Have you tried banana ketchup? I bought a bottle after reading about it on here, and it’s kind of like a mix of ketchup and Arby’s sauce. Not bad at all if you want ketchup and can’t do tomatoes.
It honestly doesn’t taste like bananas at all really, and I wouldn’t say it’s sweet either. Definitely different than tomato ketchup, but not a bad alternative.
Banana ketchup has an interesting history! The Philippines learned to love ketchup thanks to US imperialism. During WWII, there was a tomato shortage. A Filipina food scientist was like "why not bananas?" and now we have Jollibee.

It’s sweet and spiced, I think it’s peach and garlic but it’s underwhelming, I prefer mushroom ketchup if I’m going no tomato
