    Heinz 57 is not just ketchup, and has been on shelves as far back in the 70’s as I remember. Guessing it is “mostly” ketchup-ish and shares a base, but the color and flavor is not the same. Wikipedia says: “By 1940, the term "Heinz 57" had become so synonymous with the company the name was used to market a steak sauce, which had a taste similar to ketchup. Because of this, its advertising campaign in the late 1980s and early 1990s used the slogan "It's like ketchup with a kick"”

      I used Heinz 57 sauce on Salisbury steak when I was a kid in the '70s. It's more like ketchup mixed with a touch of Worcester and mustard.

    Love these, but I do like The Customer is Always Wrong, or tasting pre-mixed things be they canned, boxed, or others a bit more since those are things people order intentionally that might be terrible.
    Edit: Also on the note of drinks that might be bad ideas as a fan of the Battletech universe I've been planning to try and drink a House Steiner PPC which is 4 parts grain alcohol 2 parts peppermint schnapps. Think this is a bad idea HTD fans?

    For the mold fashioned: Several types of baijiu use mold-based fermentation rather than the more traditional yeast. And while they have a pretty strong flavor, it's not as outright _weird_ as some of the yeast-based ones where umami dominates the flavor profile.

    • @GaldirEonai
      @GaldirEonai 6 месяцев назад +1

      Sake uses a mold to break up the starch into its monosaccharid components, which are then fermented into alcohol by yeast. So that might have worked too as an ingredient, but Sake has a pretty subtle flavor and isn't particularly strong either so it wouldn't do much to a cocktail other than dilute it a bit.

    As funny as it is watching Greg's reaction to drinking something that tastes exactly as terrible as it sounds, my favourites are when he discovers something that really shouldn't work, but does. You'd think that mixology is such a well-explored field by now that pretty much all the flavour combinations that actually work would have been discovered already, so it's really cool to find out about new combinations I might actually want to try no matter how god-awful they may sound on paper.

    I have wanted to try some of these weirder drinks, but I don't have a lot of money and can't usually justify buying a bunch of weird liquors for a drink that will probably be terrible. But i have all the ingredients for a Pepperoni! The verdict: Yeah, that's not bad at all actually. Not quite as good as a Negroni, and the campari stands out a lot more, with the Dr. Pepper sort of providing harmony in the background. I think maybe it needs a little tinkering to be good enough to be worth making, but it's definitely not bad and has totally sold me on the combination of Campari and Dr. Pepper. I feel like maybe it just needs one more ingredient to go from "not bad" up to "good" but it is actually a surprisingly solid foundation.
