>From the Salt Lake Tribune this morning: On Wednesday, Heinz asked American condiment lovers to decide— through a Twitter poll — if it should start selling Mayochup, a premade blend of mayonnaise and ketchup, in the United States. (According to the Evening Standard, a British newspaper, it’s been sold in Persian Gulf countries, like Dubai, for a couple of years.) The Twitter feed for Heinz Ketchup(@HeinzKetchup_US) posted this poll Wednesday: “Want #mayochup in stores? 500,000 votes for “yes” and we’ll release it to you saucy Americans.” Less than 24 hours after the poll was posted, more than 470,000 people had voted— with 55 percent approving of the product and 45 percent saying “Nah, I’ll make my own.” As anyone with a connection to Utah and its signature foods knows, the founder of Arctic Circle restaurants created this pink concoction in the 1950s as an alternative dipping sauce for french fries. Since then, almost every Utah restaurant has developed its own version using ketchup and mayonnaise— and sometimes pickle relish and spices. While huge in Utah, fry sauce remains mostly a mystery outside the state. Gino A.
