Last year I was having breakfast in Bath, England, and encountered a bottle of “Heinz Edchup.” Thanks to Google, I found that it was a promotion with a singer named Ed Sheeran who apparently has a serious fetish about ketchup. Later, I saw some in a store, so naturally, this Ed had to buy one and bring it home.
By the way, English traders brought “catchup” back from China in 1690. The name “ketchup” showed up in 1711 and “catsup” in “1730.” So if anyone asks you if the original name was “ketchup” or “catsup,” the answer is “no.”
