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

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...

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?!
Hey there
Big Galloot ---- check your local Wally World (Wal Mart) for those teeny, tiny, bottles of Heinz "Cat Soup" (good one housil!

). My Super Wally carries them in their Deli Department near the cooked / prepared food area. Not sure what the price is though.....
