What does CATSUP mean in Scrabble?
noun
North American
A thick, seasoned tomato sauce eaten cold with fried potatoes, burgers and similar foods.
Catsup is a spelling that turns up mostly on American labels and menus, while the other common spellings are used more widely. The sauce is made by cooking down tomatoes with vinegar, sugar and spices until it thickens into a smooth red condiment. The word itself traces back to a Chinese-derived name for a fermented fish brine, and tomatoes only became the main ingredient much later.
