I find this very interesting, because Pudliszki is generally considered suspicious around here in Poland because it's laced with sugar. For generations now children in kindergarten have been repeating the phrase "ketchup Pudliszki przeczyści Ci kiszki"("Pudliszki ketchup will clear out your guts"). Kotlin (no relation to the programming language. Or is there? We may never know) I believe has much less sugar. Anyway if you ever get the chance go to McDonald's in Italy and ask for ketchup - it's 0,50€ per portion, but the taste is completely different than anywhere in Europe.

Ah Italy, they somehow handle anything tomato-related differently, and I mean better. Currently baking alive on vacation in Sicily, tomatoes from basic stores taste much better than regular ones I can buy in Switzerland, any time of the year. When they do pasta with red sauce its something I want to pack and take home with us and just clone forever. I mean obviously their home made pasta al dente is superb, but those extra more-red-than-red sauces are also on another level. Country seems a bit broken and drivers dont seem to recognize basic traffic rules, but food is up there, pretty consistently.

Andrey Breslav mentioned that the team decided to name it after an island, just like Java was named after the Indonesian island of Java[13] (though the programming language Java was perhaps named after the coffee rather than the island).[14] Sadly no

Since you mentioned Pudliszki and Kotlin, here's the Polish Map of Ketchup [1]. The Polish ketchup market is quite varied. The map shows where different ketchup brands are produced. And I've just learnt that Heinz owns Pudliszki. [1]: https://i.wpimg.pl/1200x/d.wpimg.pl/2014472425--622848009/ketchup.jpg https://i.wpimg.pl/1200x/d.wpimg.pl/2014472425--622848009/ke...
