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. |

I don't eat a lot of it, but I like that brand quite a bit when I do... If I make a cooked down "tomato sauce" for canning or freezing, it's generally flavored Italian style, or sometimes made into a Salsa/Picante. -- Peace!

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. -- Peace!
