As an indonesian i just realize that the word ketchup do really come from our language kecap lol, when i was younger i always confused when using those 2 words since we use kecap as "soy sauce" and we call ketchup "tomato sauce" to differentiate kecap and ketchup because its pronouced in the same way

Ketchup is actually still the name for soya sauce in Indonesia!
As an indonesian, I'm a little confused. It's like ya'll americans thought that every condomance is ketchup XD in Indonesia we call soy sauce as 'kecap' and we never used the term 'kecap' as something like 'kecap tomat' (tomato ketchup) XD my tummy hurts just by thinking about it coz it means that u mixed tomato sauce and soy sauce together. We normaly use the term 'saus' (in america: sauce) Like 'saus tomat' (tomato sauce), 'saus sambal' (chili sauce). And... yea, i think thats the only popular condomance in indonesia, just fish sauce, soy sauce, ketchup and hot sauce. Mustard isn't really a thing in Indonesia. But we use white&black pepper and msg a lot XD

Indonesia have many ketchup too, but in indonesia we said "kecap " for soy bean sauce and ketchup we call it "saos tomat"
They mentioned Vietnamese Ketsiap, and they did mention Indonesia, but no Kecap at all, which is how indonesians call it
I'm from Malaysia and I've always thought why kicap (the way we say ketsiap) and ketchup sounds the same but are two different things. Finally an answer for that.
That "kesiap" from Indonesia turn into "KECAP" now in modern Indonesia language. The best kind of soysauce. It's sweet, salty, and spices.
We, Vietnamese call "fish sause", "nước mắn". "Nước" is the liquid and "mắn" is everything that fermented.

I knew it was Asian but I was under the impression it always involved tomatoes or a similar plant. Because in Cantonese ketchup is called 茄(a type of plant which tomatoes or eggplants belong to) 酱 (sauce). If you say “茄酱” out loud it sounds exactly like “ketchup.”

As an Indonesian who grew up with the original soy ketchup, THIS EXPLAINS SO MUCH
Here Japan we season basically all food with ketchup, we love very much
Actually ketsiap on Indonesia called kecap, and yes in English language they called it soy sauce
Interestingly, here in indonesia we call Worcestershire sauce "Kecap Inggris" (English ketchup). It comes full circle

the British colony found ketchup not from Vietnam but from "Bencouleen/Bengkulu" which is now a part of Indonesia, which they found was sweet soy sauce as "kecap" in Indonesian, which was a soy sauce adapted from fish fermented sauce from China/Vietnam, and Indonesia had indeed been colonized by British and they have a base in Bengcouleen or Bengkulu then after that they exchange territories, the Dutch get Bengkulu and the British get Singapore island.... Indonesia get it from Vietnam/China (fermented fish paste as ketsiap) ===> they make it again according to their taste and invented sweet soy sauce (kecap) ===> and then British comes had it and brought it to Europe and to all across the world
When Insider is too late because you watched the great big story video

Uhm why am i watching this
Idk bout anyone else but food history gets me so fascinated. Idk why, but I guess is because the mystery that goes behind it's discovery. Like who discovered fruits and vegetables. How did they chose which one to eat/not to eat, cook/not to cook. Idk bruh it just gets my brain going 😆.
this was in my recommended section..... tHaNkS
In Asia they also have BANANA CATSUP... and you'd wonder how'd they get it colored red like tomatoes...
I'm an Asian but how didn't I know this?
Imagine writing a book on ketchup
Interesting. I always buy lots of ketchup, but now I am cutting my food bill in half, so I am going to see if I can just use cheaper tomatoe sauce where I used to use mountains of expensive ketchup. By just buying a weeks worth of food, and stretching that (almost no waste) for two weeks, I have cut my food bill in half. If I have just enough of everything but no extra (just one bottle ketchup, mayonase, salad dressing) I conserve what supplies, food I have to get by. And I don't waste anything, like I do, if I have two or three times the food/supplies I need for two weeks. Learned this after always ending up cooking an amount that I thought was one meal, but which always had left overs for the next meal. Seems my eyes are always bigger than my stomach. So I changed my shopping habits and am saving lots of money.

I like different kinds of ketchup, but I can't stand the classic heinz one. I only put mustard and sauerkraut on my hotdogs. On my burgers the only condiment I use is mayo, but if that's not available (it's less common in the US than other countries), I won't use any condiment at all.

Ketchup was pronounced Gay-Jop. That spelling Ke Tshap is from the local British missionaries trying to phoneticize the local Chinese language, Hokkien, or what others are more familiar with as "the Taiwanese language" even though it wasn't in Taiwan.
Big great story.....
In Indonesia Soy sauce called Kicap So they name the ketchup Cause they love soy sauce
