Ketchup has vinegar. Tomato sauce has herbs. They would have to
work hard at being any different. Neither bad, but not even
remotely the same.

I buy the ketchup as I think it is a bit thicker, and I like the squeezy
bottle.
I think it tastes the same as Big Red ... not that I am much of a tom. sauce
user ... but there you go.

Nancy,

Confusion arising from differing terminology I think.

In Australia, if we talk about "tomato sauce" we're talking about a
vinegar based tomato sauce in a bottle, similar to ketchup and used as a
condiment.

In the US, AFAICS, if you talk about "tomato sauce" you're talking about
a sauce made from tomatoes and herbs to be used perhaps with pasta. And,
from your comment in another post, usually packaged in a can? A product
like this would probably be called a tomato puree here, or a pasta
sauce.

It's a cultural thing. You use tomato sauce, they use ketchup/catsup. Same
stuff differing countries.

Now if you wanted to make a tomato based sauce for pasta what would be the
name of the tomato substances you would use? I would use tomato paste and
tomato sauce. Basically because I'm too lazy to start with real tomatoes.

But is not the same stuff I'd use as a condiment on my eggs or french
fries. I live in Canada and I am exposed to American and British based
cooking concepts frequently. Up here tomato sauce comes in a can and is
thinner than ketchup. You can get Ketchup in a can, but thats the
industrial sized monster can. You wouldn't confuse 2 bowls of the stuff. Oh
and of course the tomato sauce doesn't taste the same as ketchup.


If I was making cream of tomato soup, I would use tomato sauce and cream as
my main ingredients. I wouldn't be using ketchup. If I was going to dress
up a hotdog I wouldn't be using tomato sauce I'd use ketchup.

Ketchup is a condiment liken to HP sauce or A1 steak Sauce (in North
America).

Tomato sauce is used (in North America) mostly as a cooking ingredient.
Whereas Ketchup is used mostly as a condiment.

Actually the problem is that "Ketchup" has been shortened from "Tomato
Ketchup". {Americans and their Slang differ from the Ozzies and their
Slang}.

The confusion here is that in the U.S. tomato sauce
is an ingredient while catsup/ketchup is a seasoned
condiment.

Well, I loathe shortcutting on pasta sauces ( I go the 'from scratch'
option), but if I were to buy a sauce for pasta, that is what they are
called - "pasta sauces".

It comes in a jar, and popular brands would be Dolmio, Paul Newman,
Raguletto, etc.
You would not put it on your french fries ( though you could ).
The idea is to either dump the jar on top of your hot boiled pasta, or to
add other things ( veges, minced meat ) and use it as a simmer base,

If I asked my husband to pop out and get me some tomato sauce, he'd assume
we'd be BBQ'ing and bring me back 'ketchup'. You would not put tomato sauce
on pasta unless you really had no clue, or were dirt poor and it beat
starving.

I would get a can of Heinz Big Red soup and add milk to it
Then again, this is comfort food for me, reminiscent of childhood, and a
dish not for sharing with guests

who didn't know the look of bad food when she saw it. I can't describe the

Hi Rhonda! Tomato sauce here is almost as you describe it. However it would
be "used" to make a pasta sauce not used as a pasta sauce. Tomato purée here
is just that: puréed tomatoes with no herbs or spices in it. Interesting and
fun to compare these things. I was _astonished_ to see on the Heinz AU site
the presence of canned flavored tuna! That is very different!

Yes it must be fairly recent. I'm in Tassie and Coles didn't carry it in
September (I was after some for a particular recipe). Mind you I'm in
Devonport not Hobart and it is fairly hard to get some things here I
miss the supermarkets and deli's in Hobart.

Have you ever had the same recipe made with the "normal" amount of
cinnamon? That could also be the culprit.

I think perhaps we just don't have something exactly equivalent to your
"tomato sauce" on the supermarket shelves. It's not something I've ever
bought, anyway. I'll have to have a close look at the canned tomato
products next time I shop.

Do you not have canned flavoured tuna in the US? Or is it just that Heinz
don't make it? There are numerous brands of it available here. All in
small individual sized cans. I usually have several in the cupboard -
they make an easy lunch for work accompanied by bread, or crackers, or
added to a salad.

I think that this must be the case. US-style tomato sauce is certainly
unnecessary. Just a convenience that one gets used to.

Never seen them here. It was very surprising to me! Not something I would

<S> I know.

Obviously, I don't associate the Heinz brand name with tuna.
Do they package it as Heinz or some other brand?

Bumblee and Chicken of the Sea are the two best known brands
for me.

Never heard of Bumble Bee - not a brand seen here. Heinz own Greenseas
brand of canned seafood. Not sure how long Heinz have owned the company.

OK - I must have missed the post on truffle flavouring. There are a
number of brands of flavoured tuna available here, but I haven't seen
truffle flavoured on the supermarket shelf! There are both tuna in oil,
and the low fat tuna in springwater product. They come mainly in
individual serve cans (95g) though some brands (Greenseas, for example)
also have larger cans. Also in pouches. Some of the flavours that I've
tried (in various brands) are lemon and dill, sundried tomato and basil,
lemon and black pepper, lime and black pepper, soy and ginger. There are
other flavourings also - a couple of chilli ones, I think.

I find them a useful store item for work lunches. Very handy to throw in
my bag along with some bread, some crackers, or corn thins - quick to do
if I didn't prepare lunch the night before. Or if I've thrown some salad
greens, cucumber and tomato into a container, I might take along a tin of
flavoured tuna to add to the salad.

Starkist do make flavoured tuna in the US, called 'Tuna Creations'. Very
limited selection.

All the canned tuna I have ever seen in
the U.S. is...tuna flavored. What flavor
is YOUR tuna! (This brings up really
awful conjectures--chocolate tuna,
peanut butter tuna, grape jelly tuna.
You get the point!

No, I don't get the point. Your ludicrous conjectures don't remotely
reflect flavors that many might feel acceptable. Flavors like lemon,
herbs, onion, etc., would certainly not be offputting to many people.
That said, however, I would still prefer to buy my tuna without added
flavors and add my own.

Your experience mirrors mine then... no truffle flavored
tuna. <S>

Interesting! This is a brand new product according to the Del Monte website.
No wonder I haven't seen it before.

We've had it in our ABQ supermarkets for a while now and we are hardly
market leaders for that sort of thing.

When our supermarkets open up again I'll look for these. It isn't something
I would normally look for so I imagine I'd just walk on by without a clue.

When they did arrive, they were stacked at the ends of the canned
fish/meat aisle, so hard to miss. Haven't tried them, as we'd rather add
our own flavourings.

Before Christmas, we scored two cases of 'Polar' brand tuna at about 20
cents a can. It's chunk light tuna and really is very good quality. Real
chunks, rather than the shreds much 'chunk' tuna normally is. Had bought
it for the cats, but after opening the first can, decided we would share
LOL.

I remember once our father gave us something that looked like ham. Only after
we had finished our plates he told us what it was - Cow's Tongue! - ugh!

Tongue can actually be very good if properly prepared. I think pickled
tongue is even better!

Did you like it before you knew what it was? If so, what is your
objection?

Tongue is delicious when properly prepared.
