Potus
Having had the opportunity to review "Potus" on Broadway a few years back, I passed on it. I have been fortunate to be a Broadway critic for many years and I get to chose which shows that I want to see. The reason I passed on it was that it looked kind of foolish. After reading fellow critics reviews I was glad that I passed as they had murdered it. When this show came on schedule at The Bergen County Players I figured "why not".

DAILY FOOD WITH SECRET ORIGIN PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT
ketchup Unbelievably, ketchup originated as "ke-tsiap," a fermented fish sauce, in 17th-century China. This salty, umami-rich condiment, which was made from fermented fish brine, was used to add taste to a variety of foods.

The fish was eventually substituted with tomatoes, but before the traditional tomato-based recipe appeared, other ingredients such as mushrooms, walnuts, and even anchovies were employed.
