Aboriginal.

Ab, a prefix meaning "not", as in "abnormal."
Original, a word meaning original.

Does "aboriginal" mean "pertaining to aborigines" or "not original?" Or both?

It is sometimes valuable to emphasize what is important as the river of dross gallops toward certain obscurity. This, then, should be the true Slogan of the MOAB:

For what is real, and what is aboriginal, cannot be fucked with.         

And it is only in recognizing this deep truth from Downstairs that we of MOAB can proceed fucking with everything else under the sun in the good name of MOAB and BS everywhere.

*The fact that ketchup (or catsup) is considered "king" in Idaho should in no way be understood to reflect negatively on King Khandu, who is also Tweed. The term "king" in this context is a hyperbolic expression used to indicate the importance Idahoers attach to this condiment as opposed to, say, Grey Poopon mustard.

Way out West, where the taters grow
Way out West, where ketchup's king*
Way out West, they made a new thing.

Took some ketchup an' some mayoNASE
Mixed 'em together with the greatest of aize
Took it down to Macdonald's 'n' ordered some fries
Dipped the fries in the...stuff...'n' ate it.

Way out West, in Idaho
Way out West, where masochists grow
Way out West, where they made Fry Dip
Way out West, where their taste buds slip.

Yeah, they call it Fry Dip and it's a local thing
Sometimes classic, sometimes with zing,
They dip french fries, even eat it on bread --
Ain't you glad you ain't way out West, in Idaho?

Lyrics for: The Ketchup Song

friday night it's party time
feeling ready looking fine
viene diego rumbeando
with the magic in his eyes
checking every girl in sight
grooving like he does the mambo
he's the man alli en la disco
playing sexy feeling hotter
he's the king bailando et ritmo ragatanga
and the dj that he knows well
on the spot always around twelve
plays the mix that diego mezcla can la salsa
y la mbaila and he dances y la canta
[Chorus:]
asereje ja de je de jebe
tu de jebere seibiunouva
majavi an de bugui an de buididipi
asereje ja de je de jebe tu de jebere seibiunouva
majavi an de bugui an de buididipi

many think its brujeria
how he comes and disappears
every move will hypnotize you
some will call it chuleria
others say that its the real
rastafari afrogitano

he's the alli en la disco
playing sexy feeling hotter
he's the king bailando
et ritmo ragatanga
and the dj that he knows well
on the spot always around twelve
plays the mix that diego mezcla con la salsa
y la baila and he dances y la canta
[repeat chorus]

Grad Student Soup

As much ketchup as you have or can get from the little packets in restaurants.

Hot Water

Mix the ketchup in the hot water. Serve in a styrofoam cup, coffee mug, bowl, or the pan you heated the water in. Eat with crackers or bread or stuff in it, if you have any.

Spaghetti With Out Sauce

Uncooked spaghetti

Boiling water

Put the spaghetti in the water. Boil it until it is soft. Pour off the water. Eat the spaghetti.

(For a gourmet thrill, squeeze little packets of ketchup on it for spaghetti sauce.)

Therefore, you will seldom find such a warm welcome -- or so frequently be so seldom ignored -- as you will with MOAB.

American Heritage On Line offers:

VARIANT FORMS: also catch·up ( kchp, kch-) or cat·sup ( ktsp,   kchp, kch-)

NOUN: A condiment consisting of a thick, smooth-textured, spicy sauce usually made from tomatoes.

ETYMOLOGY: Probably Malay kicap, fish sauce, possibly from Chinese (Cantonese) k-chap, equivalent to Chinese (Mandarin) qié, eggplant + Chinese (Mandarin) zh, sap, gravy.

WORD HISTORY: The word ketchup exemplifies the types of modifications that can take place in borrowing—both of words and substances. The source of our word ketchup may be the Malay word kchap, possibly taken into Malay from the Cantonese dialect of Chinese. Kchap, like ketchup, was a sauce, but one without tomatoes; rather, it contained fish brine, herbs, and spices. Sailors seem to have brought the sauce to Europe, where it was made with locally available ingredients such as the juice of mushrooms or walnuts. At some unknown point, when the juice of tomatoes was first used, ketchup as we know it was born. But it is important to realize that in the 18th and 19th centuries ketchup was a generic term for sauces whose only common ingredient was vinegar. The word is first recorded in English in 1690 in the form catchup, in 1711 in the form ketchup, and in 1730 in the form catsup. All three spelling variants of this foreign borrowing remain current.

