I stopped at Angela's Cafe the other day and ordered breakfast to go...scrambled eggs, hash browns and biscuits...my idea of heaven on a Saturday morning.

Anyway, the lady behind the counter loaded my to go bag with jelly and napkins and eating utensils and little packets of 'fancy ketchup' (for my hashbrowns, I'm guessing).

What exactly is fancy ketchup? I consulted Websters and found out that fancy, used as an adjective means "not plain" so I'm thinking in the case of this little packet of ketchup, that by adding distilled vinegar, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, salt, spice, onion powder, and natural flavoring to tomatoes, the manufacturers took plain old ketchup and made it 'fancy.'

But I'm wondering if they hadn't added all those ingredients to tomatoes anyway, it wouldn't have been ketchup, would it?

Point is, if I'm going to enjoy fancy ketchup, I want more for my money. Maybe throw in a little hat with flowers, a little lace, something sleek and satin, or at the very least, a petticoat or two?
