ketchup means??? As American as it seems, its origins lie within the Indonesian and Asian cultures. The spicy, pickled fish sauce made of anchovies, walnuts, mushrooms and kidney beans was called ke-tsiap and was very popular in 17th century China. It had a savory taste, flavored by the brine spices and fish. Its texture was more like a soy or Worchestshire sauce. British seamen brought ke-tsiap home, changed the name to catchup and then to catsup. Ketchup was first mentioned in print around 1690. Colonial Americans borrowed and tinkered with the English recipes for catsup and were the first to add tomatoes to the blend after experimenting with tarter vegetables, spices, mushrooms and walnuts. Henry J. Heinz began making ketchup in 1876. His recipe remains the same to this day. It became so popular that other manufacturers rushed to catch up to the ketchup craze. (Catchup to catsup might have been the slogan of the day.) Soon Ketchup, Catsup, Catchup, Ketsup, Catsip, Cotsup, Kotchup, Kitsip, Catsoup, Katshoup, Katsock, cackchop, Cornchop, Cotpock, Kotpock, Kutpuck, Kutchpack and Catchpuck were all available for sale. All were tomato-based and vied to become a household word (or at least a confusing option among many others). Only three major brands survived: Heinz Ketchup, DelMonte Catsup and Hunt’s, who could not make up their mind and bottled under the names Hunt’s Catsup (east of the Mississippi), Hunt’s Ketchup (west of that same river) and Hunt’s Cornchops in Iowa only. lol!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS JUST GEST SO SAD AS IT GOES:. ok so ketchup is american(tomato) and catchup or catsup is british and ke-tsiap is asian (no tomatto)

they call it tomato ketchup cuz... A New England farmer offered ketchup for sale in 1830 in bottles, priced from 33 to 50 cents. In 1837, Americans selling ketchup in Britain were encouraged to rename it 'tomato chutney' in order to draw attention to the differences between their product and the mushroom ketchup popular in Britain
