i can't find catchup as a definition in my chambers.

if you google it you will see that it is an alternative noun for ketchup as paul says

the only one i know is catsup the american version, did google it but doesn't give that spelling. unless someone can point me to it.
thanks for the help

The Webster's Dictionary of 1913 defined ‘catchup’ as: “table sauce made from mushrooms, tomatoes, walnuts, etc. [Also written as ketchup].”

This is in wiki under "ketchup" down the page
DM is not known for over subtlety in its clueing; the rest of te clue should confirm the veracity of the answer for you.
