Synopsis of what you should have learned:
Ketchup originated from Asia. The word ketchup originally ment fish sauce which was made out of fermented and salted anchovies! An early recipe of the tomata catsup in 1817 in bitian still contained some anchovies. the anchovies have been dropped from the recipe later on, though. Interestingly enough, the English have enjoyed ketchup even before they decided to add tomatoes into the mixture. It's pretty interesting.
