  My son uses ketchup as if it were a sauce …

    Ketchup is a sauce.

    What else would it be?

      Obviously it’s a sauce. I looked up the definition to try and figure out why they would say it isn’t, and I still don’t see it.

      “a liquid or semisolid food mixture used especially as a topping or ingredient for adding to or enhancing the flavor of a dish”

        There’s a lot more nuance in the definition in a culinary context: mashed.com/…/difference-between-sauce-condiment-d…

        But ignoring that context, yes, ketchup meets the literal definition of a sauce.

      It’s a condiment, which is not a sauce.

        Its a subsection of sauces. A type of sauce fulfilling a more specific purpose than other sauces.
