The Wild History of America’s Favorite Condiments (Ketchup, Ranch, Mayo & More)
Have YOU Heard?
Ketchup started as funky fermented fish sauce.
Mayonnaise might have been invented after a battle.
Ranch dressing was created by a plumber in Alaska.
America loves condiments — but the stories behind them are even crazier.
In this episode of Have YOU Heard?, I dive into the surprising history of the five most popular condiments in the United States: ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, hot sauce, and ranch dressing. From ancient Chinese sauces and Roman mustard recipes to Aztec chili traditions and a dude ranch mail-order empire, these everyday toppings have traveled thousands of years to land on your plate.
If you love food history, weird facts, and mind-blowing origin stories, this episode is for you.
