Well, now I am curious. Ketchup defined: a smooth sauce made chiefly from tomatoes and vinegar, used as a condiment; Origin: late 17th century: apparently from Chinese (Hokkien) kê-chiap ‘brine of pickled fish or shellfish’, perhaps partly via Malay kecap, kicap ‘soy sauce’” (Oxford Languages Dictionary). And “catchup \ ˈke-chəp , ˈka- \ or catsup \ ˈke-chəp , ˈka- , ˈkat-səp…History and Etymology
borrowed, directly or via Malay kecap (phonetically kətʃap) "fish sauce," from Southern Min (Chinese dialects of southeast Fujian) kôe-chiap (Xiamen), kê-chiap (Zhangzhou), from kôe, kê "salted or pickled fish or shellfish" + chiap "juice, sap"” (Merriam-Webster Dictionary).
Can’t find the mushrooms connection. Interesting new info, however.👍
