  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.

        What context needs to be ignored? Ketchup is a sauce, which when added to completed food becomes a condiment, just like all sauces. Plenty of dishes are cooked with ketchup in the cooking process. The conclusion from the article you posted:

        when it comes to the question of condiment or sauce, the answer is “both”.

    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.
