Banana ketchup



Banana ketchup is one of the Filipino condiments.
I didn't know about this ketchup before I came here, but it's everywhere here in Philippines.

In Filipino houses, they have one most of the time. At Filipino or fast food restaurant, they have one.
One of the biggest Filipino fast food, Joli Bee uses this banana ketchup to all menues.

It's created during the World War II. There was a lack of tomatoes, so they looked for substitute. However, without coloring, it's brown and doesn't look good. So they put red color so that it looks like a real ketchup.

I tried tasting it and I like it! It's sweet and of course it has banana taste just a little bit.
