      ;;In the U.S., 97 percent of households report having a bottle at the table. How did a simple sauce come to be so loved by America? It turns out ketchup’s origins are anything but American. Ketchup comes from the Hokkien Chinese word, kê-tsiap, the name of a sauce derived from fermented fish. It is believed that traders brought fish sauce from Vietnam to southeastern China.
      The British likely encountered ketchup in Southeast Asia, returned home, and tried to replicate the fermented dark sauce. This probably happened in the late 17th and early 18th centuries as evidenced by a recipe published in 1732 for “Ketchup in Paste,” by Richard Bradley, which referenced “Bencoulin in the East-Indies” as its origin. (See “How a Food Becomes Famous.”)
      But this was certainly not the ketchup we would recognize today. Most British recipes called for ingredients like mushrooms, walnuts, oysters, or anchovies in an effort to reproduce the savory tastes first encountered in Asia. Mushroom ketchup was even a purported favorite of Jane Austen. These early ketchups were mostly thin and dark, and were often added to soups, sauces, meat and fish. At this point, ketchup lacked one important ingredient.;;

      Katsup was the name used in Southern China (Fujian) for fish sauce like garum. This Asian katsup made its way to Europe, contributing to sauces like Worcestershire (made from anchovies and tamarind). Vegetarian catsups were desired, so fish were replaced by vegetables and mushrooms, some of which you can still buy.

    Fun fact it was actually banned in ancient times from being made in the middle of the city because it stank so bad 😅
    Garum production was banned within the city limits of ancient Rome due to its strong odor. The fermentation process of making garum produced a potent smell that could be quite unpleasant, so it was relegated to areas outside the city to minimize the nuisance to residents. Despite its strong smell during production, garum was highly valued for its taste.

      edit
      Sauces that included fermented fish parts with other ingredients such as meat and soy bean were recorded in China, 2300 years ago.[4] During the Zhou dynasty of ancient China, fish fermented with soybeans and salt was used as a condiment.[5][6] By the time of the Han dynasty, soy beans were fermented without the fish into soy paste and its by-product soy sauce,[7]: 346, 358-359  with fermented fish-based sauces developing separately into fish sauce.[8] A fish sauce, called kôechiap in Hokkien Chinese, might be the precursor of ketchup.[9][1]: 233 
      By 50-100 BC, demand for fish sauces and fish pastes in China had fallen drastically, with fermented bean products becoming a major trade commodity. Fish sauce, however, developed massive popularity in Southeast Asia. Food scholars traditionally divide East Asia into two distinct condiment regions, separated by a bean-fish divide: Southeast Asia, mainly using fermented fish (Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia), and Northeast Asia, using mainly fermented beans (China, Korea, Japan). Fish sauce re-entered China in the 17th and 18th centuries, brought from Vietnam and Cambodia by Chinese traders up the coast of the southern provinces Guangdong and Fujian.[10]
      Europe
      edit
      Fish sauces were widely used in ancient Mediterranean cuisine. The earliest recorded production was between 4th-3rd century BC by the Ancient Greeks, who fermented scraps of fish called garos into one.[1]: 235 [11] It is believed to have been made with a lower salt content than modern fish sauces.[12]
      The Romans made a similar condiment called either garum or liquamen.[1]: 235  According to Pliny the Elder, "garum consists of the guts of fish and other parts that would otherwise be considered refuse so that garum is really the liquor from putrefaction."[13] Garum was made in the Roman outposts of Spain almost exclusively from mackerel by salting the scrap fish innards, and then sun fermenting the flesh until it fell apart, usually for several months. The brown liquid would then be strained, bottled, and sold as a condiment. Remains of Roman fish salting facilities can still be seen, including in Algeciras in Spain and near Setúbal in Portugal. The process lasted until the 16th century when garum makers switched to anchovy and removed the innards.[1]: 235 
      How does it predate asian fish sauce?

Katchup made from Tomatoes was a product of adaptive necessity in the early 20th century that then turned out to be tastier than everyone expected, so it stuck. Of course tomato paste existed at the time, but it was just crushed mashed Tomato and was an ingredient, not a condiment (at the time I mean early 1900s). So like Nutella, it surprised everyone; As savoury isn't the first thing you think of when you think Tomato, as chocolate wasn't the first thing when you thought hazel nut.

    I won't lie, his innate skill is probably the most terrifying to deal with. He literally punishes you for playing smart. I had a Crit build going and I didn't check his stats before fighting. Yeah, he wiped me that next turn

    Does anyone know that in Vietnam we also have this and it's called "Nước mắm"?
    And it's only one of many kinds of "mắm" ("Nước mắm" is the easiest one to eat for a "beginner"). 😄

    I have this same brand bottle at home. It’s good to add to sauces after deglazing pans of their fond with cooking wine.

    As a Filipino, I used this condiment to put in any soup that I like. Didn't know this is a Greek term
