pass the ketchup please

just like anything else in this world, ketchup has so many kinds and variations that you can have a certain type for whatever mood you're in and eating.

for burgers and fries heinz is the ketchup for me. or any kind of ketchup that's from the states, coz they basically taste the same.

here in the philippines we have banana catsup. when i first heard of it i thought that was weird! how can ketcup made of bananas taste good? i wouldn't touch the stuff but there was a time when my mom bought a bottle and since i love ketchup i tried it. and it tastes good!

but one thing that banana catsup (particularly Jufran) tastes unbelievable with is Max's fried chicken! i don't know what they do with the marinade but it's sooo good. but if you try homemade fried chicken with jufran it's ok but can't compare with Max's.

i don't know of anyone who can claim they can make chicken like Max's. and here in the philippines there aren't cook books or recipes that you can follow that teach you how to whip up food that will taste like it's from your favorite restos. so i guess Max's is lucky in that way coz you can only have chicken like theirs at their restaurants :-)
