[Sca-cooks] ketchup books to read

[Johnna Holloway]

For tomato books and ketchup books there is one person
everyone should read---
That is Andrew F. Smith the food historian from New York.
If you watch the food history programs on the History Network, you've  
seen him.
http://www.amazon.com/Andrew-F.-Smith/e/B001ITXEP0/ref=sr_tc_ep?qid=1297441191

He's the author of  The Tomato in America: Early History, Culture, and  
Cookery (which includes all the earlier European material too);  Pure  
Ketchup; Souper Tomatoes: The Story of America's Favorite Food;
Plus he's also done books on popcorn, peanuts, and the turkey.

We don't need to really rehash the history of ketchup. It's in the  
archives or just read the books listed above.
