Bravo to the team for the in-depth research on the origin of the name ketchup. To a native Cantonese speaker like myself, I think your pronunciation of the word “ke jup” is close enough 👍🏻
My x husband is from Iran, so in 1997 we went to Iran to visit his family and his parents could meet their grandchildren. My kids were so excited when we ordered a pizza in a restaurant. When it arrived at our table it ended up being half a pita bread with ketchup and sliced hotdogs. I don’t think there was even cheese on it. Well that didn’t go over so well with the kids, lol. I took a bite and understood why the kids wouldn’t eat it.
@@emiemiemi4769 I just don't see those in my country. They remind me of the past. I used to eat them sometimes in the 90s. Tater tots were introduced in the 1950s.
It's a bit sweeter even than US ketchup, and the texture tends to be a bit more viscous, a bit thicker. I keep a bottle of Jufran hot-and-spicy banana sauce handy for when I get the craving for Filipino spaghetti (a sweet version of spaghetti bolognese that includes sliced hot dogs and a quick-melting shredded cheese in addition to the ground beef). It also pairs really well with salty fries, potato wedges, etc.
it also goes better with different food than ketchup goes with. i can think of like, fried pork (lechon) goes with it, lumpia shanghai, and of course, in our spaghetti
Great to see Townsend's on here! Side note: I worked as a waitress at Claim Jumper long ago, and the d=side work included washing the damn ketchup bottle caps in hot water while refilling all the bottles. A real pain!
My favorite thing that Heinz did when their product in clear glass bottles started taking off - competitors selling dubious versions tried to copy him by using clear glass bottles - So Heinz bought every single glass bottle that could be found for a large area round the city and what he couldnt store or use right away he literally sunk in the harbor. Learned this from a show called The Food That Built America. Fans of this channel will enjoy it

My mom use to prepare homemade ketchup with us. I believe it is not as full of sugar as commercial ketchups. We also add apples inside and we also use to put it on pizza. It is not as smooth as ketchup from shop but it feels more trustworthy. It´s also from home-grown tomatoes, there are so good from sun and stuff. Try do it by yourselves it is not that hard(only special thing you need is some special stainer but maybe you can use regular one, but dense), I can give you preparation receipt if you want.
I hope this answer will show up to both of you, guys, I will ask my mom for a recipe and I will translate it. You will have it here in wednesday evening, I promise :D
The word ketchup in our local language (kecap) means something similar to soy sauce, fish sauce, a mutant of the two, or something else entirely. It can be salty, savory, or sweet and sometimes bit spicy depending on which brand you buy. The English word "ketchup" roughly translates to "tomato sauce" here.
I once made a recipe for chili, out of a nostalgia themed cookbook, that was essentially just ground beef and ketchup. I thought it would be distastefully sweet and vinegary, but its real sin was just being surprisingly BLAND. The simple addition of chili powder would have actually made it pretty palatable.
Hey, WHF! Born in and lived near Willoughby, Ohio for over 50 years and wasn't aware ketchup's connection to my home town.

Correction: Thai cuisines does NOT use ketchup for cooking. The video that's being used is literally titled "and ketchup substitute" which I assume, is using ketchup in place of tamarind paste used in Pad Thai.
Correction: Thai cuisines use pin pong balls for cooking. Look up "Thai ping pong show" for more information on the countries most famous cooking shows.
Most of us love Ketchup. But what I'm most interested in is making something similar myself. Obviously anything homemade is never going to be American ketchup, but I think with the right blend of tomatoes and salt/spices, you would have something amazing. Especially fresh.
Where did you get the drone footage of the catch up bottle in Collinsville Illinois? I think you used my footage. If you did I just wanna know cause I'm honored.
I can't remember the last time I used it. It has been years. And now that I am trying to cut out as much food with added sugar as I can, I am not likely to ever use it again.
If no one has tried Del Monte ketchup compared to others, you don't know what you're missing! It's not as sweet, I actually quit eating french fries with ketchup because it was to sweet. My grandma was a strict Del Monte ketchup fan, and she converted me! If you get a chance, try it out! Unfortunately, I only have 1 store that is close to me that sells it, but it's always in stock! Del Monte doesn't have the glass bottles, the glass bottles really suck lol, they are very frustrating!
Just now tuning in. Let me just say for the record....don't even try to give us Pittsburghers any weird brands of ketchup. It had better be Heinz! We can taste the difference. 😊😋😁
How about a Weird History on the history of salsa (maybe it's ketchup's Mexican cousin?), the history of Naan bread (India), and rum - (is rum REALLY from the Caribbean?).
The Heinz ruffled ketchup chips are the best! Also, what about BANANA KETCHUP?! It's a Filipino mainstay! 😁 #pinoypride #bananaketchup #Jollibee 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 Oh! Curry ketchup is another WONDERFUL variation! 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
Potato chips with ketchup flavour are also a thing in Germany/Austria (don't know about the rest of Europe). And don't forget the wild 90s with swirled ketchup+mayo, and purple ketchup!
