This "is the only serious work I know on this ancient condiment, how it started, how it came to America, above all how it came to be Americanized, so much so that it is almost a national symbol of our food." –Karen Hess.
Excerpt
Popular stereotypes to the contrary, ketchup was not a American creation. In the beginning, ketchup was not thick, sweet or tomato-based. Early recipes published in Great Britain in the eighteenth century fashioned ketchup from kidney beans, mushrooms, anchovies and walnuts.

On both sides of the Atlantic, non-tomato ketchup consumption expanded and reached its zenith during the latter part of the nineteenth century.
