Yes, ketjap... a pickled concoction. Was taken back to Merry Ol'
England and various ketchups/catsups became the rage. Witty's _Fancy
Pantry_ has several (mushroom, lemon, grape, among others). Just
happened that tomato won the prize and became synonomous with the word
itself.

Anyone who was reading this last year went through my trials and
tribulations in developing an apricot catsup recipe.
