Has anyone heard of or tried Banana Ketchup?  I just found a recipe for it and wonder what you'd even eat it with. It has raisins, onions, garlic, tomato paste, vinegar, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, cloves, plus the usual ketchup ingredients AND even rum. I'm curious!
hmmmmm....anybody

I just found this on WikiPedia. Kinda interesting.
"Banana ketchup or banana sauce is a popular Filipino condiment made from mashed banana, sugar, vinegar, and spices. Its natural color is brownish, so it is often dyed red to resemble tomato ketchup. Banana ketchup was made when there was a shortage of tomato ketchup during World War II, due to lack of tomatoes and a comparatively high production of bananas. In the Caribbean, the company Baron Foods Limited manufactures a banana ketchup which is yellow in keeping with the color perception associated with bananas. Baron Foods Grenada facility also makes a variant referred to as "Nutmeg" Banana Ketchup which is a combination of the exotic flavor of nutmegs and the typical banana ketchup flavor.
Banana ketchup is sweeter than tomato ketchup and is similar in taste to the Indonesian Kecap manis and the Thai sweet chili sauce. In Filipino households, this ubiquitous condiment is used on just about any dish - omelettes (torta), hot dogs, burgers, fries, fish and other meats. Banana ketchup is also a vital and distinct ingredient in Filipino-style spaghetti (sweeter than the traditional Italian spaghetti).
It is exported to countries where there is a considerable Filipino population (United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Hong Kong, France, Switzerland, Australia and New Zealand).
Filipino food technologist Maria Y. Orosa (1893–1945) is credited with inventing a banana ketchup recipe.

Oh Nini! You are a hoot. I want to hear the results. You have me wanting to be brave too. I mean, if I can do sauerkraut, surely I can handle a little thing like Banana ketchup! Eeww. Gonna have to think up another name for that if it turns out that you think it is good!!
BTW, your package is on the way or maybe it got there already?? :-)

I read where it said you could actually taste the banana, so, ya, banana and tomatoes...hmmmmm.....I'm kind of leaning toward a chutney flavor too. I didn't think I'd like mango chutney with tilapia, but I love it. Who knows, THIS just may be the next fish condiment. I may get brave after the Holidays are over and I'm bored and looking for something new to do/make. LOL..... I'm talking Reeeeaally bored! LOL

All I can think of is, "Things that make you go, 'hmmmm...'" It's different, but I'm thinking it could be good... Sounds like something you'd try while on vacation in the tropics... It sounds a little gross, too, but it might not be bad... If you try it and like it, Judy, maybe we will, too; so please let us know! My son would probably faint cold flat out on the floor, but the only thing my DH refuses to eat is coleslaw (even threw it up on a Nun's shoes in parochial school when she made him eat it!)... I think I'd enjoy seeing his reaction to this one! };) Yeah... good times... Please be sure to let us know... Heh heh heh... - Nini

Well, I looked it up because I had never heard of it.....sounds like it is a condiment from the Philippines. Some people eat it with fried foods or with pork or chicken. One person said he uses it as a base for his spagetti sauce. I think I'll let you try it first and let me know what you think.....(can you hear that I'm being a big chicken?)

It almost sounds like a chutney, so maybe with meat?
