What is Mayo ketchup?

Mayo ketchup is simply a mix between mayonnaise and ketchup. The most popular sauce in the Caribbean and Latin America. Mayoketchup(Myoh-Ketchup) is the name given in Caribbean countries such as Cuba, Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico. In Latin American countries such as Colombia, Uruguay, and Argentina it is known as salsa golf. In Brazil, it is simply known as molho rosé. But it is not exclusive to this part of the world. In Germany, you can find mayo ketchup by the brand name Thomy rot weiß and it comes in a tube with 55% ketchup and 45% mayonnaise. Or you can easily find mayo ketchup in any Belgium fry shop as one of the many sauces offered in any of their Belgian friterie.

Who invented Mayo Ketchup?

This answer to the origin will vary according to who you ask. If you ask Heinz the condiment brand, they did in 2018 calling it mayochup even though Goya brand already had the same product by the name of mayo ketchup since 2007. If you go around Utah state and ask, they will say it was invented by Don Carlos Edwards in the 1940s. But If you ask in Argentina the reply will be that it was invented by chemist Luis Federico Leloir in 1920. But if you go to Puerto Rico and ask, we will say that our Tainos ancestors invented mayo ketchup and we have been eating this for centuries.

ingredients needed to make mayo ketchup.

Ingredients

1. Mayonnaise- You can use any type of mayonnaise you like or even a vegan one. I used the regular kind.

2. Ketchup- You can use any brand as it won’t affect the taste much.

Mayo Ketchup Variations

There are many ways to spice up your mayo ketchup. What I sometimes like to do is add fresh garlic when I have it or use garlic powder. Some people like to add Worcestershire but I find it too strong for my taste. To give it a nice kick to it you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some hot sauce. If you like more of a hereby taste you can add some sofrito. Some people like to add the sofrito in but I have never tried it this way so I am not sure about the taste.
