M&D p.71 -- Ketjap

----------
Some relatively informal definitions from The New Food Lover's Companion
(Barron's)

ketchup...*Ke-tsiap*--a spicy pickled-fish condiment popular in
17th-century China--is said to be the origin of the name "ketchup." 
British seamen brought the ke-tsiap home and throughout the years the
formula was changed to contain anything from nuts to mushrooms.  It wasn't
until the late 1700s that canny New Englanders added tomatoes to the blend
and it became what we know today as ketchup....  

***

kecap manis; ketjap manis...An intensely dark brown, syrupy-thick
Indonesian sauce similar to, but with a sweeter, more complex flavor than,
soy sauce.  Kecap manis is sweetened with palm sugar...and seasoned with
various ingredients....
