I can find it at Publix and at Meijer.

Granted, they call sausages "bangers", get pissed instead of drunk and ask for tomato ketchup.

Be darned. I don't think I've ever been drunk enough to ask for tomato ketchup.

O.H.

My wife’s family call the egg fried in the hole in the bread………an egg in a hat, as they fry/brown the bread circle too and place it on top.

A friend from Pennsylvania called a fried egg in corned beef hash "Toad In A Hole".

 

[Rusty Blade]

This is what I think of when I hear people talking about toad in the hole too

Yes, this is the Toad in the Hole we make every Sunday. Hole in the middle of bread or bread lightly toasted, drop in an egg (either break the yoke or leave intact) and fry until cooked. Just a bit of fun really. Kids like it because its a novelty.

A few years ago I would have agreed with you but I now prefer banana ketchup. To be honest it tastes a lot like tomato ketchup but the anghang version is a little spicy.

My favourite sauce of all is HP sauce but that is never referred to as ketchup but instead as 'brown sauce'. Other brown sauces are available but this is the best.

Banana ketchup has an interesting history. The inventor Maria Orosa is a WW2 war hero. Studied in the US and brought 4-H to the Philippines to teach nutrition and food preservation To women. An amazing person with an amazing story.

Egg in the toast hole was always called Bird in a Nest when I was growing up.

We call it eggs a la Moonstruck.

What other kind of ketchup is there?

Mushroom ketchup has been around for a least a couple hundred years.

I cannot recall the spelling, but I under stand some Chinese condiment called kao cheop had fermented fish and was not only a forerunner of ketchup but the source for its name. Of course I may have just imagined that.

From what I understand, there is some debate of the origin of the name, but that is certainly one of the theories.

Mushroom ketchup has been forgotten for a century.

Then you should check out the Townsend’s social media pages. The guy that does it deals in late 18th century and early 19th century food trends and cooking techniques. He makes a lot of recipes from that era and one of them is a mushroom ketchup

I find myself watching Townsend's YouTube channel quite often, along with Tasting History with Max Miller.
