catchups

Red burger toppings

Catchups is the plural of catchup, an alternative spelling of ketchup—the tomato-based condiment.

More commonly, catchups refers to informal meetings or conversations meant to exchange news after time apart: We scheduled weekly catchups with the remote team.

The singular catch-up (usually hyphenated in this sense) has largely displaced catchups in casual use.
