French dressing

In the United States of America, French dressing is a type of salad dressing, also called Catalina dressing, containing sugar and tomato ketchup….People in some parts of the Southern United States (especially in the Biloxi, Mississippi, area) pour French dressing on pizza. Midwestern folklore has it that the condiment’s name stems from its invention by the wife of Lucius French, a founder of Hazleton, Indiana. French’s intense aversion to vegetables brought him to the brink of scurvy several times; his wife supposedly created the tangy, unconventional dressing as a means of coaxing the bellicose French to consume salads.
