Geo Watkins Mushroom Ketchup 190ml

In consistency (viscosity) and general flavor, this most resembles Worcestershire Sauce or fish sauce, the basis for original ketchup, versus the thick tomato ketchup you're probably more familiar with. Very tasty, very umami.My bottle came very well padded (yay!) but in almost completely non-recyclable shipping (boo!). To be fair, part of that was to prevent leakage if indeed the bottle broke, but still, room for improvement.

I do a lot of historical cooking for various museums and historical sites. As such, I was making 18th century meat pies and was looking for an appropriate flavoring for the gravy. This mushroom ketchup was recommended and it was a wonderful addition to the dish. Sort of like what would happen if Worcestershire sauce, steak sauce and a pound of mushrooms had a threesome. Nice depth of flavor.

Nothing spectacular about this. consistency is too watery and Doesn’t add watch flavor to anything.

I was expecting a thick sauce with the name “ketchup” in the title. I imagined a type of thick steak sauce type flavor with the name. Instead this is extremely thin and soy is the main ingredient. I believe the ingredients only had 3% mushroom powder in it. It is too expensive to replace standard soy sauce.It did NOT taste bad, but did not taste anything like “mushrooms” or “ketchup”.

Taste like a Worcestershire sauce

Like a soy sauce but not nearly as intense. I add a couple splashes to stews, mashed potatoes, casseroles etc.I go through a bottle every 2 months.

As the label says, this will amp up sauces, dishes, etc. Really nice added to soups for a twist on the soup's flavors.....and not too bad just added to hot water for a broth. Definite mushroom flavor but also other well paired spices. If even remotely curious, you should get a bottle and experiment.

Arrived with a broken bottle cap, concerned it will spoil since I can't tighten the cap for storage.
