Today we imagine ketchup as the ultimate modern American food (and it is true that we like to put ketchup on…well, a lot of things). But ketchup’s origins are found in Asia, and its adaptation *cough - appropriation into the thing that resembles our thick, modern-day ketchup began in early modern Britain. ⠀⠀ The word “ketchup” is borrowed either from the Chinese Fujian dialect (鲑汁 kôe-chiap, a brine of pickled fish or shellfish, with “kôe” as a kind of fish, and “chiap” as juice or sauce), and/or from Malay (with “kecap” or “kicap,” soy sauce). It’s likely that Britons encountered this tasty sauce – a thin, black-brown liquid that was either a type of fish sauce or a type of soy sauce – during acts of travel and colonization. ⠀⠀ In other words, ketchup wasn’t necessarily made with tomatoes, at least not at first. Back in the day, according to the Online Etymology Dictionary, the “most esteemed kinds” of ketchup were mushroom, walnut, and tomato, which emerged around 1800 in the U.S. and predominated from the early 20th century. ⠀⠀ Flavor, spice, and shelf-life were clearly important to early modern British ketchup-makers as they attempted to replicate the soy and fish sauces that had come to them via acts of travel, conquest, and colonization. But just as these Britons worked to use and enjoy Chinese and/or Malay sauces, they simultaneously adapted them, changing the recipes to suit their own tastes, needs, expectations, and palates. ⠀⠀ White Europeans appropriated, gleaned, bought, and stole knowledge and knowledge-systems from indigenous.

Love is shown with a big plate of cut up fruits after every meal in my family 🍉🍇🍊🍑🥭🍍🥝 I’ve been missing home and it was therapeutic drawing my traditional attire in this illustration. Sarongs are not just beach attire, it’s actually worn at home and also formal occasions for both men and women in perankan culture and other communities in South East Asia #notcrazyrichasians . #aznsauceoflove series for #aphm . . . #condenesedmilk #asianlovelanguage #howasianparentsshowlove #asianfoodstory #aapiheritagemonth #aapi #aapi2020 #aapimonth #peranakan #peranakanstyle #aapiheritage #asianaf #asianfoodie #asianmom #asianmomsbelike #asiansauce #sauceinmyfridge #asiancreative #asianartist #wocartist #asianmoms #sarongkebaya #proudperanakan #nyonyakebaya #apahm #byshawnachan (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAVkrIvByzM/?igshid=tt3xt8frqsck

5/31 Hoping this would uplift some spirits and regain light and love in this country 🖤 Presenting the essential sauce of some Asian household and the last of #aznsauceoflove series - BGG 3 Cats Fish Sauce 🐟 A nod to Viet Huong Fish Sauce Company, which got its start in San Francisco in the 1980s. Entrepreneurial Chinese-Vietnamese immigrant Mr. Chung started blending his fish sauce in his garage in the Outer Sunset district. His tinkering eventually led to the birth of the popular 3 Crabs Fish Sauce 🦀 . . . #asianlovelanguage #3crabs #3crabsfishsauce #fishsauce #howasianparentsshowlove #asianfoodstory #aapiheritagemonth #aapi #aapi2020 #aapimonth #aapiheritage #asianaf #asianpacificheritagemonth #asianfoodie #asianmom #asianmomsbelike #asiansauce #sauceinmyfridge #asiancreative #asianartist #wocartist #asianmoms #aaphm #immigrantsmakeamericagreat #bloodygirlgang (at Outer Sunset, San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA2zbguByqi/?igshid=jlbcd69mww95

#Repost @goforbrokespiritbook • • • • • • Leighton “Goro” Sumida saw many horrors of war. A German soldier taking his last breath. A new kid in a fox hole had an artillery blast blow his brains into his helmet, eyeballs in the trenches, legs all torn up and twisting in the wrong direction. And worst of all, fellow dying soldiers asking him to kill them to save them from suffering. When battling to Rome he remembers the 442 cleared the last roadblock but were then ordered to withdraw so that the White American troops could come in and “save the city.” So they stood by and watched as the Haole (Caucasian) troops rode by and took the credit as the city’ s saviors. When he arrived in France, the fighting was still fierce and the 2nd Platoon was practically lost with heavy casualties. The Germans were over on the next bank and shelling the soldiers. The forest was so thick that the “tree bursts” would shower them with burning branches and shrapnel. Once in Bruyères, France, they were greeted with hugs from the locals. To this day there is an annual celebration called “Cérémonies de la Libération de Bruyères par le 442 RCT” or Ceremonies of the Liberation of Bruyères by the 442 RCT and a monument honoring these Japanese Americans, whom they thank for their liberation. It’s ironic and disappointing that there is no celebration of this kind in the United States. . Read the rest of his and other Nisei veterans stories in "The Go For Broke Spirit".
