RE: Happy Ketchup Day! Tomato Ketchup under the microscope book and fear of consuming it still exists today
I have to admit, I have never have ketchup with bacon except accidentally perhaps on a hot dog or hamburger as part of the overall mix. I like it just fine. I can see why you would like that @matthias-green - it works.
I also hate seeing people refilling the Heinz bottles in restaurants with some mystery ketchup coming from a big 2 gallon plastic tub jar. I know people in the bar and restaurant business and some have clearly said that the refill is a generic. That is just straight up wrong.
Remember when President Reagan tried to make ketchup get classified as a vegetable as part of the school lunch program requirements? That was a bit of a piece of bad advice he took from his advisers. :)
Ha! I hadn't remembered that about Reagan. Although I see the silliness in it now. as a youngster, he would have had my full support!
As for "re-fillers", I agree. Anyone who is willing to stoop so low as to put a knock-off sauce into the venerated bottle of the master in order to perpetrate a fraud, should be hung by their thumbs. Like any counterfeiter does, their crime is one that not only steals our money, but deflates our trust in humanity. Luckily, my long years of experience and loyalty to the King of Ketchup, I can spot a fraud with just a small taste.
In any case, thanks for the post. It was fun... I hadn't realized I still had such a passion for ketchup! ;^)
