All I'm saying is that if any bird is going to kill the human race it's going to be crows. Crows hold generational grudges and they're 100% not above per-meditated genocide.

Ah yes, the aves version of the dwarf. Grudge bearers, passing down grudges through the generations.

How do you feel compared to an ostrich?

I have always felt that Emus were cheap imitation Ostrich knockoffs and whist one can use emu leather - It pales in comparison to ostrich leather. As for eating both -- Emu is gamier than ostrich .

True, ravens hold a slight edge in both size and intelligence but crows would likely win out with more advanced group dynamics

There's a reason a group of crows is called a murder and a group of ravens is just an unkindness, just saying.

Also just a funfact, cravens (hybrid crows and ravens) are a real thing despite having entirely different social structures and not being all that closely related in the grand scheme of things. The resulting hyrbids typically have the crow's aggression and the raven's predation that being that they have been known to feed on newborn lambs and calves which sounds impressive until you realize the true alpha of the animal kingdom is the wolverine which has been known to kill a moose that is 20x it's size.

I didn't know they had leather...I've only tried ostrich, so I can't compare the tastes. It sounds like I don't need to either.

Any animal has "leather", Ed Gein made lampshades out of the faces of his victims and armadillo leather can give you leprosy if it's from a nine-banded variety. The issue with bird leather is the pterylae which gives the hide a bumpy appearance that just looks like the room is a bit too cold and your boots aren't wearing a bra.

dwarf. Grudge bearers, passing down grudges through the generations.

Ahhh dwarf tossing and bowling - a craze that came and went all too quickly, An Australian import that rears its ugly head wherever drunk, stupid men in their twenties gather was banned in the 90s, now there is a movement to bring it back in Florida. In 2011, a Florida senator tried to bring back dwarf tossing, which was made illegal decades prior, arguing that "In this economy, why would we want people from getting gainful employment". In 1989, dwarf tossing was made illegal after one dwarf died of alcohol poisoning.

I can guarantee you that pretty much everything that's in ketchup is in barbecue sauces at the very least. It's primarily tomatoes, vinegar and sugar. The spices in it are things like onion powder, garlic powder, salt, celery salt, black pepper, mustard powder, and cloves which are going to be pretty common in most things. Celery Salt helping to act as a preservative. Salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder are literally in everything. Mustard powder is pretty ubiquitous in barbecue sauces, but is probably missing in other sauces. Clove is the one that "might" be absent so maybe go sniff some cloves see if that's it.

Personally I wouldn't say ketchup smells overly pleasant and I like ketchup, but I think barbecue sauces smell worse, but nothing reeks worse than beef base IMO. The smell is mostly going to come from the vinegar and tomatoes in ketchup though and vinegar is generally displeasing to the olfactory sense (I'd say tomatoes stink to me too though).

Not to try to burst your bubble though, but most store bought barbecue sauces use ketchup as their "tomato base".

Not the better ones, and I read a label before buying. If it has ketchup, it's not going in the cart.

It's not going to say ketchup on the label just like your strawberry ice cream won't include "beaver anal gland secretions" on the label.

Plenty of them do have "ketchup" as the first ingredient.

Those barbecue sauces include it as ketchup because it's a recognizable ingredient that is generally not considered undesirable by most id est it's considered instead of writing it as the base ingredients they include is as ketchup which can shorten the ingredients list and make it look more "natural". What I'm saying is that the same ingredients in ketchup can and often are listed separately instead of just saying it's ketchup, the same way I can list a slew of things under "natural ingredients" like the aforementioned anal secretions. If an ingredient is considered undesirable and it can fit under a different label they're able to do so. You want your sauce to sound more "homemade" you'd list the ingredients separately as tomato, vinegar, spices, but that's ketchup my guy.

Let's just pick one at random that's pretty popular Sweet Baby Rays:
High Fructose Corn Syrup, Distilled Vinegar, Tomato Paste, Modified Corn Starch, Contains Less than 2% of Salt, Pineapple Juice Concentrate, Natural Smoke Flavor, Spice, Caramel Color, Molasses, Sodium Benzoate (Preservative), Garlic (Dried), Mustard Flour, Corn Syrup, Sugar, Tamarind, Natural Flavor, Celery Seed.

Vinegar, Tomato Paste, Spice, Natural Flavor, put them together and you get Ketchup. The other things listed separately are either mandated by law or because they want to draw attention to them as desirable ingredients. Garlic, Mustard Flour, Tamarind and Celery Seed can all be listed under spices if they wanted to.

Heinz Ketchup ingredients:
tomato concentrate, distilled vinegar, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, salt, spice, onion powder, and natural flavoring

Lets see High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup, Salt, Spice, Onion Powder, Natural Flavoring, Distilled Vinegar and your tomato base. Tomato Concretrate vs Paste is just ambiguity to the amount of water removed, they're both condensed versions of a tomato compote.
