Obligatory mention of the "18th Century Cooking" YouTube channel: [LINK] The Mushroom Ketchup recipe is one I repeatedly go back to -- it's just that good: [VIDEO] I also encourage anyone who still has their elderly relatives with them to ask them for recipes they had from their era. My family keeps a common cookbook, and it's nice to be able to pull out Grandma's shrimp-dip recipe for special occasions.
Scroll down to the bottom of the article, there’s an 18th-century recipe for “mushroom ketchup.” (Along with a video on how to make it: [VIDEO] ) Be interesting to see how close it is to your wife’s modern version!
If you want to learn more here is a great video with both the history and recipe for mushroom ketchup: [VIDEO]
