Condiments

One thing that has been bothering me lately. Have you ever noticed that on Ketchup bottles it always says Tomato Ketchup. I've been wondering if there is any other kind. I've never seen anything in a store to tell me there are other kinds of Ketchup's so why bother to put the word Tomato in at all?



Well a little research and I discovered this site Unusual Ketchup's apparently there is an apple ketchup...

A little further thinking made me wonder at Pickle Relish, I'd never known another type of relish until now. I've got two words for you Branston Pickle. It's made from a variety of diced vegetables, including swede, carrots, onions, cauliflower and gherkins pickled in a sauce made from vinegar, tomato, apple and dates with spices such as mustard, coriander, garlic, cinnamon, pepper, cloves, nutmeg and cayenne pepper with sugar.

I've just started using this on cheese sandwiches and it's all sorts of awesome! If you can find some I highly recommend.




I also find it strange that people get funny about what condiments you use. My Dad would have a fit if I put Tomato Ketchup on a hot dog. I could put mustard and pickle relish but no ketchup! I never really understood that at all. I've had mayo with fries/chips but would never put vinegar on them.

I guess it depends on what you like ;)
