Hello, Max! I’m a Filipina, and we have a banana ketchup here, a sweeter kind made of bananas from World War II’s shortage of tomatoes. The recipe is credited to Maria Orosa, a war heroine, and I think you’d really like her. She basically took her food chemist degree and helped so many Filipinos and POWs survive the war through food. 😌 I know it’s a long shot that you’ll see this message but it would really mean the world to me if you could make an episode about her 💜 She has over 700 recipes made in her lifetime but she’s most famous for the banana ketchup, Soyalac (nutritious drink made from soyabeans) and Darak (rice cookies that she helped smuggle into Japanese-run internment camps). ☺️

@Charlan Pennington yes, I treat it just like I'm making homemade sauerkraut. Just salt. I weigh all of my ingredients and get my salt percentage. Then I prep my cabbage as if I was making sauerkraut. Once it is ready to jar, I just mix it up with the other ingredients, then ferment for around 2 months. My grandmother and great aunt said the preferred way of eating it was just straight out of the crock or with ham and beans. Also, when you prep the cabbage, remove the core, then cut it into a couple of pieces and stick it in the jar with the rest. The core is the most coveted.

So two notes on the recipe ingredients here based upon timeframe and locality: 1. The elderflower vinegar of the time was actually made from decocting elderflower “wine” then vinegarizing it, which makes for a… distinctly different ingredient, however as there are basically no modern salesfolk of such things you are unlikely to get that unless you make it yourself, a lengthy process. (Both wine and vinegar were used for alchemic health remedies at that time). Both tend to be a milky whiteish color. 2. Bruised white pepper actually would be a reference to using raw pepper corn, the fleshy berries, or only mildly dried more prune like versions were often used back then and have a somewhat different set of flavor notes and textural changes, so likely that is what was meant. Otherwise it likely would be cracking the shell of the peppercorn while leaving the orb shape intact.

I thought the same about the pepper. Like, it's just cracking it enough to cause a split to allow inner flavour access. Preferably without breaking it (unless you're like me and may accidentally break it open due to clumsiness). But no more than that. Bruising certain spices lets the flavour out more easily, depending on method of cooking. Bruising cardamom pods was always my fave.

The vast majority of my experience with weddings runs more like episodes of "The Outer Limits" and "The Twilight Zone", seasoned liberally with madness and despair. *distracted muttering* In 1984, I had a couple want Parfait d'Amour (something akin to crème de violette) and champagne cocktails, because the same had been served at the bride's grandmother's wedding reception in the 1920s. There were a total of three bottles of Parfait d'Amour to be had in all of greater New York City at the time and I needed at least ten. I could get a few bottles of Creme Yvette (which at the time had not been produced since 1969 or so) to get me close to the needed amount, but no, it could only be Parfait d'Amour. So, off to Paris went our catering manager for a one-day-only mad dash through whatever passes for liquor stores in France to rummage up twelve bottles of Parfait d'Amour. I didn't think to ask if he could speak French (he couldn't) until the flight had already departed JFK. He didn't speak to me for a few months after that. But it at least dulled his enthusiasm sufficiently that we never had that particular cocktail on the menu again.

An excellent examination of the history of ketchup! I would add two footnotes to this: In the 1950's and 1960's, Heinz was the most popular ketchup being sold, with Hunt's as the number two. To differentiate between the brands, Heinz spelled their product "ketchup," while Hunt's spelled theirs as "catsup." Hunt's often made that distinction in their TV commercials. but Heinz continued to outsell them. Now, Hunt's spells their product name the same as Heinz. The second footnote is that Heinz ketchup made a cameo appearance--and a wonderful visual joke--in the 1962 "Manchurian Candidate" motion picture when Senator Iselin, while eating a steak and eggs breakfast, is pleading with his wife--a communist undercover agent--to finally settle on a number of communists who have infiltrated the US government . As he is applying a liberal dose of ketchup to his steak, a close-up shows that he is using Heinz ketchup. The next scene immediately cuts to the senator delivering an impassioned speech to the press, stating that he has proof that 57 communists are in the US government. A wonderful scene!

