During the mid-18th century, ketchup was highly popular in England, but it was quite different from the modern version. This early ketchup didn't contain tomatoes; instead, it was based on fish sauce, which originated from Chinese fishermen in 300 BCE. The Roman Empire also embraced fish sauce, but its popularity declined after the empire's collapse. Later, European exploration reintroduced fish sauce through trade routes, leading to the evolution of ketchup. The Dutch East India Company brought fish sauce to Europe, where it was modified into what became known as ketchup. Eventually, tomato-based ketchup emerged in the early 19th century, gaining popularity due to its umami flavor. Companies like Heinz further refined the recipe, making tomato ketchup a household staple by the 20th century.
