Heinz did not invent ketchup. In the old west when cowboys had to go out on the range to tend their cattle or drive the heaqrd to market they had to stay out for weeks and months. They had to carry all their food with them that was in very bad shape after a few weeks and did not taste very good. The Chinese cooks prepared a condiment of stewed tomatoes with sugar and vinegar.
