Rejoice, fellow peasants!
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has decided to enter into the exotic world of condiments with the release of a new "royal ketchup" that can only be purchased directly from her Sandringham Royal Estate in England.
From Fansided:
Your fridge is about to get a ‘royal' upgrade because the Queen is releasing her very own line of condiments. The saucy line including, Tomato Sauce (ketchup) and Brown Sauce (aka steak sauce), is produced at the Queen's estate in Sandringham, Norfolk. That's right, your ketchup can now be served right from "your majesty"!
The Tomato Sauce is made with dates, apple juice and spices, according to The Sun, and "ideal for breakfast or any time of the day." Yes, this means you can and should put this on all your meals to feel like royalty.
The Queen's Brown Sauce is "packed with vinegar and spices," a source told the Sun. For an American comparison, Brown Sauce, is similar to Worcestershire sauce, making it suitable to pair with a steak.
As a general rule, I don't care about what the English monarchy is doing, considering we kicked it to the curb nearly 250 years ago.
In this case, however, I feel it's important to assert just how amazing and superior American condiments are to those of our former English overlords.
I could literally rest my case with this:
As any red-blooded American knows, our condiment game doesn't end there.
Nearly every southern state has its own unique barbecue sauce, each more flavorful than anything past English monarchy ever enjoyed during their entire mortal lives on earth.
Let's not also forget that tomato "Catsup" was an American invention.
Earlier versions of ketchup made in England were made with mushrooms.
I don't even have time to dive into the diverse richness of Tabasco, creole mustard, Texas Pete, various salsas, maple-and-bourbon infused goodness, fry sauce, beer cheese dip, blue cheese dressing, or God's gift to mankind: Chick-Fil-A sauce.
But if you're tired of all this freedom-loving American goodness and want to pony up $9 USD to the British monarchy for a bottle of ketchup, be my guest!
