History

A bottle of Geo. Watkins mushroom ketchup

In the 1690s the Chinese mixed together a concoction of pickled fish and spices and called it kôe-chiap or kê-chiap (鮭汁) meaning the brine of pickled fish (鮭, carp; 汁, juice) or shellfish.^[2]
By the early 18th century, the table sauce had made it to the Malay states (present day Malaysia and Singapore), where it was discovered by British explorers, and by 1740, it had become a British staple.^{[citation needed]} The Malay word for the sauce was kĕchap. That word evolved into the English word "ketchup".^[3]
