Fuck everything about this.
This. It looks like shit.
That looks frankly vile but I am curious how it tastes...
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.
Interesting, most mushroom ketchup I've seen is more liquid like what they make here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnRl40c5NSs
That looks like it could be super tasty. Crazy how consistency totally changes perception 😅
The photo submitter must have had a moment of doubt: should I really post this? Do I really want to associate this food with...this? And then they just went for it. Gotta respect it lol
