I was at the hospital cafeteria yesterday, and I got a hamburger, and at the end of the line with salt and mustard and stuff, I looked for ketchup, but they didn't even have red ketchup, but all they had was that purple stuff!   ::) :P

yuck!, Tell me about it, it doesn't even taste like ketchup, more like chemicals. What ever happened to the good old fashoned red TOMATO ketchup.

Maybe being in a hospital cafeteria red ketchup would look to similar to the patients as being blood.(Maybe freak them out)

actually IG, plasma is a light straw yellow color. whole blood is just as red as it looks when you cut yourself. The red cells give blood it's color.

Maybe the problem is people started spelling it "Ketchup" instead of catsup.

Subject: Re: Get this..

Blame Heinz.  They're the ones who started spelling it "ketchup" (when I was a kid, it was Heinz "ketchup" and all the other brands were "catsup" ) and they're the ones responsible for the green and purple (and now mystery color!) ketchup, in order to entice kids to eat the stuff!  I've always preferred my ketchup/catsup red…

Ketchup should only be used on fish sticks and hamburgers. On anything else, it is an abomination.... :P

I hate ketchup more than anything else in the world. As for purple ketchup, what was that on the news about the food companies making disgusting-tasting things a lot more colourful just so that the kids would eat spinach that LOOKed appealing, rather than the normal, everyday stuff.

I prefer most of these things in their original colour anyway.

I LOVE ketchup but it has to be Heinz the rest is yucky.I eat Heinz organic ketchup cos it's miles better for me and tastes great and obviously is completely natural as far as ingredients go.
As to catsup it sounds like a word to describe a cat coughing up a fur ball or something.........

Its funny. I don't like any kind of sauce on my food. I was bought up with it being an insult to the chef if I added sauce or anything.

But Reddy, some people are such bad cooks that if you didn't add something you'd never be able to get it down!!  :P

Re: Fish sticks - Thank you!!! :) Mrs. M & I just had a debate about this in the grocery store last weekend.

Ketchup...has to be red....and not flavor-enhanced. (Mesquite BBQ?? ?!? If I wanted the taste of BBQ sauce, I would buy BBQ sauce!)

I like ketchup on french fries sometimes.

I do get notes from my mom to put ketchup on hotdogs... ;)

Some people could say the same about fish sticks (malt vinegar).

Which reminds me (deviating a little from topic) in Half Moon Bay CA I tried french fries with melted cheddar cheese and garlic.  Very tasty... :)