I recently discovered the ketchup chips an a European road trip, and it’s probably a good idea they’re not more readily accessible to me because they are so good!
LOL I remember as a small child mixing ketchup into my mashed potatoes so they would turn red, then I'd shovel that into my mouth! It used to gross my family out lmfao.
Miracle Whip is horrible. When my dad got remarried, my step-mother always had that instead of real mayonaisse. To this day, despite having the money to buy mayo, she still has it in her fridge.
I support that idea. Personally, I prefer Miracle Whip on most sandwiches, except for baloney and turkey.(I don't know why). I wonder how many prefer Miracle Whip. I suppose it depends on what a person grew up using.
@@johnr797 Right? My dad should've known better. A second divorce was in order. I guess some people just sort of give up, being scared of a second divorce.
@@williamromine5715 I’m a Miracle Whip gal. It’s sweeter than mayonnaise and gives sandwiches a better taste than regular mayonnaise. I can do mayonnaise but I will always go with Miracle Whip over regular mayonnaise anyday.
I remember a scene in an old tv show (might have been a sitcom) where a character said something like, "Ketchup is the only food. Everything else is just a vehicle for it." I felt that. I've backed off my ketchup addiction quite a lot since then, but I still do love ketchup on many things.
Cloves, cumin, garlic, mustard, cinnamon, ginger, coriander ... they are all spices. All common ingredients in ketchup, along with tomato, sugar and vinegar.
The name is most probably derived from the Indonesian sweetened soy sauce 'kecap', which is a great main condiment. But I am very glad for the tomato based evolution, it is good on just about everything.
I’ve never understood why some people find it hard to use the glass bottle. My grandma always told me to just hit the 57, it works every time! I’ve always liked the retro aesthetic of glass Heinz bottles.
It's not necessarily hard, it's just harder. And with a glass bottle you get big blobs out, sometimes much more than you want, most often more than you wanted where it landed, and then you have to undo the damage with utensils. It takes longer. If your one hand is greasy, you will get grease on the bottle. With a plastic bottle you get perfect dosages and don't have to rearrange what came out post application. You can make patterns, even draw a little smiley face on your loved one's omelet. If they phase out the plastic bottles (which is likely), I'd prefer they put it in a jar like mayo.
Dirty Harry is a San Francisco dweller. Wait until he goes to Chicago and have a Chicago dog! Ketchup, mustard, pickle relish, onion, pickle spear, hot pickled chili peppers.
Amazing video, Weird History! Interesting how ketchup wasn't originally made from tomatoes. Speaking of things that go with ketchup, when you do another fast food video, please let it be Jack In The Box! The restaurant has an interesting past, they even had their own set of characters in the 70s, and there's even a Jack In The Box WIKI [to be fair Mcdonald's has one too]. Howard Johnson's would be a cool video too, considering it originally started as a shop. Had they put drive thrus at their restaurants, they might've lasted longer.
No no no 😬 I mean, it's great if you like it. I tried this one day I thought I had canned tomatoes for the sauce and the stores were closed. Used ketchup instead. It was disgusting. Threw it away. But tastes differ, and that's great, just don't do this is you have friends over for dinner 😂
Poland is obsessed with ketchup. They make a flavor of ketchup for everything, including "Pizza Ketchup". Where an American might use picante sauce for burritos, they use picante ketchup, or chipotle ketchup.
Yes! In Poland we have zapienkanki, which is street food but not too unlike a pizza. It starts with a bread, sort of a baugette, topped with sauteed mushrooms, cheese, and ketchup.
11:04 I love Cottage Cheese. I've never had it with ketchup ... I frequently eat some cottage cheese with some tomato slices, so tonight I'm going to try some cottage cheese with KETCHUP !!
I'm a weirdo apparently who has never enjoyed ketchup, but was always smitten with its cousin, BBQ sauce. I know I'm not alone coz I've met many others like me, I just find it fascinating how odd and different taste buds can be from person to person haha
I like ketchup, but not like most people. Some people need it with their fries. I don't at all. Salt is usually enough for me. I like other things to dip them in as well. I never really got the fascination with ketchup. I guess it's the high sugar content that hooks people without them knowing it. They don't think of the sweetness, but that's their crack.
I hate ketchup and BBQ sauce both. Nor do I like mustard or mayonnaise or any other condiment except for salt. I won't eat anthing with tomato including spaghetti sauce. I hate pizza also. So you're definitely NOT a weirdo. I've never met anyone pickier than me.
@@alukuhito the sugar is probably what makes me dislike ketchup so much! And you’re right about salt being enough on fries sometimes. I’m also a fan of seasoned fries…those are tasty enough without anything extra added.
Maybe I missed it, but I don't think one other presidential reference was cited: Catchup was classified as a vegetable during the Reagan administration.
My dad used to polish copper with ketchup. My sister had a copper bracelet that was supposed to be tarnished. My dad polished it brand new with ketchup. It was hilarious.
