If I'm going to be decadent with fries, it's chili and cheddar cheese. [Linked Image from i48.photobucket.com]
actually, i discovered this is a new england diner. down here, it seems to be unheard of. but chili and cheese works too.

WTF? Should we start spelling Mustard 'mouseturd?'
No Rick that's entirely wrong. Acadian French settlers in the New Orleans region brought that condiment down the Mississipi with them with them from Canada. The proper spelling is Moutarde but being Canadian and having an unsophisticated sense of humour they had begun calling it Moose-turd. Hence the American bastardization of the word.

The word ketchup comes from the Chinese word “kôe-chiap” or “ke-tsiap,” meaning “brine of pickled fish or shellfish.” The original Chinese type of ketchup tasted more like soy or Worcestershire sauce, and did, of course, contain fish brine, plus herbs and spices. There were no tomatoes involved. The early recipe “traveled,” as good recipes do, to Malaysia and Indonesia. 17th century English sailors encountered the sauce in their journeys, and took the sauce and recipe concept home to England. (Another theory states that British explorers first discovered the condiment in Southeast Asia.) At any rate, instructions for making ketchups then spread to other parts of the Western world. The sauce was first mentioned in print in the English language in 1690. In 1748 in the Housekeeper's Pocketbook, Mrs. Harrison recommended that the homemaker never be without it.

Catsup? There ain't no "catsup" in my supermarkets. Only ketchup is sold here on the Left Coast.
