Ketchup's Evolution

Ketchup's journey began with fish sauce in Asia, evolving through British adaptations that included various ingredients like mushrooms and anchovies. The introduction of tomatoes faced skepticism in early America, but by the 19th century, the first bottled ketchup emerged. Innovations in the late 1800s transformed ketchup into the beloved condiment we recognize today, shedding its original ingredients and spelling along the way.
