1. I tried to Ketchup once...
But my forces refused to be mustard.

Although, I must say, I do relish the idea.

6. Absolutely
As a Pittsburgh boy, using any other ketchup is sacrilege.

7. From "Panati's Extraordinary Origins Of Everyday Things"
"In 1690, the Chinese developed a tangy sauce... for fish and fowl. A brine of pickled fish, shellfish, and spices, it was named ke-tsiap, and its popularity spread to the Malay archipelago, where it was called kechap."

"Early in the eighteenth century, British seamen discovered the natives of Singapore and Malaysia using kechap and brought samples of the puree back to their homeland. English chefs attempted to duplicatethe condiment, but, unfamiliar with its Eastern spices, they were forced to make substitutions such as mushrooms, walnuts and cucumbers. Mistakenly spelled "ketchup," the puree became an English favorite..."

(If you've ever tasted their food, you know why.)

And now you know... the REST of the story!
