[QUOTE="Frood, post: 1353593, member: 37"] Almost every vegetable or fruit has some naturally occurring sugars, no matter how miniscule... but adding to it so you can taste the cane farm? Fuck off.... Millie hit the nail on the head when Adam Pontipee (in the boarding house she was cooking for) asked, "got any ketchup handy?" as she was laying out her food on his plate... she said, "my stew can stand on its own two legs".... ...he tasted it, nodded, then hoed into it. Ketchup was traditionally used to make unpalatable meals easier to swallow. It was function...not flavour. Likewise, hard liquor was added to water in the old days to not give one the shits... ...and up until the mid 90's, American born kids of Mexican descent had family reunions south of the border and came back with mouth ulcers from drinking too much soft drink because their parents insisted they never drink the tap water. Form, flavour, and function. Most of people's culinary customs have no basis in reality... or that reality has long since expired, but it becomes tradition. Like breakfast cereals... [/QUOTE]
