Has Heinz just created the fanciest, classiest condiment there ever was? All signs point to yes. To celebrate its 150th anniversary, Kraft Heinz has developed a truly unique — and possibly unnerving — take on ketchup: ketchup caviar. (But hey, at least it’s not ketchup ice cream.)

” I’ve never actually seen people eat it plain.”
I saw it in Peaky Blinders.
One of my favorite all time scenes from a movie, because this is exactly how I reacted when I ate caviar for the first and only time!
LOL!!! Forgot that scene was in the movie "Big." Thanks for reminding me. I've never had caviar. I don't eat seafood. Got sick after the first time I tried shrimp scampi, and the only fish I eat is tuna salad in tuna melts.
It’s good on deviled eggs too.
There are no fish eggs in ketchup caviar. There is a new trend in cooking that presents normal ingredients as “caviar”. ...... little balls of whatever liquid you have.
Honey, balsamic vinegar, sriracha, rum, lots and lots of things. It is lovely for a presentation, but probably more work than I am into.
Heh, I am not exaggerating-I like seafood, but...I hate fishy things. Despise the “fish” taste!
I was at a fancy party, just like that one, and a person carrying a tray asked if I would like some caviar, and I admit I didn’t know what it was at the time, only that it was something rich and and “sophisticated” people ate.
So I tried one, and I couldn’t spit it out fast enough, couldn’t get the taste out of my mouth! If I had had a single iota less “propriety”, I would have grabbed a napkin as he did, and scrubbed my tongue with it!
LOL!! I can imagine the scene by your description. I hate even going through the seafood/fish section at the grocery store. The smell makes me want to gag.
I worked as a Correctional Officer and Sergeant in NY State's prison system for 25 years. I worked in max and medium facilities. The last prison I worked at before I retired was medium security, with housing units where each unit had a fridge, and microwave. Hispanic inmates were partial to octopus or squid, which they could buy in a can from the commissary. They would make some kind of rice and bean dish with it.
As Sergeant I had to make rounds to each unit in the buildings I was supervising, speak to the officers in charge, and sign each unit's log book. I can't tell you how many times I had to hold my breath when I walked on a unit, because somebody had just nuked octopus or squid. It would hit you in the face when you walked in. I can only compare it to the horrible smell that periodically came from Tobin's Packing Company that was a couple of blocks from where I grew up in Rochester, New York. We called it the slaughter house. I don't know what they were doing that caused such a terrible smell, but it was so rancid that it made you want to hold your breath to prevent yourself from having to smell it. To me, that's what that octopus/squid smelled like when the inmates cooked it. I can tell you I didn't linger long on a unit when that horrible smell was in the air. I've been retired for 20 years, and can still remember how bad that smell was.
That’s great - funny stuff. Thanks for sharing rlmorel.
I’ll have to try that!
