The trollops are here, at least some of them, but the head trollop
(Damsel) is taking a long hiatus.

I think tube tomato paste is a great idea because it will keep almost
indefinitely. I'd use it when I just need a dab of tomato for a sauce
or soup.... as it is now, I've resigned myself to a squirt of tomato
ketchup (which actually isn't as bad as it sounds).

Maybe they think the product is worthy of a larger market and how they
do it is by publishing their opinion. JMO, so maybe I'm right.... or
maybe I'm wrong.

True, true! This is why one should always keep a few blister-
packs of ketchup around. They are available at a reasonable
price from McDonald's, BurgerKing, etc. Not to mention Sam's
Club, although they are more expensive there.... <G>
