I reported it as spam. C'mon, Chinese ketchup? That's just unAmerican!

Maybe they meant to spell it "Catsup" and it is an abbreviated form of "Cat Supper."

Hmmm....could be?

I vote legit. Most spam doesn't come in the form of an email address... Besides, didn't Iron Chef Chen Kenichi use ketchup in his chili prawns?

(Clavin voice) Well Norm, actually ketchup first originated in the Orient.

Early origins

Ketchup existed before anyone outside the Americas had ever seen a tomato. Originally this sauce was made out of pickled fish. It originated in Eastern Asia; the word ketchup is used in Chinese, Malay and Indonesian. English and Dutch sailors brought the Asian ketchup to Europe, where many flavourings, such as mushrooms, anchovies and nuts, were added to the basic fish sauce. Whether the tomato was also added to ketchup in England is not certain, and it's most likely that this important event first happened in the USA.
