We have a lot of diversity so I hear both Soda, pop and some even say all sodas are coke!

Like what kind of coke do you want? Root beer?

Dh puts ketchup on just about any potato except mashed. We were at a restaurant and he ordered the home fries. He was surprised that he had to ask for ketchup; said every waitress in Pittsburgh put ketchup on the table when serving potatoes.

Quick poll: Anyone besides R2elk spell it "catsup"? Is it a regional thing? I almost never see it that way here in Michigan.

SW PA is definitely put ketchup on french fries. A small town cafe in Wyoming is the only place I had ever gotten french fries with gravy on them.

Catsup takes one less letter to spell than ketchup.

"When Did Catsup Become Ketchup?
Up until the late 1800s what we now know as ketchup was referred to as catsup. In fact, it was only in the 1880s that this name change happened, and it was all thanks to one of the biggest companies in the condiments industry, Heinz. Prior to the 1880s, everybody referred to 'ketchup' as 'catsup' as this is what this sauce was traditionally called. This might come as a surprise to some people because it is easy to assume that ketchup is a recent invention, but this tomato sauce has actually been around for centuries. In the 1880s, Heinz rebranded their 'catsup', giving it the name 'ketchup' instead in order to stand out from their competitors. And it is safe to say that the name stuck. Since then pretty much every condiments manufacturer has adopted the name ketchup, and the name 'catsup' has been forgotten as a thing of the past."

Apparently it's an old folks thing.

It’s soda or coke around here. If some you say pop we think your talking about the music genre. Also freaked out many a New England relative by asking if they had any coke.

Tomato sauce, or ketchup.
Pop is pop you drink it. Coke is coca cola or just cola.. or something you powder your nose with.

I prefer Chilli Sauce.. (Heinz) Aria

I can't remember all the details, it was long ago, but there was a company that tried to market a better 'catsup' instead of the usual sugar, they used honey instead. Well the catsup industry, for lack of a better word, sued them and won, forcing them to take the word catsup out of it's name, because it did NOT have sugar in it, therefore was not catsup, or call it imitation catsup. Needless to say it didn't last long after that.

Re: Gravy

My mom thought she had wrecked the gravy because she didn't know to keep cooking and stirring after adding the flour/water. A quick stir... didn't look like gravy, and she threw it out. She told me she probably threw out a few years' worth of potential gravy.

Dh puts ketchup on scrambled eggs.

In West Virginia they used "catsup".
