Real Catsups are not tomatoe based.

Reading the history of catsup, you can quickly realize that modern mass produced, tomatao based ketchup is far from the real thing. So how did tomatoes and sugar ended up in it?

Muricans love sugar.

Unfortunately that is true.... And it is a hard habit to break.

I would certainly try some Banana Sauce.

Based on fermented fish? Yeah I would try that too as well.

Duh... Catsup is made from cats. It's right there in the name.

Swing and a miss…

"Catsup" wasn't ever a single specific recipe. It was a style of sauce that has been made different ways over the years. There is no "real thing" there are just older styles (recipes) vs newer styles.

I wouldn't necessarily call the fish-based or mushroom-based ketchup "the real thing" where our modern ketchup is just some imposter or something. It's just the way things go; recipes change over time. I'm sure a lot of food recipes have changed over time; that doesn't necessarily make the modern version of it inferior or an imitation.

Anyway, I would've never guessed ketchup started out as a fish sauce and then was a mushroom-based sauce. Pretty weird.
