Ketchup originates from the Chinese Hokkien dialect Ke-Tsiap. Pronounced Keh Jup it was a spicy fish sauce type of thing
Hokkien we’re traditionally the cooks for the old colonial families, forces etc. There’s still a small Hokkien restaurant here tucked out near one of the old army camps and has been in businesses for generations. The menu is like a British 1950s motorway cafe - sausage, spam, egg and chips and multiple combinations thereof

.... while Catsup was what they made if one of the cats, that kept the rats under control in the factory, fell into the pulping machine ......Sinkers wrote: ↑Mon Oct 11, 2021 11:12 pm Ketchup originates from the Chinese Hokkien dialect Ke-Tsiap.

Sounds shit
Dave Gilmour is in that picture. He didn't join Pink Floyd until 1967.
Also the fact that the Jimi Hendrix Experience never played in the U.S. until Monterey in June 1967 so he/they certainly wouldn’t have been headlining a big show like this as he was practically unknown in the States.

Good catch guys
Spoiler
Show
It was Jimi Hendrix’s first Christmas in the UK in 1966, and he accepted an invitation from Experience bass player Noel Redding’s mother to spend New Year in Seabrook, just outside Folkestone. This led to Noel Redding arranging a last-minute gig in his seaside hometown to practice a few songs and celebrate his 21st birthday.
Noel contacted the Hillside Social Club as he often played there and knew the owner well. Whether those present at the venue had any clue that they were watching someone who would soon be famous all over the world is doubtful but it’s gone down in history nonetheless. Despite the date, the band only played until 11:30pm. The licensing laws at the time didn’t allow for the show to go on any longer – not even for Jimi Hendrix on New Years Eve!
The club where the impromptu gig took place no longer exists but Folkestone, being Redding’s birthplace, has not forgotten this performance, and a plaque on the site (pictured above) was unveiled earlier this year.
