Culture: Part 3 ::: Condiments: Part 3 - After School Snack

My friend Chet is REALLY into fermented and cultured food. I've never met anyone as into Sauerkraut & Kombucha as he is. He gave me a jar of homemade lacto-fermented ketchup made with Two Dog Farm's Dry Farmed Tomatoes. I've never been really big into ketchup, not even as a child. In fact, I think the only food I've ever consistently eaten with the condiment is grilled cheese sandwiches. I absolutely LOVE grilled cheese with ketchup. Is that weird?
