Catsup or Ketchup ? - GoFuckYourself.com

Brujah · 02-01-2004, 01:22 AM

and just for the halibut,

Neither spelling, "catsup" or "ketchup", is more correct than the other. The only difference I know of is that people who strive too hard for correctness invariably seem to prefer "catsup."

Human beings, on the other hand, love catsup. Americans eat it, according to a recent article in Vogue, at the rate of three bottles per person per year. But the original ketchup bore little resemblance to what might be called our national sauce. The words "ketchup" and "catsup" both come from the Malay word "kechap," from the Chinese word "ketsiap," a sauce made from fermented fish and brine. Pickled fish sauce may not sound all that appealing on french fries, but the Malay word "kechap" itself really only meant "taste." After the word migrated into English in the 17th century (as "catchup," still an accepted spelling), it was applied to a variety of sauces and condiments. It was only with the importation of the tomato to Europe from its native habitat in South America that what we now know as ketchup was born. Modern ketchup is made of tomato sauce, vinegar, sugar and spices, and not a speck, thank heavens, of pickled fish.

Tom and Jerry both say it's Catsup.

ketchup for us here. I use it rarely, once in a while I have a craving for it. When I was pregnant though, just the sight of it would make me vomit. Obviously I couldn't eat out much.

What the fuck is Catsup?

GonePhishing · 02-01-2004, 02:21 AM

I believe Mr. Burns had the same problem that you are. He couldn't decide if he should by Ketchup or Catsup.

kmanrox · 02-01-2004, 02:22 AM

PTC!
Pass The Catsup
or
Processed Tomato Condiment

hey....you say potato, I say Voldka.

How things like this got out of order in the first place is beyond me. Tomatos are fruits, but declared as vegetables for the purposes of importing/exporting.

If I ask you for something I want, and the end result is that it ends up in my possesion, then hey, we're communicating effectively, regardless of how it was pronounced,(legitimate accent or otherwise), or even gestured, and that is great thing.

oooh! wait!
I know!
I don't use either term.....
around here it's called
'Ghetto Bloody Mary mix'
