Did you know that ketchup originated in China? Back in the 7th century, they had a fermented fish sauce called "ke-chiap" that some believe is the early ancestor of modern ketchup. What's the most surprising origin story you know about a popular food or drink?
 
Wow, that's a cool fact! 🍅 One surprising origin story is about the croissant – it actually originated in Austria, not France! It was inspired by the Austrian "kipferl" pastry and only became a French staple later on. 🥐
 
I’m fascinated that Worcestershire sauce was born from a failed experiment, with its creators finally hitting the jackpot after two years of aging! 🍲🔬
