Extra Credit Questions

I love that link! I knew about mushroom ketchup being one of the early forms, but the others are very interesting - not that I'm inspired to make any.

I wonder if a whortleberry is what we call huckleberries in Southern Maryland. That was the name of Thomas Jones's second place past which he traipsed Booth and Herold en route to the Potomac. In my childhood, you could stop anywhere along the back roads and pick huckleberries to your heart's content. Can't find them now, thanks to developments and the salt sprays during the winter.
