This may be the last straw(joking)... at least the mustard is still Heinz... for now

BYOK!

[stevethepirate]

Well, it is the fancy kind.

That just means it's not made in China 😉

What's the difference between ketchup and fancy ketchup?

 

Fancy is a qualification from the USDA that certifies it as high-quality ketchup (Heinz is also considered Fancy ketchup). Fancy ketchup is a U.S. grade A ketchup that has good color, good consistency, good flavor, and is free from defects, according to the USDA.

Now what about catsup?

Catsup and katchup are acceptable spellings used interchangeably with ketchup, however, ketchup is the way it is popularly used today. "Catsup", which dates to the same time, may well be a different Romanization of the same word, trying to come closer to a sound that doesn't really exist in English.

I believe Heinz contains that dastardly high fructose corn syrup. I don't think Monarch does (although it does contain sugar).

I've never paid attention to the brand of ketchup restaurants offer. Are there strong opinions about ketchup brands? I know people will come to blows over their preferred brand of soda.

I just assumed, probably mistakenly, that the Heinz ketchup bottles were filled up when they become empty by a huge bulk tank of catsup that may or may not exceed the allowable quotient of insects...

I doubt it. If you've ever tried to remove the lid off a recent Heinz bottle of ketchup (probably since they moved to the "no drip store upside down" design), you'll realize it doesn't just screw off.

 

I tried to reuse an old ketchup bottle to dispense oil and learned that fact.

Don't mess with my Heinz, Hellman's and Gulden's.

 

Thank You....LOL

I’ll be honest, I rarely eat ketchup, but when I do, it’s Heinz or none. Don’t bring me “mystery” ketchup in a ramekin, I won’t touch it. DH thought he could pull one over on me once and refilled the Heinz bottle with Hunt’s…yeah, he learned really quick that my taste buds are picky about ketchup. Other things i really don’t care about, but that is one.

Ketchup? Most don't care.

 

The difference is you don't mix ketchup with your good bourbon. I will always plant my flag on the hill of "bourbon and Coke" over bourbon and Pepsi. (One of the smaller reasons we mostly sail NCL now.)

Actually, there is! I will not consume any other ketchup than Heinz. Everyone has their preferences and when I am on vacation I want what I want.

I don't know if it is still true, but when I was a waitress back in the stone age, we were told that Heinz forbid the refilling of its ketchup bottles from big cans,  A restaurant (or a restaurant chain) was only supposed to buy the individual bottles.  One of my jobs at closing was to "marry" the ketchup bottles, which was to fill the half-empty ketchup bottles with other half-empty ketchup bottles.  If you got caught filling the bottles from a can, they would threaten to stop selling to you.

PYA Monarch is a brand of US Foodservice.  It is a brand that is often substituted for Heinz when it is not available.

 

I can think of at least two ketchups that I like better than Heinz - Reg Gold and Hunts.  The quality of many Heinz products has greatly deteriorated since their acquisition by Berkshire Hathaway.

I suppose you could steal some some packets from the last fast food place you eat at before you board the ship.  😀

 

Personally, I don't have a dog in this fight.  In my family, we don't eat much ketchup.  I only have it on hand for recipes and guests.  I recently had to throw out my partial bottle because it had expired - and I think the expiration date is a year or two after it is manufactured.

Does Guy's still have Heinz?

Fancy is served only on Elegant Night, though

Me too!  Keeping that bottle balanced was a skill😉
