Well, currently then, only the rich can afford them. I mean really, who is going to dish out six bucks for brand name mayo when the store brand is half the price. You check out what a bottle of Heinz ketchup cost? You need a loan from a bank to buy a bottle. Time to bring back that song Anticipation, only with a whole new meaning.

Well, i do not buy seed oil using mayo. And so, i do not buy any name brand mayo.
It's not hard to make it yourself.

That reminds me, I need ketchup.

Thanks!

lol, I've been rather lucky lately. Had a coupon for Rold Gold, plus it was on sale, got it for under a buck. The other day another coupon kicked out for it, and I used it the other day to buy another bottle, paid $1.49 after the coupon discount. It's really good tasting ketchup, not that I am that into ketchup but the number rule one of all in this house, is never run out of ketchup for the grand kids who douse it with, or in just about everything they eat.

I have recently begun learning to make things at home. Ketchup is basically a sweet fruit based sauce, and I once read a recipe to make it from blueberries. I recall it was originally based on a Chinese plum sauce. I bet I could make ketchup, but haven't graduated to that level of kitchen competence. I am about to try to make mayo, since that seems to require oil, egg yolk, and vinegar or some other acidic substance like lemon juice, and stirring. Little could be simpler, so I'll start there.
