I generally prefer brown sauce myself, but believe this is the original spelling... CATSUP

[quote]According to a Heinz spokesperson, Henry John Heinz first brought his product to market as “Heinz Tomato Catsup,” but changed the spelling early on to distinguish it from competitors. Del Monte did not switch spellings until 1988, after it became clear that ketchup was the spelling of choice for American consumers. Hunt’s switched the name of their product from catsup to ketchup significantly earlier.

I grew up with Del Monte Catsup, and so it will always be.

Ketchup. My guess if it's where you're from? LA (me). Ketchup.
