Condiments in the News
Greetings devoted readers!
I'm adding a new, occasional feature to this blog - "Condiments in the News!" It does happen -- more often than you think. The misuse, abuse and denigration of some condiments. The celebration of others (did you know there's a mustard museum in Wisconsin? http://www.mustardmuseum.com/ No, I haven't been there. Yet.)
Anyhoo, I did a search on Yahoo news with the name of a maligned condiment, ketchup, and the first hit was a very intriguing article in the Times of India:
After ketchup, booze, Army faces sex taint
Goodness, what does that mean? I went to the article, but it only detailed the sexual harrassment complaints by a female officer. No mention of ketchup. And it sounds like a juicy scandal since I've rarely seen ketchup linked with booze. Wouldn't that be funny? A new crime -- Driving While Under the Influence of Condiments. Maybe in some bad Indie film, there's a scene where a recovered alcoholic falls off the wagon after sampling some bad ketchup. If there's not, I will write one.
So, I did a search on ketchup on the Times of India site and found the source of the scandal: a Colonel in the Indian army told his superiors that he had killed some militants, producing a fake photo of some soldiers covered in ketchup as evidence.
The misuse, abuse and denigration of ketchup. It's the fourth horseman of the apocalypse people. We are truly in the end times.
Give your ketchup bottle a hug!
