Ketchup.

We only have that one word in German, anyways.

For Ketchup, I mean, not in general.

BROWNCOATS UNITE!

I'm suddenly reminded of my time in Italy (I love that place by the way) I was Assisi and was waiting for spaghetti for ages. Then it occurred to me, this is a small restaurant in a small city on a hill. The didn't have space to store the spaghetti so the had to go out and kill one, but they were on a hill, not the natural habitat of spaghetti so I had to wait for them to go out, hunt down a spaghetti, catch it, kill it, and boil it up for me.

It was worth it though, nothing like a freshly killed spaghetti.

If you don't see how this related to the ketchups and their natural predators the bland happy meals ... well you just kind of have to grok it for yourself.

Well they do say German has one of the smallest word counts of any language, and one is certainly one of the smallest word counts.
