Why they work

Almost everything ketchup carries, rabbit has too: 43 of ketchup's 45 flavor molecules also occur in rabbit. Among the shared key aromas are ethanol (alcoholic, ethereal) and decanoic acid (soapy, waxy).

What each one brings

Recipes with rabbit and ketchup

We have no browsable recipe that lists both rabbit and ketchup.

Can you swap one for the other?

Only partly. Almost all of ketchup's flavor molecules (43 of 45) are also found in rabbit, but rabbit has 154 that ketchup lacks. Ketchup gives you part of rabbit's character without most of its roast. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.
