Holidays in the USA. What to see?

In asian food stores, there's a ketchup-like product made with bananas.  It tastes almost the same ('cept less acidic) and has less sugar, IIRC.  

BTW, how did we go from touring the US to ketchup?

In my neck of the woods (Wilmington) there's no tomato base at all. I never knew exactly what was in there, but the main ingredients are vinegar and sugar.

Just a little note to all of you kind enough to add your 2 cents.

THANK YOU.

Lots of great idea's, few of which are in any guide books and I would have missed. You've been lovely and reminded me why this is one of the few boards I bother with on the web.

Four pages, wow. What's with the banana ketchup though? Freak

Petrolhead huh?

Well then, you should probably try to hit one of the NHRA Nationals. Everybody who's into cars should see (and feel) Top Fuel at least once in their lives.

You are 100% correct about that.

If you are going to NHRA be sure to bring hearing protection! No joke.

GoRon is right.  It's unbelievably loud.

LOL, look at the people in the crowd. Look how many are plugging their ears!