That's true, it's actually a great way to super quickly make a tasty meal from just a can of beans. Throw in a stock cube and some spices. Make sure to keep the liquid in the beans can, it has flavor to it. 👌
I lived in Collinsville for almost 25 years and not once did I actually see the Brooks brand of "catsup" that was on the water tower. It was gonna be torn down for a while too due to age and funds but in the end the city raises enough to refurbish it and start selling t-shirts in a shop at the base :P
In Mexico ketchup/catsup tastes way better because is made with pure cane sugar not corn syrup and it has an almost transparent texture . Coke also tastes better for the same reason
I am Danish and Ketchup is an must in my modern viking home. If I am low on ketchup. I know, I got always one more in reserve. And I all so know. That I must get more ketchup, just to keep the peace. Peace is an illusion without Our Blood Red Ketchup. A must with Ketchup: Fried sausages!!!
I can't remember what brand but I remember having a bottle of CATSUP in the fridge in late 70s It's also referenced in an early Simpsons episode suggesting at least one brand kept the spelling in to the early 90s

I love me some ketchup, but keep that crime against humanity known as 'Catsup' away from my fries!
Maybe I missed it, but I don't think one other presidential reference was cited: Catchup was classified as a vegetable during the Reagan administration.
My dad used to polish copper with ketchup. My sister had a copper bracelet that was supposed to be tarnished. My dad polished it brand new with ketchup. It was hilarious.
Ketchup is great for a quick sauce when cooking beans. No idea this is kind of how it was originally used.
Possibly that some Cowboy recipes had tomato sauce in their beans, like Pork ‘n’ Beans today.
That's true, it's actually a great way to super quickly make a tasty meal from just a can of beans. Throw in a stock cube and some spices. Make sure to keep the liquid in the beans can, it has flavor to it. 👌
I lived in Collinsville for almost 25 years and not once did I actually see the Brooks brand of "catsup" that was on the water tower.
It was gonna be torn down for a while too due to age and funds but in the end the city raises enough to refurbish it and start selling t-shirts in a shop at the base :P
Theres something very funny about the founder of the FDA sharing a name with the main antagonist from Mega Man.
A recipe for mushroom ketchup from the 1700s can be found on the Townsends website. Homemade ketchup recipes are available as well.
In Chicago, it's almost illegal to put ketchup on hotdogs.
Thanks for the videos. Fewer bell rings, please.
I'm Australian and had no bloody idea what you were talking about until I realised you meant TOMATO SAUSE. Or as we would pronounce it "tomarta sause"
I was waiting on the band of Brothers reference of “this ain’t sauce.”
-No, this is army noodles with ketchup.
A traditional Filipino style spaghetti sauce requires the use of banana ketchup in the recipe. 😋🩸🍅🍌🍝
Spaketchup 🤣 the best comfort food!
Ketchup and mustard were the prototype names for Cyrax and sektor from mortal kombat.
>Teaming up with Dr. Wily
Good to know that aside from making robot masters to fight MegaMan. Dr. Wily has done some good in this world
Next, mustard.
Im a Hunts Ketchup man myself. Provides a much less "vinegar-y" taste than Heinz and is a little more sweet. Try it, it might change your life.
The new Heinz Ketchup commercial.
Emmy!!!
The history of honey mustard would be awesome.
‘Do one thing and do it well, then you’ll always have success’ - Henry John Heinz
Fun fact: You do not put ketchup on hotdogs in Chicago. We prefer the relish, onion, seasoned salt, mustard, FRESH tomatoes, and peppers.
In Mexico ketchup/catsup tastes way better because is made with pure cane sugar not corn syrup and it has an almost transparent texture . Coke also tastes better for the same reason
Yet pepsi with cane sugar is terrible. I don't understand it, the only thing bad with sugar is Pepsi
Real sugar ketchup and coke is available in the US. Costs a few cents more. Only poor people suck down corn syrup laden products.
Yet with coke in taste tests people often can't tell the difference or choose the hfcs coke
French fries are merely a Ketchup delivery food.
I used to put ketchup on my macaroni and cheese,fried potatoes and onions plus my cheeseburger and hotdogs and use it on meatloaf
Thank you!
I am Danish and Ketchup is an must in my modern viking home.
If I am low on ketchup. I know, I got always one more in reserve.
And I all so know. That I must get more ketchup, just to keep the peace.
Peace is an illusion without Our Blood Red Ketchup.
A must with Ketchup: Fried sausages!!!
If you do not have ketchup then do you go berserk?
I can't remember what brand but I remember having a bottle of CATSUP in the fridge in late 70s It's also referenced in an early Simpsons episode suggesting at least one brand kept the spelling in to the early 90s
I used to love ketchup in my scrambled eggs, until I found out my mother used to add calves brains into the mix (it was the 1960s).
😮 why brains?! Is it a culture thing or just a thing your mom or family did?
@@shannons9536 brain was cheap then, and considered nutritious.
I see!!! Ok, I get why she did it then.
Didn't Ronnie Reagan also declare ketchup counting as "a vegetable" in daily diets during the 80s?! Haha!
A common myth. It’s untrue in all of its details. You should stop spreading it, it makes you look dumb 😂
Kudos on using the guga food footage
