Well, after WSKH's excellent name suggestion the idea has been living in my head rent free. I am putting together a small bonus for everyone. I'll be slipping in a recipe card for Kobold Ketchup into the pages of every zine I ship out. You can get an early preview below. I have a family favorite recipe for RL enjoyment that just might make it to the back of the card as well.

Thank you all again for your support!

  Cheers!!!

Appearance: A bright yolk-yellow suspension shot through with thin, jagged streaks of sharp crimson. The red veins never fully blend, instead shifting lazily when the vial is tilted and gathering thicker near the top when left undisturbed. In low light, the streaks deepen toward a dark, clotted red; in bright light, they snap back to a bold, tomato-bright scarlet.

Smell: A sharp, nose-prickling tang strikes first, hot and vinegary, with an eye-watering bite that climbs straight into the sinuses. A cloying sweetness follows close behind, finishing with a faint metallic edge. The heat lingers long after, peppery and bright, with the barest whisper of sulfur.

Taste: Acrid and sharply sour, with a curdling, fermented burn that coats the tongue and tightens the jaw. At first it scalds like spoiled vinegar cut with crushed pepper seeds, followed by a sticky, overripe sweetness that clings to the molars. A faint coppery tang seeps in at the back of the throat, mingling with a sulfurous aftertaste that rises again in hot, unpleasant waves. The saliva thickens; the stomach churns before the vial is even drained.

Effects:

When sipped: A cautious taste sends a violent shudder through the nerves. For 1 round, the taster is dazed as their senses flare; colors oversaturate, sounds sharpen, and a fleeting, intrusive thought not their own flickers behind the eyes before fading like steam.

When consumed directly: The imbiber is wracked with severe intestinal agony. They are rendered unable to act for 1d3 hours, doubled over and retching. A successful DC 13 Fortitude save allows the character to act, but at -2d on all rolls for the duration of the pain.

When applied to flesh: If drizzled over the remains of a freshly slain creature prior to its consumption, the next creature to eat that flesh gains 1d3 memories from the devoured.

A memory grants: A fragment of their knowledge (such as a secret or a spell known by the deceased); an echo of their expertise (training in a skill or occupation of the consumed); or anything else the Judge finds appropriate.
