Ketchup

Chipotle powder, ground from smoked jalapenos, is available in the spice aisle of many supermarkets. It gives this ketchup a smoky kick. You can also use cayenne pepper. Makes about 2 3/4 cups 2 tablespoons canola oil 1 onion, finely chopped 1 tablespoon chili powder 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder or cayenne pepper 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander Scant 1/4 teaspoon allspice Scant 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 1 can (28 ounces)

You may not feel the same about conventional ketchup after tasting Sir Kensington's Gourmet Scooping Ketchup. There are two flavors, classic and spiced ($7.95 for an 11-ounce jar), both thick and rich from whole tomatoes, sweet from raw sugar and agave nectar, tangy from apple cider vinegar and lime juice. Chipotle and jalapenos bring a dose of heat and smoke to the darker, spicier version, which makes a good cocktail sauce or Bloody Mary. Though a dapper gent adorns the label, Sir Kensington is fictitious.

LOS ANGELES - Tucked into the streets and boulevards of this sprawling culinary mecca are places in Little Tokyo to slurp ramen soup, in central LA to savor Guatemalan tamales, in Chicano neighborhoods to dine on authentic Mexican specialties. Now you can also find two little restaurants that feature currywurst, Germany's popular street food. Currywurst is traditionally made with thickly sliced sausages grilled or fried and seasoned with curried ketchup and a generous sprinkle of curry powder.

One day in the office, they got to talking about Belgian pommes frites. They loved the shops in Brussels, Amsterdam, and New York. They started craving the fries, but they couldn’t find a pommes frites place in Boston. “We should open one,’’ they joked. A short time later, they were laid off. The pommes frites shop they had talked about in jest suddenly seemed like a really good idea.

NEW YORK — A dollar for a 40-ounce bottle of ketchup? Yawn. Four bucks for a 12-pack of Coke? No sale. Even deep discounts on everyday items don’t seem to be enough to get Walmart shoppers to bite these days, and other chains are worried Americans won’t be in the mood to spend in the months ahead, which are critical for those companies. Yesterday, quarterly financial results from retailers including Home Depot and Abercrombie & Fitch showed that profits are rising because retailers are cutting costs and keeping their inventories lean.
