Mushroom ketchup is basically 18th century Worcestershire sauce. Townsend did a video on it

[@LadyElaineLovegood]

If I recall right, he uses it more as a sauce than an ingredient.

[@WyattRyeSway]

I ordered that from him. It’s very good.

[@moniquem783]

I made it from his recipe. It’s good. It is more of an ingredient than a sauce/ketchup though. I thickened it with a little cornstarch so I could use it on top of meat. Very nice.

[@mahenonz]

It was bugging me because I knew I’d heard about it somewhere - there was a documentary on the history of major food brands, and mushroom ketchup or relish was basically the inspiration for Heinz to make an improved product. It wasn’t used for dipping fries, you would pour some on bland food such as chops.

[@delecti]

The million/billion thing is the difference between the long scale and the short scale. In the short scale (which the US uses), every "-illion" after a million is 1000x more. In the long scale (used by some Spanish, French, and Italian speaking locations) every "-illion" after million is 1 million times more. There are other systems too (like the lakh and crore used in Indian counting), but I'm not familiar enough with the specifics to confidently explain it. There's a map on the wikipedia article for "long and short scales" that shows distribution of the two.

[@fredriksahlstenglimmevi3259]

Britain actually changed the definition of a 'Billion' to match the US one in the 1970's.

Thank you for this! I screenshot and send Max comments 😁

[@Baubette]

@cosmicengineer Same in French, billion is milliard and trillion is billion, etc.

[@urmorph]

Strictly speaking, these are not number systems but naming conventions. Actual scientists use exponentials. I met professors at MIT who never used the Latin-derived names past a quadrillion. And even Carl Sagan famously said "billions and billions." And I always remember Sen. Everett Dirksen and his statement, "You know how it is; you spend a million here and a million there, and pretty soon it starts to add up to real money." (I personally don't have that problem.)

[@KetchupwithMaxandJose]

[@fedra76it]

In turn, your recollection makes another one resurface to my mind. Italy, here. Dining out at a Mexican restaurant. The main course is gone and a friend sees that I haven't eaten the hot chili - I mean a whole one - which had clearly been placed as a decoration. Stating: "You shouldn't waste food" he just grabs it and chews it whole. It was some habanero, and he dearly paid for it... I've never seen anyone sweating like that and turning that red.

In Denmark (and many other European countries, I believe) a billion is called a milliard. Instead of going million, billion, trillion etc, we go million, milliard, billion, billiard, trillion, trilliard etc. So a danish billion would be a trillion in english, which can get confusing when translating.

[@StuiB08]

Numberphile did an excellent video on this. English speakers use what is called the short scale, and speakers of other languages add the -ard suffix to the short scale, and use what is called the long scale.

Mushroom ketchup can be found in old recipe books, I've got a 17th century English one and the first time I read it I was flabbergasted. I've since learned that mushroom ketchup was a condiment that would go into a lot of other foods, like pies, and which was replaced by tomato ketchup in the late 19th century. It's actually really great to have, you can pep up all sorts of food with it. I've got a bottle of the same stuff you have here, but once I finish it I'm planning on making my own.

Awesome to see a new episode I was already getting withdrawal symptoms :P

[@carole6779]

Haha ~ this was fun. Nice to switch up the format sometimes. And I like how you snuck the Heinz back into the testing. My current ketchup is Woodstock Organic, purchased on sale. I'm no connoisseur, lol. Thanks for another entertaining episode! 😊 🍅🍟

Oh my god I love the Tom Nook blindfold! Looks so cute on Max :)

[@kelseylogas1580]

Okay I just put in the first comment to say hello. Blindfolded Max with a fuzzy bear mask is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while.

I crave for the dynamic these two have

[@IshbelJekyllhyde]

Oh my, it took me days to finally see the episode full but I'm so glad I finally had the time, it was awesome... I absolutely loved it and loved seeing ketchup reviews with Max, now I'm wondering, what weird ketchup has been created in my country

[@chrisball3778]

I live in England. Traditionally a British 'Billion' was a million million (or a Trillion), but we don't use that any more, and these days when we say a billion we mean a thousand million, just like in the USA. I believe the government actually agreed to change the definition in UK English to the international standard back in the 1970's in order to avoid confusion. There'd be real potential for trouble if people couldn't agree on e.g. how much a debt of a billion dollars actually was. There are probably a few older people who still stand by the older definition, but most British people use the modern one. So Max is about half right there.

Jose and Max you made my day! Ketchup with Max isn't cancelled, and Max liked the banana ketchup! Now, all the other ketchups I want to find and try.

Bahaha

Two minutes in and I'm subscribed. You two are adorable!

The history of Ketchup is really interesting! Townsends video on it is great, but we totally need a Tasting History about it. Also, the Ketchup tasting was really fun!

[@PeoplePlacesRocknRoll]

I was sooo depressed today. It's so gloomy and cold near London. You mentioned this channel on a vid, and now I'm back to normal! 🎉🎉🎉 Toni near Gatwick

Of course, living in the Midwest, people will say that regular ketchup is spicy. Madness, I tell you.

[@Saezimmerman]

Fry sauce is a concoction that I've never been brave enough to try, but that's how I first found out that some people consider ketchup spicy...

[@northstarjakobs]

@@Saezimmerman I've made fry sauce before, but not because I wanted a "mild ketchup", but rather because sometimes I just don't care for a ton of tomato flavor. I will say, I do also mix ketchup with hot sauce to dip my tostones (twice-fried plantain slices) in.

[@AlatheD]

I love that you tried to get one over on him. :D Also, was it just me or did Max sound scandalized that you admitted to sleeping on the Pokemon bed? LOL I love these episodes, but don't burn yourself out. :)

[@KetchupwithMaxandJose]

He's silly. Max needs to let drunk me sleep wherever he wants :)

[@sarahknittyb7616]

I can confirm, as a Brit, that it's a thousand million and then a billion in the UK. Loving the show and want to see Jose in front of the camera!

[@ebarrios08]

My birthday is at the end of the month too... Aries people rock!! Happy early birthday!!

[@dansaikyo6664]

OMG Sriracha ketchup is my favorite! That Heinz jalapeno sounded interesting...

[@wildsheepc]

Waiting eagerly for more Ketchup with Max and Jose! :)

[@KetchupwithMaxandJose]

As soon as I can shake the Covid off and my second chin 😅

[@zenkakuji3776]
