Another saucy circle

In Our Time this week was about Carthage. My ears pricked up when the sources of the city’s wealth were being discussed – one profitable export was a sauce made from rotten fish called garum - “their kind of ketchup”

So, must be related to casareep

And also to Indian cooking, via garam, the Hindi word for hot, as in garam marsala?
