Ok, so this may be pushing it a little, but if, for some reason, you happen to have a ketchup fanatic on your Christmas list, check out Ketchup World. Chances are, if you do know someone who's 'into' ketchup, you or they probably already know of the self-proclaimed 'largest purveyor of ketchups in the world.' Nevertheless, collections like this are generally admirable and always fun to browse. Really, how else would I have ever known there was such a thing as Cleveland Style ketchup? According to Ketchup World, this ketchup conjures up images of Drew Carey (is it any coincidence that it's out of stock?).
It doesn't just stop at midwestern ketchup though. The international section has ketchups hailing from Peru to Pakistan. There are also kosher ketchups, organic ketchups, gluten- and sugar-free ketchups and plenty of other sauces that somehow qualify as ketchups. There are even some that don't.

Horeb, Wisconsin. The curator is a former attorney who specialized in comestible-related cases, and he's written a book about same, "Habeas Carpus". Mighty interesting reading.
