Ketchup’s Chinese origins: how it evolved from fish sauce to today’s tomato condiment

I would also point out that the Chinese stuff actually originated in Vietnam. :)

7 Questions with Mario Papa

Team Tumblr spent two weeks in Brasil this month, hosting a 1,500-person meetup in Curitiba, and events in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paolo, all to celebrate the launch of our Portuguese language translation. Along the way, we were on the hunt for stories. Coming soon: a road trip to the last LP factory in Latin America, in a small town south of Rio, called Belford Roxo. Mario Papa, 58, was our taxi driver on the trip. He told us he’d never taken anyone so far —- or at least not gringos.

Mario was pretty bad ass. I’m not sure if he was a secret agent assigned to protect us, but at one point, I was loitering outside the factory and he brought out his knife… and proceeded to carve up a caju that he fricking picked off a tree hanging over the wall, cause it was waaaay past lunchtime and I was pretty hungry.

Since Josh is in Brazil and I’m in Newcastle, I’m celebrating our anniversary through social media…for now

(PS this is why I love Timehop!)

Ok, me too.

Did some research on Sao Paulo’s graffiti culture with Jess today. Met up with Cranio, artist savant who showed us around his neighborhood and his work in the late afternoon.
