't burn yourself out. :)
He's silly. Max needs to let drunk me sleep wherever he wants :)
This was amazing! I always learn something new... who knew there were such fabulous flavors? Good for you, Jose, for finding them! Very brave of you, Max, for blindly tasting them!
Love all these episodes so much (though I’m late to the party, I apologise. I am catching up!).
As an Aussie, I really appreciate the Bundaberg drink. And If anyone cares to know, and it really doesn’t matter, but the “Bun” is pronounced as in “hot cross bun.” Bun-Da-Berg 🇦🇺. Their ginger beer was my late husband’s most favourite drink❣️
Of course, living in the Midwest, people will say that regular ketchup is spicy. Madness, I tell you.
Fry sauce is a concoction that I've never been brave enough to try, but that's how I first found out that some people consider ketchup spicy...
@@Saezimmerman I've made fry sauce before, but not because I wanted a "mild ketchup", but rather because sometimes I just don't care for a ton of tomato flavor. I will say, I do also mix ketchup with hot sauce to dip my tostones (twice-fried plantain slices) in.
Commenting for the algorithm
I'll watch it later
Hunting Tapu Bulu
Ooh, shiny? I still need the Tapu's shiny :( Just got the weather trio shiny so just transferring those over
@@KetchupwithMaxandJose Yup it's the last one of those I don't have yet, thank goodness for the Dynamax Adventures
The shiny Sky Daddies you're transfering are from pogo?
Back when I owned a French bistro, we cooked our fries in duck fat. Since I have a horror of seeing someone pour ketchup all over fabulous food, we made our ketchup out of blueberries. Same spices and vinegars as tomato ketchup. At home I keep good ole Heinz ketchup for my grandson. Now I’m jonesing to try the pumpkin ketchup.
Blueberry? 🤩
Which spices and vinegars Rhonda? I tried a few different ketchup recipes last year and they got them so wrong, but I wasn’t certain what they were missing. I’d love to make a really tasty ketchup that isn’t full of sugar and garbage.
@@moniquem783 Honestly, I looked up some recipes online and compared them to the ingredients listed on a bottle of Heinz ketchup. Then I just experimented until I liked the flavour. I let it cook (simmer)for a couple of hours like you would with jam or jelly so there was plenty of time for adjusting ingredients.
@@rhondacrosswhite8048 okay I’ll give that a go. There’s a product here called EziSauce which is vinegar and most spices and I liked that when I made it so I’ll see if I can find out what’s in that too. I suspect the key to success is to write absolutely everything down when adjusting so it can be recreated once you get it right.
@@moniquem783 Just keep tasting as you add spices and I know you’ll be happy with it. Yep, weigh everything as you add them so you can repeat it. If you weigh in grams it’s easier to add up than oz measurements. I went to cooking school in France so we weighed everything metrically and to me it’s easier and more accurate. Just have fun with it.
Jufran banana sauce was on every table at the Naval Amphibious Base where I was stationed for 2 years. In San Diego. Good stuff!
Yesssssss! I was so happy curry ketchup made a cameo! I tried it when I was visiting family in the Netherlands, and oh my gosh I loved it! When I returned to the US I just *HAD* to take a bottle of it home with me.
I'm addicted to your channel!!!! I was waiting for your next video today! I've been watching older episodes of Tasting History to bridge me over 😄😸😸😸😸😸!
Haha, I needed a little break cus work's been busy but finally here we aaaaare, Sunset and Camden
AHA! That is from "Singin' In The Rain" when Gene Kelly falls into Debbie Reynolds' car after escaping his crazed fans and she then drops off Kelly after getting in the last word. :D. Hmmm, wonder if Max will ever have that happen to him (have to race away from crazed fans?)
@@stephaniecowans3646 oh? I was wondering what Sunset and Camden meant! I've never seen "Singing in the rain" in English! Only other languages, that is probably why I didn't get the joke! Thank you for explaining! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
How to get rid of all billionaires?
A: Adopt long scale
As one of the people who requested a ketchup episode of Tasting History *explicitly* for a Ketchup with Max and Jose episode about ketchup... This is all I wanted and more.
Oops I skipped ahead 🥫
Okay I just put in the first comment to say hello. Blindfolded Max with a fuzzy bear mask is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while.
we found our air fryer is the perfect thing for reheating french fries in a good way.
Agree! So bulky tho
The eye mask is adorkable. :)
This was such a fun episode! Worth the wait! Max, I love the hat! Happy early birthday!!
Great episode, way to go Jose! I love the banana sauce with a grilled cheese sandwich, so good!
