DO YOU KNOW THE HISTORY OF CONDIMENTS? DO YOU KNOW WHERE KETCHUP CAME FROM?

Dear Readers:

Have you every wondered about how certain condiments came to be?  Did you know that ketchup was not originally made with tomatoes?  Below is an excerpt from the article:

 
"Ketchup traces its history to a seventeenth-century Chinese sauce made of pickled fish and spices called kê-chiap. It was discovered by English explorers, who brought it back to England, where they made it less fishy and added more mushrooms and shallots. Tomatoes didn’t make their first appearance in ketchup until the early 1800s."
