But the worldwide audience for the Oscars isnât even close to a billion, as a little common sense makes plain. In the United States, 43.5 million people watched the show last year. Thatâs a lot, but itâs 956.5 million short of a billion.
None of that weirdness can, however, hold a candle to the original catsup, which came to us from China via Malaysia, and was known as âke-tsiapâ or âkechap,â meaning roughly âfish sauce.â Indeed, this âkechapâ was from pickled fish and brine, and used as a dipping sauce.
Answer Wiki. The term Ketchup was used in 1690 in the Dictionary of the Canting Crew which was well acclaimed in North America. In the 17th century, the Chinese mixed a concoction of pickled fish and spices and called it kÃ´e-chiap or kÃª-chiap meaning the brine of pickled fish.
