Re: [RBW] Caveman ketchup

Up until the advent of processed foods, most "condiments" were fermented veggies w/ spices -- and that's where they got their zest from. Vinegar is the lazy, production line friendly way to get something sort of similar, but you lose a lot of the health benefits of fermented foods (gut flora hi
