Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for November 13, 2014

I guess ‘twas in honor of Sam who gave Dallas, Texas’s NBA team name. As for the Olympics, times sure have changed in 110 years to let women play anything else. As for that Floridan bistro, what’s wrong with people over ten not having ketchup?

Are Bart & Bret any relation??

How would the branders like their hide on their ass burned with an iron? In the biblicall accounts I never heard of them branding the herd, yet they knew their animals and all their spots and blemishes.

Imagine going to that Mad Fresh Bistro with a case of ketchup packages.

“The story I heard, was that most cattle ranchers did not brand their cattle, Sam Maverick would round up some unbranded cattle and brand them, the original owners could not prove the cattle were theirs so Sam Maverick owned the cattle.”~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Actually, that makes more sense.

There’s a restaurant in Disney World (I forget what it’s called) that does the complete opposite. If you ask for ketchup, you’ll wind up getting 7-8 bottles of ketchup brought to your table.

My dad raised a few cattle and ID them with ear tags.(Nobody branded in our area) Some kids were visiting the farm once and one exclaimed , oh look! They have price tags in their ears!

I don’t understand the Ketchup thing..If you watch cooking shows many experienced chefs(Jacque Pepin,Ming..etc) use both ketchup and mustard as a ingredient to make fine sauces.

I just looked at the menu of Mad Fresh Bistro and anyone who puts catsup on the food ordered should be shot. Just go to McDonalds. In High School only the girls were allowed to shoot archery, boys had to play football, baseball or basketball, which I hate.

I couldn’t go to that restaurant. I love ketchup.

At the B & B i stayed at in Edinburgh, Scotland, the owner referred to a lot of sauces by their color. Ketchup was ‘red sauce’. Oh, an aside: Where did the spinoff name ‘catsup’ come from? Did Heinz or some other company originally have rights to the name ‘ketchup’?

The wife all but orders ketchup in restaurants when requesting something like a steak….

I’ve given up trying to fix that. 39 years of it, and I’m tired….

On our honeymoon, in South Georgia on the way to Miami, we had supper at a very busy restaurant, and had to send the steaks back about three times to get ’em done enough for them to not walk off the plate. Worth the wait, though.

About fifteen years later, on a business trip alone, I decided to visit the same restaurant.

Right…. The steak had to go back at least twice….

(I don’t use ketchup myself….)

‘Catsup’ is an earlier ‘version’ of the name, from India, I think. Ketchup is the european version, via the English, who never saw the word printed in English, only heard it, and had to guess how to spell it. It came to this country with later English immigrants.
