Tanginess spread- Erakina

Introduction

There once was a time when the sole condiments available to people were ketchup (or does one say catsup) and mustard.

Mustard is one of the world’s oldest condiments. Within the late 4th to early 5th century, the Romans were combining a mix of ground mustard, pepper, caraway, lovage, grilled coriander seeds, dill, celery, thyme, oregano, onion, honey, vinegar, fish sauce, and oil, to be used as a glaze for swine. 

American mustard is traditionally served on hot dogs and 700 million pounds of it are eaten per annum. Americans are the most important consumers, totaling approximately 40 million pounds a year or 12 ounces of mustard per person. The American’s love of the condiment and its association with hot dogs and baseball means annually quite 1,600 gallons and two million packets are consumed per annum at the big apple Yankee stadium.

Savory and sweet, with just the proper amount of tanginess, ketchup has become essential for our favorite foods.

Henry J. Heinz started producing ketchup in 1876. After a preservative controversy, he developed a recipe that used ripe, red tomatoes which have more natural preservatives than the ketchup that other manufacturers used, Heinz began producing preservative-free ketchup and shortly dominated the dip market. In 1905, the corporate had sold five million bottles of ketchup.

Americans now purchase 10 billion ounces of ketchup annually, which translates to roughly three bottles per person p.a.
