I just want to say that Andy was not hamming this up for the video - when we talked, he seemed genuinely depressed that he was not eating ketchup.

[@WalterBurton]

👍🤣👍

[@Faultlinevideos]

Thanks for helping me through it and understanding this world better Phil! 🙏

22:03 This legendary sweet-spicy sauce from Thailand is called “Nam Jim Kai” (น้ำจิ้มไก่) or literally “The Chicken Sauce” because it’s always paired with fried or roasted chicken.

[@fabionelmiguel]

"My video my rules", that is a good way to start breaking promise before the year even start.

[@timmyZert]

When I first learned English, I remembered how I am utterly confused that ketchup means something that is totally different than "kecap" (pronounced almost exactly the same) in my language - which is another type of sauce/condiment that is common here in my country. Kecap here usually means soy sauce (either sweet or salty), although there are other variations as well such as fish sauce, and interestingly there's also "English kecap" which is actually Worcestershire sauce. Here, the local language for ketchup translated literally to English is just "tomato sauce". Interesting to learn how the actual item that the word represents changed throughout history!

[@ItsVasl]

why is this channel so underrated?

[@arieleliasov]

Wondered when Phil Edwards would appear on this channel. We need more collaborations

[@3lapsed]

I'm one of those weirdos that prefers no sauce on things like fries and chicken. Just some mustard on a burger, maybe some mayo. Oh and if I'm having fish n chips I'll gladly dip my fries in the tartar sauce

[@billdickhaus]

I only put mustard on fries. I like a little ketchup on a burger. Definitely no ketchup on chicken.

[@NewsGuyFred]

Fun fact, Hot Sauce (and Mexican Salsa included) is the number one condiment in the US now surpassing ketchup a few years ago. Hot sauce became so popular that there dozens of variety you can find at most supermarkets. The supermarkets will usually carry about 6 Mexican company hot sauce that probably come in 10 varieties. Then they carry a handful of Louisiana Hot Sauces. Then at least 2 or 3 Asian hot sauces. Then a handful of higher end niche hot sauces

[@paulweber1740]

Great video Andy and team. I always love your production quality and writing.

[@Nut_Kun]

Amazing collaboration!! Love both of you.

[@mlchallenges9043]

Great vid! I didn't know heinz started as such a small company and made a difference to the whole way food was made in the USA!

[@patrickchilds9620]

The idea Asia had to teach Brits how to make a fish sauce is absurd. The Romans had sophisticated garum factories in Britain, Spain and Portugal before 100AD. It was common until the late 1700's, although decreasing in popularity decade after decade until Lea and Perrins revived the tradition. The American south had tomatoes. It was first made into CATSUP in the middle 1700s according to American recipes...very much in line with your Mushroom Catchup. The key to turning the American Indian gift of tomatoes into a lasting sauce was vinegar...distilled vinegar was unknown in the Western Hemisphere. The Indians had everything else.

[@HayTatsuko]

Chips/French Fries and mayonnaise are seriously underrated in my part of the world. I get weird looks from other diners here in the USA when they see me dipping my fries into the white stuff, but they're just missing out on one of the best culinary combos around. (And no, I don't hate catsup on fries -- sometimes it really hits well for me, but I prefer mayo -- or even better, fry sauce, which is mayo, catsup, and sometimes Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, and/or other condiments, along with maybe paprika or Cayenne pepper.)

[@CortexNewsService]

I've heard of fry sauce and I'm up for trying it, but it's not that common in my part of the Midwest. I think it's more common in the Mountain states.

[@T0getherAlone]

Its funny because in Canada it got widely boycotted because they closed their factory in canada to export the labor to a cheaper country. A lot of people switched to French's.

[@elry6030]

Have you tried the Philippine banana ketchup? nice history too on how it was created.

[@michaelhiggins9188]

This was a really good and fun video. Thanks, I enjoyed it a lot, like some fries with ketchup.

[@BoskiM]

I prefer the competition or supermarket versions I find they are either the same as Heinz or even better and obviously much cheaper. The days of buying brand names (at least in my household) is over

[@TheVenkenike]

Great video!

[@lerbyn]

Ketchup on pasta is a staple in sweden

[@claire2088]

you should watch tasting history with max millar- he's made lots of food from various periods from all over- it's really fascinating hearing how different cultures have combined flavours through the ages

[@gent_Carolina]

WOOT 🎉 Part of the Phil Edwards "raid" on your channel. 😂 Keep up the good work! 😊

[@iwasanangryyoungman]

They may be synonymous with ketchup in ‘Murrica, but over in the UK they are the baked beans folks

[@stellehonig1541]

great video wow

[@RichardArpin]

You gotta start eating Honey dill, based out of Winnipeg! One part honey to two parts mayonnaise, and add in a bunch of dill! Its as sweet as ketchup but with awesome dilliness!

