    Tomato ketchup is entirely British. They couldn’t figure out how to reproduce a spiced Hokkien pickled fish brine sauce, so they somehow made mushroom and eventually tomato ketchup.

      Even in the US colonies, it was mushroom ketchup. I don't think tomato ketchup became a thing until the 1800s.

        Oh geez I’ve spent way too much time watching the guys videos. I’m always like “why yes YouTube I do want to learn how to make a Mutton Gravy Pie!”
