Heinz has been an ubiquitous brand in the UK for over a century IIRC, not
only ketchup but also tinned (canned) baked beans and soups, etc., many of
these items are produced specifically for the UK market. You can find Heinz
UK things at World Market and most any store that carries a selection of
imported UK foodstuffs...

Greg...I was in a gourmet food market today for lunch. They have a
great deli counter.

And what was on the grocery section shelf?? Heinz Tomato soup!!..I
just had to pick it up to read the label.

Then I looked at the price.....$3.49 for a 10 oz./ 305g can.......and
sat it gently back on the shelf. But it did have a pull ring
top for easy opening.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._J._Heinz_Company

"H. J. Heinz Company (NYSE:*HNZ), commonly known as Heinz, famous for
its "57 Varieties" slogan, is an American processed-food product company
with its world headquarters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania."

"Canada

Heinz was established in Canada in 1908 in Leamington, Ontario (Tomato
Capital of Canada). The products are shipped from Leamington with
English and French labels mostly to the United States. Ketchup is one of
the main products there along with baby food."

Homemade tomato soup is really wonderful, especially made with fresh
tomatoes from the garden, and there have already been some nice recipes
posted in this thread. I'm going to focus on the "easy", especially for
a nighttime snack. Some people (not me), just heat up some tinned or
jarred tomato juice. Shake it up, pour into a cup and microwave until
warm to your liking. A little milk or cream added and stirred in before
heating would be good. I would add a few drops of hot red pepper sauce.

That sounds similar to the Tightwad Gazette tomato soup recipe:

Tomato Soup from The Complete Tightwad Gazette
1 6 oz can tomato paste
24 oz milk (refill tomato paste can four times)
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
1 teaspoon celery seed

Put tomato paste in a small saucepan. Add the milk using the can,
rinsing thoroughly. Add the salt and the celery seed. Cook on medium
heat, stirring occasionally.

Yep, I have bought some Heinz products at World Market. I like the UK

That sounds really good, Greg, and I’m sure I would like it. But I’ll still
take the canned stuff as “comfort food”. I could see your version making a
nice luncheon soup!

If you can stomach soy milk/cream. Personally, I can’t. But I’m not

I wasn't aware that they originated in the US. I live near Leamington and
they process soups, ketchup, beans and baby food among other things. My
kids were fed the baby food as infants. Their products are quite reasonably
priced comparing to Campbell's and I prefer Heinz tomato soup over
Campbell's....Sharon

I could find it in the British section of a supermarket chain here
until about a year ago. I thought a British grocery store was
going to start carrying it, but I was just there, and it sounds
like they don't intend to get it. (OTOH, I was delighted to find
the dark chocolate HobNobs.)

Until I called Om on being a racist because the first thing she had to say
about President Elect Obama was that "many people, like me, are bothered by
the fact that he got where he is via affirmative action" I was A-okay with
her. Now I am "spreading lies" about her. Because I call that a racist
statement.

As for the irony, I noted that as I replied. Although, there are bitches and
then there are bitches. I have the courage of my convictions, but sneering
over petty things is not a favorite avocation, as it is with Cathy.

Is that really how it's officially written in Italian, or is it a
colloquial spelling? I haven't bought anything in kilos in Italy ever, I
think.

Yes that's it even though you will see the international abbreviation km kg
