Banana Ketchup
Banana ketchup is a popular condiment originating from the Philippines. Some say that it was derived from tomato ketchup, while others claim that it's an evolution of banana sauce. It's made with a combination of mashed bananas, vinegar, sugar, and various spices.
During World War II, due to the fact that there was a lack of tomatoes and an abundance of bananas, this condiment was created to use with dishes such as hot dogs, french fries, omelets, hamburgers, and barbecued pork or chicken. Banana ketchup is rarely used in meals as an ingredient, with the exception of Filipino spaghetti, consisting of spaghetti, banana ketchup, and sliced hot dogs.
