    This manuscript also contained a recipe for walnut ketchup

    finished with spices such as mace

    The final product had a dark color that was derived from the spores that transferred from the mushrooms to the solution

    This version also uses red wine in the ketchup’s preparation

    This book also includes a preparation for “double ketchup” … which doubles its strength

    recipes for camp ketchup used ingredients such as mushroom ketchup, vinegar, walnut ketchup, anchovy, soy, garlic, cayenne pods and salt

    People really used to do just fucking anything

      There was a crazy amount of variety in at least American recipes and cuisine until the turn of the 20th century when modern grocery store practices replaced older ways of managing a food store and food distribution. Innovations in canning, refrigeration, and other food preservation technologies allowed for the creation of larger, centralized factories that could mass produce products that could be shipped further away. Food prices and meal preparation times dropped, but so did variety and unique food cultures across most home kitchens.
