I spent several years in Germany. While i was there i enjoyed Curry Catsup. 
A different type of catsup with curry powder placed over the top of it. 
Usually served with brats. Any help would be appreciated. CHRIS

Hello Chris,

You can buy it online here:

Here's one recipe that claims to be "authentic Berliner curry ketchup": "Combine a tablespoon of curry powder with a teaspoon of paprika. Dissolve this by diluting it in some beer or water and then add as much ketchup as you like. "This is an authentic Berliner curry ketchup sauce that is immensely popular all over Germany and is served on bratwurst."

and below is another recipe for homemade curry catsup.

Hello Lizette,

The Bloody Mary was invented in the 1920s by an American bartender named Fernand Petiot at "Harry's New York Bar" in Paris. The original recipe called for equal parts of vodka and tomato juice and the drink was called a "bucket of blood." In 1934, Petiot moved back to the States and worked at the King Cole Bar, St. Regis. Here, he added black and cayenne pepper, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce and lemon juice to spice up the drink for New Yorkers and called it a "red snapper." It's not clear exactly how the named became "bloody mary", but the connection to Mary Tudor, the "Bloody Mary" of English History, certainly contributed to the name becoming fixed for the drink.

Lizette, I could not find a recipe with 15 ingredients. Below is a traditional recipe, and below that one is one with 11 ingredients, including beef stock and clam juice.

Zwieback

Subject: Not really a recipie request

This is more like an historial food question - is there any way to find out 
a recipie's age?  I need to know if Zwieback was in general use before 1912.

Hello Lee,

Depends on how strict you want to be regarding "general use." The recipe for the bread that we call "zweiback" was brought to America by German immigrants in about 1890. The name "zweiback" first appeared in English language print in 1894. However, the bread itself certainly existed in Germany even before 1890 (although it may have been called by a different name), and similar twice-baked breads have been eaten in Europe since the Middle Ages, used as military provisions and called "panis biscoctus." The general term for this type of bread is "rusk".
