Is the audio fucked? Sounds like the 800Hz is boosted, and everything else is cut
ALSO!!! "Kecap" is pronounced… drum roll… KETCHUP. It's not "disputed by historians", at least not those who aren't eurocentric. Western ketchup is directly derived from kecap manis. Brits tasted it in Asia, then tried recreating it without the traditional ingredients, giving rise to multiple sauces including mushroom "catsup", as it was spelled then. Eventually, it was settled on tomato as the main flavour.

Not a big fan of products and recipes containing corn syrup. It's a shame Dan didn't compare Simply Heinz Tomato Ketchup with the original Heinz.

Worked at a restaurant that had "house made" ketchup. One of the ingredients was Heinz ketchup (which made up about 30% of the recipe).

I don't like Heinz anymore because it tastes like corporate greed and late stage capitalism. I prefer French's.

It's strange that during the history of ketchup segment you said that unripe tomatoes were used and that made the sauce thin because unripe tomatoes have less pectin. Most other fruits that have pectin have more pectin in the unripe fruits than the ripe ones. I asked the question online and saying that unripe tomatoes have less pectin was lazy research on someone's part because it is untrue. That stood out to me. I make a lot of jams and jellies and make my own pectin from unripe apples every year. You basically make green apple jelly and add it to other jelly recipes that need pectin. I make homemade ketchup too and wanted to see if your ideas had anything new for me.

My college beau worked for Hunts every summer in the late 60's. He warned everybody NOT to eat their products because the quality control was lacking. I'm sure it was the same as the other natl. brands, but Heinz became the only ketchup in our fridge.

Do you know you can use ketchup to polish copper? It is acidic and cleans it. Also don't cook with it in a cast iron pan because you have to re-season the pan.

I find ketchup in general is overrated
