well ketch-up is an Italian invention and is one of the base ingredients on a properly prepared pizza together with mozzarella.

what some cooks has to say about catsup or ketjap, the merriam-webster definition is:

Coelum Non Animum Mutant, Qui Trans Mare Currunt

This thread has become as productive as trying to agree if it is Ketchup or Catsup the name of the condiment you place over Hot Dogs.

Ketjap (sounds alike, but is dutch for soya souce)
In german and dutch it's Ketchup, btw.

See another example of miscommunication that can lead to flames: I did not ask for the German or Dutch word? I wrote a plain question in English so, the answer has to be referenceable to the language I wrote in.

And I hope that by know people are starting to realize my point: if a simple question about a simple condiment written in plain English can be misread, misinterpreted so people go all over the board answering what was not asked about; Guess what happens when the comments and or questions posited ar about a charged issue like credits.

Thanks be to G-d there is no relationship between Catsup or Ketchup ( which are both valid names for the same condiment in English) and credits. Had it been , there would have been a major flame war by now. :)

Actually you did not ask a question at all. So people are just giving an opinion on your statement.


P.S. Actually in English (true english, it is Ketchup or Red Sauce. Yours is just a regional language of American English ;-))

So now an answer has to be given to the PS...of course in Red



A little article for your edification and instruction...

KETCHUP VERSUS CATSUP
[Q] From Suzanne: “Why is ketchup also called catsup?”

[A] Ketchup was one of the earliest names given to this condiment, so spelled in Charles Lockyer’s book of 1711, An Account of the Trade in India: “Soy comes in Tubbs from Jappan, and the best Ketchup from Tonquin; yet good of both sorts are made and sold very cheap in China”. Nobody seems quite sure where it comes from, and I won’t bore you with a long disquisition concerning the scholarly debate on the matter, which is reflected in the varied origins given in major dictionaries. It’s likely to be from a Chinese dialect, imported into English through Malay. The original was a kind of fish sauce, though the modern Malay and Indonesian version, with the closely related name kecap, is a sweet soy sauce.

Like their Eastern forerunners, Western ketchups were dipping sauces. I’m told the first ketchup recipe appeared in Elizabeth Smith’s book The Compleat Housewife of 1727 and that it included anchovies, shallots, vinegar, white wine, sweet spices (cloves, ginger, mace, nutmeg), pepper and lemon peel. Not a tomato in sight, you will note—tomato ketchup was not introduced until about a century later, in the US, and caught on only slowly. It was more usual to base the condiment on mushrooms, or sometimes walnuts.

The confusion about names started even before Charles Lockyer wrote about it, since there is an entry dated 1690 in the Dictionary of the Canting Crew which gives it as catchup, which is another Anglicisation of the original Eastern term. Catchup was used much more in North America than in Britain: it was still common in the middle years of the nineteenth century, as in a story in Scribner’s Magazine in 1859: “I do not object to take a few slices of cold boiled ham ... with a little mushroom catchup, some Worcester sauce, and a pickle or so”. Indeed, catchup continued to appear in American works for some decades and is still to be found on occasion.

There were lots of other spellings, too, of which catsup is the best known, a modification of catchup. You can blame Jonathan Swift for it if you like, since he used it first in 1730: “And, for our home-bred British cheer, Botargo, catsup, and caveer”. [Caveer is caviar; botargo is a fish-based relish made of the roe of the mullet or tunny.] That form was also once common in the US but is much less so these days, at least on bottle labels: all the big US manufacturers now call their product ketchup.


And the a nasty comment would follow: something like the question was implied...cant you think?

We get a moderator in...and voila!!! We have us a flame war!!!!!!

:) :) :)

Seems that is on about the US-Americans again and the US-Americans use of Ketchup/catsup. US-Americans don't use true English ;-)

This is a senseless, and unsubstantiated claim. Either post direct references or don't post at all! What is the point of asserting such a thing and not backing it up with hard facts? And what do you care? Your RAC is low anyway.

All actually derive from French fries I think..

But in the UK;
Fries are French Fries (thin and straight)
Chips are Chipped Potatoes (often use generally, though normally classed as everything thicker than Fries, anything healthier than what you can buy at McDonalds ;-) i.e. you can taste the potatoe)

Yes here in the UK we have "Fish and chip" shops as opposed to fish and fries shops but this does not mean a nice piece of Cod fillet and a packet of Salt and Vinegar.

This type of meal in Essex is somewhat obligatorarily washed down with a diet coke to ease your conscience about all the fats and calories, that`s if young. The older person sticking to the more traditional " nice cuppa tea" !

Yes I noticed something too

This is important for the sea monster joke to work.

(the Brits are groaning already and paging down fast - we all heard it at school)

What do sea monsters eat?

Fish and Ships.

I remember something about Belgium claiming to have invented to French Fry (or frie ?). Something about horse fat as well...

Though the chip is certianly british (something about it being invented in yorkshire in the 1700's.)

This is proof the Physicists do talk about some interesting things in the pub :-D



.... I'm off to see if the Wiki has something about chips/fries/smelly feet, it has almost everything else.
