Curry in english terms is generally called
fish paste, which has links to Ketchup.
The anciant Chinese used a condiment from fish paste, which the English in old Europe made a condiment from tomato paste, more pleasing to old English mouths than the Chinese version, the Chinese name was similar to Ketchup, and why Ketchup is the popular condiment name used on
everything from burgers to ziggly fries.
The link to fish paste is only one theory out of several however as to how Ketchup in its modern name surfaced. The Chinese theory is from kôe-chiap, a product from fish paste.
The first English referances to the word were in the late 1600's referring to an Indian sauce.
After Heinz, Ketchup is the common condiment used on
everything from burgers to ziggly fries.
Curry might have a strong smell to it, but if you like spice and like seafood, its very good.
