Ketchup, (also spelled catsup, catchup, ketsup) is a condiment that in modern times is usually made from tomatoes. The ingredients in a typical modern ketchup are tomato concentrate, spirit vinegar, corn syrup, high-fructose corn syrup or other sugar, salt, spice and herb extracts (including celery), spice and garlic powder. Allspice, cloves, cinnamon, onion, and other vegetables may be included.

Ketchup is often used with french fries, chips, hot dogs, hamburgers, various kinds of cooked meat and as a base for sauces. In countries such as Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and the United Kingdom the term "tomato sauce" is often used instead of the word ketchup. Ketchup is also known as tomato ketchup, red sauce, Tommy sauce, Tommy K, or dead horse in Australian rhyming slang.

What is it about ketchup that makes it such a good cleaner for copper and brass?
Q. I got a tip from my daughter-in-law the other day to use ketchup to clean copper pots. I tried it there and on other projects and find that it works better than the commercial cleaners sold in grocery stores. What is it in this mixture of spices and tomatoe that works so well?

Help! How can I get ketchup out of a white shirt without bleaching it?
Q. It's one of my favorite shirts and today the ketchup machine in the cafe malfunctioned and a big glob squirted all down my shirt, from the shoulder down to my jeans. Is there any way to save it? There is a pink and green rose printed on it right where a lot of the ketchup is, how can I avoid messing up that area?

A. I swear by using Shout. This is what I have done for this. I have an old toothbrush that I just use for my laundry. I would spray some Shout on it and give it a good scrub. Spray a little more and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then I go back and put a little laundry soap on it and scrub it. Spray a little more Shout and put it in the washer. Sometimes it may not all come out the first time since some stains like ketchup and mustard are harder than others. But it has never failed me yet!
