Ketchup: The Tomato Sauce of Our Times (but not all times)
from The Mundane With Chris & Dave · host Chris & Dave
Dave & Chris relish the opportunity to look into that squirty red stuff that everyone probably has in their fridge and reveal why ketchup wasn't always tomato sauce. They also look at how the blood of tomatoes became so ubiquitous to the western diet, different coloured sauces, how many varieties Heinz actually started with, as well as why their friend James won't have any of it.
