No, the Vikings did not invent ketchup. The condiment has its origins in a fermented fish sauce called "kecap" from Southeast Asia, which Europeans encountered in the 17th century. The modern tomato-based ketchup as we know it today was developed in the 19th century in the United States. Thus, while the Vikings were known for their explorations and trade, they did not play a role in the creation of ketchup.
