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.
What is ketchup made of? To break it down in simplest terms, itâs made of tomato sauce, vinegar, sugar, and spices. The recipe Iâm sharing today is a basic one that can easily be tweaked and made your own. With this base, you can make different flavors of ketchup, such as balsamic, Sriracha or roasted garlic.
