Tomato sauce/tomato ketchup. As I said, you americans must have some
really
good mass produced tomato ketchup if it is better than the home made
stuff.
The two recipes I have used for tomato sauce beat the mass produced stuff,
the one recipe by some distance.
We would be if ketchup on the NA contintent didn't mean something that
resembles at least in texture if not necessarily taste, Heinz Ketchup.

Ketchup used to mean "sauce" IIRC and could be quite varied in flavour
and ingredients. It didn't have to include tomatoes..
In the U.S. tomato sauce is basically nothing but tomato purried and
cooked down. It might have a very small amount of sweetener, but it
is very little and only added to make up for poor quality tomato.
If you substituted ketchup for any recipe that calls for tomato sauce,
you're going to have a discusting meal that can only be tossed in the
trash.
Agreed... altho' the starving college student handbook has a recipe for
cream of tomato soup made from the free condiments you can get at most
fast food places. ;-)
Involves a cup of hot water, ketchup and coffee creamer packets.
