Ketchup from museum

This ketchup I discover when visiting Frietmuseum in Brugges as the first original version of ketchup ever. Whether it is true or not, perhaps yes, because the origin of ketchup as we know it is known from an Asian fish sauce, which no longer knows the recipe. But everyone agrees that the real ketchup has to include tomato, vinegar and various spices.

Preparation time 3 hours