Fun episode! You both always make me laugh! Looking forward to Egyptian beer! 😃
darn you--now i'm going to have to order all the ketchups Himself liked!! XD
srsly, though--this was great fun! and i hope Himself didn't get an upset tum-tum. :)
I was worried about that too
Twinsies! This was also the year I finally sprang for a tricorn. I had a small cheapie one - Jack Sparrow size - but it didn't look substantial enough for my Venice carnivale cosplay costumes. I needed a Admiral Norrington size one and I found one from - not surprisingly - from Venice!! It's huge and I love it. I wish I had more occasions to wear it.
Oh my god I love the Tom Nook blindfold! Looks so cute on Max :)
Waiting eagerly for more Ketchup with Max and Jose! :)
As soon as I can shake the Covid off and my second chin 😅
Work has been utter hell lately and I have had NO time for anything. Coming back to your videos is a serious stress relief. You and Jose remain absolutely adorable together.
I have no ketchup in my home. I have beer mustard and yellow mustard in my fridge. Don't hate me. :D
I also dimly recall something about wood pulp or filler in ketchup and they could only confidently advertise it being "wood free" in the 30's or 40's or something like that. Take it with salt and all that.
Miss you guys. So glad I wandered back. Cheers.
Welcome back :) life has been busy too, new episode in morning though hehe 💝
Heinz, because there are no other kinds. (Although we have French's here in Canada and it tastes pretty much the same as Heinz). What I found interesting about ketchup is that the name is for a certain style of sauce. Tomato was just the big runaway winner. I have a recipe book that has a grape ketchup along with a couple other ones.
Mushroom ketchup can be found in old recipe books, I've got a 17th century English one and the first time I read it I was flabbergasted. I've since learned that mushroom ketchup was a condiment that would go into a lot of other foods, like pies, and which was replaced by tomato ketchup in the late 19th century. It's actually really great to have, you can pep up all sorts of food with it. I've got a bottle of the same stuff you have here, but once I finish it I'm planning on making my own.
Always a fun time with u guys, this and chocolate episode had been such cool birthday presents! keep going on :D
Haha ~ this was fun. Nice to switch up the format sometimes. And I like how you snuck the Heinz back into the testing. My current ketchup is Woodstock Organic, purchased on sale. I'm no connoisseur, lol. Thanks for another entertaining episode! 😊 🍅🍟
I love how at the beginning you say “... with Max and Josay!“ and lift up your glas as if Jose was another word for cheers! Prost from Germany!
Prost! :D
My fav “ketchup” is HP sauce. Soooo good! Also, I like Mayo with fries & my life got infinitely better when I first tried kewpie Mayo.
He is doing the shovel method he mentioned on “a hotdog is a sandwich” yesterday.
Great way to start off the day
Huzzah!
I'm sure there are actual Filipino viewers who can back me on this (I'm about as white as it's possible to get), but banana ketchup is a versatile condiment. Fries, yeah, and even burgers or other applications you'd usually encounter the tomato based stuff, but it's frequently also paired with lumpia (essentially a deep-fried eggroll but with a very very thin, shattering-crisp wrapper). I haven't encountered it, which is weird because I grew up eating at a couple different Filipino restaurants in my town. Both of them paired lumpia with either sweet-and-sour sauce or a 50/50 mix of soy sauce and rice wine vinegar. I prefer the latter, personally.
Have you tried plum ketchup? I made it a couple of years ago and I love it, and make a batch in the summer when plums are plentiul. But, full disclosure, I do not generally eat ketchup (or mayo). I put mustard on my burger, with BBQ sauce in the summer, and eat my fries (when I do eat fries) with ranch. But plum ketchup is an exception, and I do use it as an ingredient in other things, as well. I don't know any ready made versions, but there are several recipes online.
Love the show, even if you don't like mustard.
Very nice episode, José! Thanks for keeping the channel going and not giving it up! You'll be BIG soon :D
One day. A girl can dream 🤩
Jose and Max you made my day! Ketchup with Max isn't cancelled, and Max liked the banana ketchup! Now, all the other ketchups I want to find and try.
Bahaha
The history of Ketchup is really interesting! Townsends video on it is great, but we totally need a Tasting History about it. Also, the Ketchup tasting was really fun!
Awesome to see a new episode I was already getting withdrawal symptoms :P
The banana ketchup will probably get you a few thousand Filipino followers.
You were right. The Stele of Hammurabi is at the Louvre. I was thinking it was at the Pergamon in Berlin...but that is only a replica.
