Origin Of Catsup.

Many ladies make tomato cat
sup, and for the benefit of those
who do not already know we
here give the origin of the word,
which was discovered through
the accidental using Of the
wrong condiments.
A manufacturer of sweet pres
serves allowed a new attendant
to season large kettle of tomato
preserves and returned to see if
the compound had been seasoned
sufficiently. Upon tasting the
mixture he found that it was not
as it should be, and in grieving
tones exclaimed:
The cats up!'
The kettle was put to one
side, and when its contents were
tasted again to see what was
wrong the mixture was found to
be toothsome and good On meats.
So it was really called catsup.