[@gent_Carolina]

Mayonnaise or Miracle Whip? I suppose using the latter would preclude the honey, which would alter the intended flavor. 🤔

[@StKildaBlvd]

From Australia, I'm a diehard Ketchup fan. I put Heinz on everything. Don't judge me lol

[@user-do5hd7zb4x]

I support your right to make your own ketchup. I think it is a practical alternative to the China tomato. Thank you for doing this documentary. I may switch to mustard instead. If I see your Timecapsule ketchup on the shelves I may give it a try. I had no idea they used lead and sawdust and anchovies in ketchup. I always thought they used tomatoes and vinegar and sugar and maybe onions?

[@EclecticDD]

You didn't even like your own sauce? When I lived abroad I used my Betty Crocker cookbook so I could make my own BBQ sauce and Sloppy Joes from scratch.

[@sameedshariq5080]

So happy maggi ketchup made it into this

[@terrypfeffer8504]

Anyone who grew up in Pittsburgh PA knows all about H J Heinz

[@NewsGuyFred]

These days, as an American, I eat ketchup usually only with fries and some burgers. That’s it. I don’t NEED it on burgers BUT I can’t enjoy fries without ketchup

[@JimJones-kj8jk]

As a Filipino, we prefer Banana Ketchup.

[@MTurner504]

Try dipping McDonald's fries into their original honey sauce.....its pretty good in my opinion 😊

[@michaeladkins6]

John Kerry approves this message.

[@tunahan4418]

Curry ketchup > tomato ketchup Edit: you mentioned curry was more popular in Belgium and it's true I'm Belgian lol Sidenote: in Belgium and Netherlands McDonald's has a sauce called frietensaus or zoete mayonaise. It's way better than anything with fries

[@electricgecko8997]

I personally prefer to eat my fries with nothing but salt on them. I like the actual taste of good fries. Am I weird?

[@BullittOutdoors]

McDonalds are great plain, Wendy’s and In-n-Out need ketchup

[@yannikkommdarunter]

Just making a comment for the algorythm 😊

[@Chomp-Rock]

Hear me out. Mayo.

[@EdwardConnors]

Interesting.... ;)

[@wongjefx980]

French's ...the ketchup in Canada... Never seen Hunt's. Heinz has most brand recognition.

[@wta1518]

Quebec probably made it illegal to eat anything but French's, except it must be called Français.

[@miralpatel-fw2ih]

Love from india

[@graemeenglish9600]

They make it out of bananas in the philippines. Catsup.

[@jasonschoenmann2308]

Common BBQ sauce and is ketchup based. You had your chance to trick the producers

[@180_S]

Heinz is the best ketchup though.

[@terrypfeffer8504]

I don't eat ketchup, mustard or mayo

[@paulo4771]

Heinz may have taken over America, but any proper Canadian wouldn't touch the stuff after Heinz unexpectedly decided to pull out of Leamington, Ontario. leaving 600 people suddenly unemployed. French's stepped in and put them back to work where it makes the true ketchup of Canada, and fortunately it's actually better than Heinz IMO...and many other's. I won't have a Heinz product in my home.

[@Thelionatays]

Ketchup is so gross and I live in Pennsylvania

[@Lam-paul]

Thank you for the content!! All we need is the right advice on how to invest in crypto and we will be set for life, I made over a million dollars from trading this year regardless of the market conditions😊

[@LewisShaw40]

I've been investing in Bitcoin by myself. I'm not really happy with what's going on, just few weeks ago I lost about $7,000 in a particular trade. Can you help me out or at least advise me on what to do?

[@Lam-paul]

I will advise you stop trading on your own if you keep losing. And i don't trade on my own anymore, I always required help and assistance

[@Lam-paul]

from my personal financial advisor

[@Benjaminjack-gh2zq]

I have heard a lot of wonderful things about Brisa Richardson on the news but didn't believe it until now. I'm definitely trying her out

[@ChirsRobinson]

Such a genuine personality!!, Sincerely speaking. I will continue to trade and stick to Brisa Richardson daily signals and guides as long as it works well for me.

[@jamescook2199]

You cant say hard tack without @maxmiller
