Description
Although today's ketchup is tomato based, it did not appear until about a century after other types. By 1801, a recipe for tomato ketchup was created by Sandy Addison and was later printed in an American cookbook, the Sugar House Book.[2] James Mease published another recipe in 1812. In 1824, a ketchup recipe using tomatoes appeared in The Virginia Housewife (an influential 19th-century cookbook written by Mary Randolph, Thomas Jefferson's cousin).
As the century progressed, tomato ketchup began its ascent in popularity in the United States, influenced by the American enthusiasm for tomatoes. Tomato ketchup was sold locally by farmers. A man named Jonas Yerks (or Yerkes) is believed to have been the first man to make tomato ketchup a national phenomenon. By 1837, he had produced and distributed the condiment nationally. Shortly thereafter, other companies followed suit. F. & J. Heinz launched their tomato ketchup in 1876. Heinz tomato ketchup was advertised: "Blessed relief for Mother and the other women in the household!", a slogan which alluded to the lengthy and onerous process required to produce tomato ketchup in the home.

And don't forget Italy's gift to the world marinara sauce. The word comes from the Malay word for soy sauce, kecap(ketchap). A very appetizing closeup.

Tomatoes and ketchup both have very strange and ironic histories--well, ketchup because of tomatoes. If I'm not mistaken, early Europeans once believed that tomatoes were poisonous, which explains why they became popular everywhere else, before hitting Europe, relatively late in the scheme of things. Ketchup has an even stranger history, since some sources say that ketchup is a Chinese invention. Life...it's a weird thing when you stop and think about it, but that's what makes it such quirky fun. And now that I've rambled on and on, I'll have to say that this is a super shot of super-healthy vitamin bombs. It would also seem that tomatoes have been credited with the ability to almost completely reverse the course of prostate cancer, so for all men out there over the age of 40, eat as many of these as you can, a dozen per day if possible! This is a great shot and I love the warmth of the colors and the incredible sensuality of the shot. The vines and the tomato shapes themselves are incredibly rich. This is amazing.
