Janis: I wish they wouldn't put the labels on catsup upside down! Arlo: That's so it's at the "top", ready to pour! Janis: I KNOW that! Janis: I still wish they wouldn't do it!!
When I was a little kid, about 65 years ago, I noticed we never had ketchup in our house. When I asked why my Dad told me that using ‘that stuff’’ was an in-your-face insult to the cook, or worse, to your host. So, over the years, my wife and I never had ketchup on anything she made for us and our three children are the same. Now our three grandchildren never use it either.
The word will get around. When someone gives you food do you say, “This is awful! Can I hide the taste with some tomato paste?”
Same goes for in a restaurant. Why would a person pay good money out of pocket for a restaurant meal and then hide the actual taste with a cheap condiment – of any kind?
