Ketchup originally began as a fermented fish sauce in Southeast Asia, known as "kecap" or "catsup." It was primarily used as a condiment to enhance the flavor of dishes. The sauce evolved over time, with various recipes incorporating ingredients like mushrooms, walnuts, and eventually tomatoes, leading to the popular tomato ketchup we know today. Its use transitioned from a savory seasoning to a sweet condiment in Western cuisine.
