Ketchup, the common red sauce, has been a mainstay of tables worldwide for centuries, adorning everything from simple French fries to haute cuisine burgers. It is a condiment with a rich history, a refined combination of flavors, and a lasting cultural influence that reaches beyond geographical and culinary borders. Commonly dismissed as more than a side sauce, ketchup is actually a complex combination of science, history, and culinary craftsmanship.
The origins of ketchup do not, as most would likely assume, begin with tomatoes. Rather, the origins of ketchup trace back over 2,000 years to China, where they used fermented fish sauce known as "ke-tsiap" to enhance the flavor of a vast variety of foods. This umami-laden concoction traveled to Malaysia and Indonesia, where it evolved into a spiced and sour soy-based sauce. By the 17th century, European traders had found this foreign brew and brought it back to their homelands, where they tried to replicate it using local ingredients.
By a process of culinary experimentation, the ketchup recipe underwent numerous revisions. The British, for example, created versions using mushrooms, walnuts, and even oysters before adopting the now-standard tomato-based version in the early 19th century. It was in the United States, though, that ketchup truly reached maturity, as commercially produced tomato ketchup first appeared, fronted by no less than Henry J. Heinz in 1876. The Heinz company created the smooth, dense consistency and harmony of flavor known and loved by consumers today.
In effect, ketchup is a deceptively simple but highly precise balance of ingredients intended to be utilized to provide the ultimate synergy of sweet, sour, salty, and umami tastes. At its core lies tomatoes, often in the processed form of tomato paste or puree, which gives ketchup its characteristic intense red color and thick te
