"Today catsup is legally defined by the Food and Drug Administration as a sauce thickened only with tomato solids and insect parts"
Yum.
Yes, apparently the site is the UN-cylopedia.
I especially like this part:
The product was invented when US Army scientists were looking for a combination Scurvy preventative and gun carriage axle grease. It was discovered by Theodore Roosevelt that a paste made of tomatoes, flavoured with Jesus and Sir Alan Sugar prevented scurvy, and had the right consistency to grease Axl Rose.
The Army began the widespread use of Roosevelt's invention. The grease worked so well on the axles of the artillery that they moved faster than the infantry. Indeed, the caisson drivers would shout to their infantry colleagues "Catch up, catch up!".
Once in place, the guns would be unlimbered, and the caissons parked. While parked, many artillery officers noticed that the local feline population found the tomato-based grease irresistible. An unidentified artillery soldier wrote home: "You should see the local cats sup on our caisson grease!" These two incidents gave rise to the popular names of the grease. Because both phenomena were noticed at the same time, both names were used for the product.
