PermalinkHere, seventeenth-century English sailors discovered the delights of this Chinese seasoning and brought it to the West, where cooks tried to reproduce their own versions of the dark sauce. As the Chinese version is more similar to a Worcestershire sauce, the British used ingredients such as anchovies or oysters, mushrooms, and *walnuts to re-create those flavors. In turn, ketchup came to mean a seasoning consisting of mushrooms.
