Another interesting website

This site specializes in individual sized packets for travel and camping;

http://www.minimus.biz/default.aspx

The prices look reasonable and it's the only place I've found that sells parmesan cheese in individual packets. I'm still trying to figure out an excuse why I need to buy some 2.25 oz glass bottles of Heinz catsup.

It's definitely interesting, if not actually useful.

Cool site. Looks like a lot of the stuff I "liberate" from hotels that have good morning breakfast spreads. :-)

By the way, why is ketchup called/spelled catsup?

Catsup sounds like cat-soup to me and catsoup I would expect in a chinese ration or restaurant... :D

Here's more than you probably wanted to know about the whole ketchup/catsup controversy:

Interestingly enough there *is* a Chinese connection:
The website above wrote:Ke-tsiap or Kecap was a spicy pickled-fish condiment popular in 17th-century China and is said to be the origin of the name "ketchup." British seamen brought the ke-tsiap home, then introducing it to other nations.

Dang, Kman.......... Where do you get this stuff?! :shock:


Hey there Big Galloot ---- check your local Wally World (Wal Mart) for those teeny, tiny, bottles of Heinz "Cat Soup" (good one housil! :lol: ). My Super Wally carries them in their Deli Department near the cooked / prepared food area. Not sure what the price is though.....
