It is like salt and pepper, like wine and bread, and like everything that the taste of some foods simply cannot do without. You certainly wouldn't want to even imagine what a hot dog would be without it. Nor the hamburger, pizza, fries and all the other appetizing foods that rely on it.
Ketchup, this great spice was born long, long ago and has gone through dramatic events to reach some of the most beloved foods today.
The famous sauce first appeared in Asia many years ago. English sailors took it from the Far East in the late 17th century. Called ké-tsiap at the time, it was made from fish brine and was very spicy. This taste proved too strong for Westerners, who quickly added mushrooms and then tomatoes and sugar.
An American recipe book, published in 1801, mentions it for the first time in its pages tomato ketchup, made by Sandy Addison. Other similar recipes appeared in 1812 and 1824. The victorious one history of ketchup however, it began a few years later. In 1837, a man named Jonas Yerks produced and then distributed his ketchup sauce throughout the United States. At the time, ketchup was sold in kegs to hide flaws in its texture.
In 1869, the Americans Henry Heinz and Clarence Noble, former brick makers, threw themselves into the Rayfor sauce (horseradish sauce). It is sold in clear bottles to show the quality of the product. In 1876, Heinz decided to experiment and put his own on the market Tomato ketchup, the last word of ideal quality. The sauce is composed of tomatoes, sugar, vinegar and spices. Only 10 years later, Heinz is already in England with his family to showcase his products at the Fortnum & Mason boutique in London. Ketchup as we know it today has just crossed the Atlantic.
In 1892, Heinz saw an advertisement for a shoe salesman who proudly presented his 21 models. Then he counted his products, and on the 57th, he decided to put the slogan 57 kinds on his bottles with ketchup. In less than a century, the American company reached a turnover of 1 billion dollars, which increased to 11 billion in early 2000.
Allied troops are said to have imported ketchup to France and then to the rest of Europe after arriving during World War II in 1944.
This small sauce quickly becomes an indispensable ingredient for making burgers or to flavor a few french fries. Today, it is sold in 650 million bottles worldwide each year. They also call it tomato sauce, red sauce or Tommy sauce. There is also green ketchup, purple or multicolored. 97% of Americans believe they have ketchup in their refrigerator.
In fact, due to its high sugar content, ketchup is very high in calories, but much less greasy than mayonnaise, for example. It does not require preservatives (with its vinegar), nor coloring (with its tomatoes), nor natural flavoring.
