It's official: the world's largest ketchup bottle is, in fact, a catsup bottle.

With a K, and while we're at it, there is no conceivable reason to ever buy anything other than Heinz Ketchup. Every other ketchup sucks ass, especially Hunts.

Where I grew up in upstate NY, my favorite "hot dog" was a bockwurst-style white hot (Zweigle's FTW) with sweet mustard and sauerkraut.

What I'm speaking of is closer to a hot dog in texture than a traditional sausage.

Meh, Heinz is ok, if there's no alternative. Their "organic" variety is espcially good, better flavor and no HFCS. But, the best "widely available" ketchup is Muir Glen's. Nothing is better on fries (aka. chips).

I tell people at sandwich shops I'm allergic to pickles just so they are 99% sure to not include it (there's always someone who ignores the special order).

I'm not lying; my body physically rejects it. I consider that an allergy of sorts.

I reject your beliefs!

I've had numerous HFCS-free and organic ketchups and they all taste like sh!t, even my folks made their own from tomatoes they grew and it made me want to puke.

Heinz or bust!

Try Muir Glen's, seriously. Every person (every) that's sampled it in my home has said it's the best ketchup they've ever tasted.

The best ketchup I've ever had was home made. Well, actually restaurant made. There is a diner in Toronto that makes all of its own ketchup. Different texture, and nowhere near as sweet, but otherwise much more flavourful.

For a real, robust, spicy kick-ass mustard do not try the above. Severely disappointed.



Now this, on the other hand....it'll blow your taste buds through the back of your head. The best.

According to Wikipedia, they're both wrong. It's catchup.
"You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction
with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the
moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the
neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, 'Look at that, you son of a bitch.'"

Kecap, of course. Preferably manis.

And for it, there’s no better choice than Beauvais. Heinz ketchup is vile (at least the stuff they sell here). Ketchup in general is not really my thing, but if it has to be, then it has to be Beauvais, which has actually at some point in its life time been in first-degree contact with a tomato.
