Ketchup
Ketchup or catsup is a table condiment with a sweet and sour flavor. "Ketchup" now typically refers to tomato ketchup, although early recipes for different varieties contained mushrooms, oysters, mussels, egg whites, grapes, or walnuts, among other ingredients.
Tomato ketchup is made from tomatoes, sugar, and vinegar, with seasonings and spices. The spices and flavors vary but commonly include onions, allspice, coriander, cloves, cumin, garlic, mustard and sometimes include celery, cinnamon, or ginger. Tomato ketchup is sometimes used as a condiment for dishes that are usually served hot, and are fried or greasy.
Ketchup is sometimes used in other sauces and dressings, such as Thousand Island dressing and Marie Rose sauce, or as a general cooking ingredient. Its flavor may be replicated as an additive flavoring for snacks, such as potato chips.
