Best Answer

Ketchup was originally a blanket term which covered many different styles of sauce. It originated in South East Asia and was a fish sauce. It was found its way to Europe through sailors that picked it up to cover the taste of their food which would spoil on long voyages. Other flavors started being added to the sauce. A popular flavoring was mushroom. The tomato base ketchup that we know today didn't begin to evolve until the early 1900's in America where cookouts were the thing.