1 liter dark 151 proof rum

Layer the walnut hulls, vinegar and peppers in a cider press and slooooooooooooowly squeeze out all the juice you can over three or four days. Do not collect this juice in anything, but let it run into the ground. While watching the juice drain, drink the rum.

just to be more or less complete:

Tomato Catsup or ketchup, or Katsup

Makes 2 pints in the US. In the UK it makes about a pint and a half

Ingredients:

2 1/2 quarts ripe tomatoes, sliced (15 to 17 medium sized)you CAN use green tomatoes - or even tomatillos - but that changes things
3/4 cup chopped onion
3 inch piece stick cinnamon
1 large garlic clove (finely chopped) or more - never too much garlic!
1 teaspoon whole cloves
1 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup sugar, or to taste
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

Preparation:

Simmer together tomatoes and onions for about 20 to 30 minutes. Run
the cooked onions and tomatoes through a sieve.

Place vinegar in an enamel pan. Add a spice bag containing the
cinnamon, cloves and garlic. Allow this to simmer for about 30
minutes. Remove spices.

Boil sieved tomatoes rapidly until one-half the original volume. Stir
frequently to prevent sticking. Add spiced vinegar, sugar, salt,
paprika and cayenne pepper to tomato mixture. Boil rapidly, stirring
constantly, about 10 minutes or until slightly thickened.

Pour into clean, hot, sterilized jars, leaving a 1/4 inch headspace.
Adjust seals and process for 5 minutes in a boiling water bath.

Note: You may want to add the sugar a little at a time depending on
your sweet preference. or leave it out alltogether

In honour of this visit from The Shambles, here's the Heinz Salad Cream Emmerdale Calendar

To their credit, Heinz is the first big-name condiment brand that has come out with an organic ketchup product. It's the only commercial brand of ketchup I can eat in the US because it's the only one that doesn't contain any corn. It tastes better than the regular US Heinz ketchup, but still not as good as the Canadian Heinz ketchup.

"Another Method of Making Walnut Catsup":

"Take green walnuts before the shell is formed, and grind them in a crab-mill, or pound them in a marble mortar. Squeeze out the juice through a coarse cloth, and put to every gallon of juice a pound of anchovies, and the same quantity of bay-salt, four ounces of Jamaica pepper; of mace, cloves, and ginger, each an ounce, and a stick of horseradish. Boil all together till reduced to half the quantity, and then put it into a pot. When it is cold, bottle it close, and in three months it will be fit for use."

Grape Catsup

Five cupfuls of pulp or juice, one cupful of brown sugar, one cupful of vinegar, one teaspoonful of black pepper, one teaspoonful of cloves, one teaspoonful of cinnamon, and one teaspoonful of salt. Boil half away.

Plum Catsup

Boil together for two hours nine pounds of seeded plums, six pounds of sugar, and three pints of the best cider vinegar. Just before removing from the fire add one tablespoonful each of cloves and allspice.


Mushroom Catsup

chop mushrooms and mix well with salt. Let sit two days. Add an equal quantitie of vinager. Spice with mace, cloves and pepper. Boil for an hour - strain. When cold, bottle.

TO PICKLE ENGLISH WALNUTS.
The walnuts should be gathered when the nut is so young that you can run a pin into it easily; pour boiling salt and water on, and let them be covered with it nine days, changing it every third day--take them out, and put them on dishes in the air for a few minutes, taking care to turn them over; this will make them black much sooner--put them in a pot, strew over some whole pepper, cloves, a little garlic, mustard seed, and horse-radish scraped and dried; cover them with strong cold vinegar.


TO MAKE WALNUT CATSUP.
Gather the walnuts as for pickling, and keep them in salt and water the same time; then pound them in a marble mortar--to every dozen walnuts, put a quart of vinegar; stir them well every day for a week, then put them in a bag, and press all the liquor through; to each quart, put a tea-spoonful of pounded cloves, and one of mace, with six cloves of garlic--boil it fifteen or twenty minutes, and bottle it.
