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.
