And so much better too
Their Curry ketchup is awesome
I once went to a fancy steak house and ordered potato wedges on the side
They brought us a sauciere of their "new sauce they are working on" to try out
And I swear it was literally just slightly thinned hela curry ketchup
It tasted exactly the same. Still great on wedges, tho
I'd order some from here just to try it but with the rate things ship to me it won't be hela fresh.
badum'tsh
Let's not use pedos in memes though.
Oliehoorn ftw.
Flying Goose Red Hot Chili Sauce is the only thing you need. Ketchup is for the weak.
Aussie "ketchup" (tomatey sauce) is more rich and less firetruck red sickly sweet.
Rosella for those interested! https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/61679 (on a meat pie)
Speaking as a veteran of the Canadian Ketchup Wars, victory is achievable!
Canada brought Heinz to it's knees in our ketchup war nearly a decade ago, you can do it too.
Sadly even french's is now owned by the americans.
Yeah but the goal of that Ketchup War wasn't to boycott the US, just to ensure that ketchup was being produced in Canada. And it was successful as Heinz was forced to open a new plant in Canada.
Now I just get the store brand Ketchup (seems good enough to me, it's likely made in the same plant as French's) so I think the US is completely out from my Ketchup purchases. Though I'm not sure who owns that plant (it's not French's they just have a contract with that plant to make it for them) but the point is to reduce the amount of money going to the US as much as possible, and that'll do it.
Wasnโt it always? I think it is a guys name, not a nationality.
The Americans boycotted it during the Iraq wars but that is just because they are stable geniuses.
[edit: just looked it up - Robert French โ from New York ]
Upvoted for that โstable geniusesโ line. Perfect
It was what the Canadian market moved to for ketchup and mustard after heinz fucked over Canadian workers. Its what the above is referring to, the move to the brand of "french's" to be more pro Canadian.
I am not talking about what usa people did or did not do, just that the Canadian move to french's is now not good enough.
Want to try these, anyone seen them in UK shops?
You're the first British person I've met that wasn't adamant that "brown sauce" was superior and no other condiment is ever needed.
I'm not British and brown sauce is great, but these German ones are also great. Keeping my diet in check these days so no sauces for me though T_T
That statement is correct, but without an inferior sauce to compare it to you can't show other people. I'd rather not buy US for that.
Yes! This is the attitude I've come to expect from British people about brown sauce :P
HP sauce is very available in Canada as well if that is your thing. That is the โbrown sauceโ in the UK and it is everywhere.
No, HP and generic "brown sauce" are very different animals. TBH I don't much like either, preferring ketchup, but my wife will only touch HP. She won't touch no-name generic brown sauce at all.
Oh I know, and I've traveled so I've had brown sauce before. But condiment preferences is all about what you're used to, so I prefer ketchup. Just find it amusing how adamant British people are about the superiority of brown sauce.
HP is owned by Heinz/Kraft.
Daddies is as well.
I'm not going without brown sauce. Some compromises have to be made.
Ha yeah, ive never been a fan of brown sauce. And its nice to try something new for a change.
You spelt "Felix Ketchup" wrong.
I'm a fan of Zeisner ketchup, but usually buy store brand (Boni) because my kids seem to drink it instead of dosing.
Is that BBQ flavored ketchup? God, I'm so down for that.
Isn't BBQ sauce already smoke-flavored ketchup (in most cases)?
Ketchup is the main component in what most people think of as BBQ sauce. There are others that are regional within the US that are vinegar-based and mustard-based (and possibly another I'm forgetting).
