Read carefully the fragment of the article about the history of ketchup:

 

    The origin of ketchup dates back thousands of years to southeast Asia, where it did not resemble the  hamburger  condiment we love today. “The story begins thousands of years ago, when people living along the coasts and rivers of southeast Asia and what is now southern China began to preserve local fish and shrimp, salting and fermenting it into rich savory pastes,” says Dan Jurafsky, a professor of linguistics at Stanford University and the author of The Language of Food. These pastes were confined to the region until Emperor Wu of Han began to expand the nation around 200 B.C.
