As far as I can tell, Tomato Ketchup is different than Tomato sauce in the
spices it uses. Tomato Ketchup (or just Ketchup as we call it here in
Canada) consists of tomato paste, vinegar and maybe some other spices but
that's basically it. We usually put it on hotdogs or hambugers. Tomato sauce
has spices like basil, oregano or whatever else, and is usually served with
pasta.
