Today, my friends, the blog is about ketchup. The whole blog. How could I possibly fill a blog with Ketchup? Well - it started with dinner.
We met some friends and went to one of my favorite local places. And while dining, the ketchup was emptied by the three people at the table having burgers and fries.
So, as the ketchup bottle from our table was re-homed to a different table (and the ketchup from the re-homed location mysteriously stolen), we began discussing restaurant habits involving ketchup. Do they refill the bottle? Do they replace the bottle? How long could a refilled bottle stay on the table?
The answer? Bottles are replaced. At least at this particular restaurant!
Although, next time you eat ketchup, will you wonder how old it is? Is ketchup from, say, June somehow worse than ketchup from September?
And on the topic of restaurant habits- what about salt and pepper? Or, as my friend suggested, tartar sauce? Are those refilled or replaced? Does it matter?
