@Jay Feibe Yep! Basically started with fish sauce in the east, and some westerner came over and was like Ooh I like this, then they tried to recreate that at home. Then some easterner came and had what the western guy made, and loved it, and tried to recreate it at home. Back and forth until you got modern fruit based ketchups... including the most common, tomato. I am forever amused by this. People just be trying to recreate things they had elsewhere all the time.
