mushroom ketchup
Oh my, that looks tasty. Found it on Amazon for the USians though not cheaply.
Well, the sauce originated in China, then fanned out to the rest of Asia. Some sources say that the British found ketsaip in China (which became "catsup") and the Dutch found kecap in Malaysia (which became "ketchup"). Others say that different Brits found kôe-chiap and kê-chiap in China, and that's how we ended up with two different words for the same thing.
And, of course, original ketchup was more like fish sauce than the tomato-based sauce we know today. Hell, mushroom ketchup was way more popular in Britain than tomato ketchup for a long time.
As to the "ketchup vs. catsup" thing, in the early days of the Reagan Administration, Secretary of Agriculture John R. Block proposed reclassifying ketchup from a “condiment” to a “vegetable” to allow schools to meet federal nutrition requirements on the cheap. The rule never went into effect, but because the proposed rule specified "ketchup", many "catsup" producers (including Del Monte, the largest "catsup" manufacturer at the time) changed the product name to "ketchup", so as not to be left out of the new bureaucratic rules.
It is a UK product, but I don't know how widespread it is. You can order it on amazon
"Mushroom catchup" is actually a thing.
Here's a recipe for mushroom catsup, if you want to try making it yourself (that channel is a wealth of interesting cooking methods and recipes from the 18th century)
Not if you are talking about mushroom ketchup
Why no veggies? Those are my favorite part of a roast.
I don't have a recipe, but I do have a couple tips to help avoid the gluten. Pretty much what you're getting from the Worcestershire sauce is umami (savory) and saltines. You can replace it with other sources of umami, such as soy sauce (be careful of gluten in them too, I believe tamari does not have it), Accent (MSG), fish sauce, or mushrooms.
One of my favorite Worcestershire replacements is mushroom ketchup, but it'll take a day or so to make. You can find it on Amazon, but I don't know how good it is. (video, recipe)