Just watched the more recent video from Townsends on ketchup and I like that Jas pointed out that modern "ketchup" has so much sugar it's really a tomato jam. Many would think that incorrect for a jam, but, go to your food stores and see if you find the Tabasco jams, or one I seen with bacon, and all these other spicey or savory flavors. I've already been on the fence the last number of times I seen them about getting a jar of lemon jelly or jam and mint jelly or jam as I'm unsure what I would like those on. If the lemon jam or jelly tastes like lemon pudding, then I could eat it as is.

As a Chinese, growing up I always thought the pronunciation of Ketchup sounds a lot like Cantonese "茄汁" which is the translation of Ketchup and literally means tomato juice. I always thought it is a coincidence, until one day I read somewhere that Cantonese (for those of you who don't know, Canton is exactly the southern part of China that historically has tight connection with southeast Asian countries) is likely the origin, or at least closely connected to the origin of Ketchup. I was amazed by the story.

And in such quantities! It definitely will ruin my nice sandwich and elder spritzer. Raw horseradish is the indigenous Austrian answer to Habanero chillies, in a very mustardy way.

Townsends had an excellent recipe for mushroom ketchup I can recommend. The consistency is indeed close to soy sauce or Worcestershire but pretty different in flavor. I used portabella mushrooms when making it and it just came out excellent; next time I get some bulk morels that'll be the base. As a bonus you can take the mushrooms and other spices that you used in making the ketchup, dehydrate them in your oven, and grind them up to a fine powder. You can mix with some salt or just have the spice mix on its own. A tasty two-for-one deal!

Interesting tidbit I learned from a History Channel show called "The Food that Built America", Heinz was actually the first to package his ketchup in clear bottles. He wanted consumers to see the freshness for themselves. Because when he invented tomato ketchup, it was the start of the Industrial Revolution. People were moving to cities in droves and for the first time, people actually had to rely on others for their food. They couldn't just slaughter a chicken on the porch, anymore. And food standards were also incredibly lax, so you often had no idea what you were buying, if it was any good. So catsup was also used to disguise the taste of badly cooked meat that might be a little bit off.

I think Townsend made mushroom ketchup, so you can get the recipe from there.

Mushroom ketchup is good! It reminds me a lot of Worcestershire sauce. I used to get it from Colonial Williamsburg and put it in soup broth.

Heinz made a quite a few varieties of ketchup back in the day. I was amazed to see how many back when I visited to original Heinz House. Found it sort of randomly in Greenfield Village in Michigan.

Heinz 57 was literally their 57th sauce. They couldn’t figure out if it was ketchup, bbq sauce. Etc.

Max is correct, the Dutch took the sweet soy sauce back to the Netherlands where it continues to be immensely popular today, to the extent that you can buy multiple brands of 'ketjap' in any ordinary supermarket. Try it with nasi goreng, another imported Dutch favourite from Indeonesia!

Making fermented garum in your back yard seems like a good way to keep neighborhood kids out of your yard too! 😆🤣 Edit: Mushroom ketchup sounds delicious, I want to try that!

Mushroom ketchup is delicious, and a lot less obnoxious to make than garum.

Mmmm, oyster ketchup sounds delightful! Then again, a “garum” made from fermented oysters is intriguing 😋

my immediate thought was "wait, isnt that just oyster sauce thats used in chinese cooking" and it started production around the mid-1870s alongside all these varieties

Oyster sauce. :)

@@jeremychoo934 I am aware of that, its just interesting to me around the same time oyster sauce is being made in china is the same when all these other ketchups began popping up

@@OlEgSaS32 I think that might be coincidence but as Max points out in his video, ketchup historically seems to have been made wide variety of things, including but not exclusively oysters but if I remember correctly, oyster sauce was basically made by reducing oyster juice to the familiar brown sauce that we get in bottles these days.
