    I was in Jervis KFC today and saw a specific brand of tomato ketchup that I would like to buy:

    daddiestomatoketchupsqump7.jpg

    I saw it for sale online, but I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can get this in Dublin?

    Thanks.

    I have definitely seen this somewhere.
    I usually shop in Superquinn/tesco so try one of them??

    For me Chef is the ONLY tomato sauce ...

    Philistine.

    Hellmans Ketchup, only available on import,ftw. It can be bought in the Eastern European foodstores on Talbot St. etc. The thickest tomato ketchup i've encountered.

    Daddies and Kandee Ketchup are for poor people.

    Just to add I saw Daddies in my local SuperValu this evening too.

    I remember we used to have Kandee katchup when we were all poor in the 80s.

    By the way, my brother contends that Chef is the best ketchup but under no circumstances should it be kept in the fridge.

    At the moment, I am using Heinz Organic Ketchup. It looks slightly paler to the normal stuff...tastes the same though.

    heinz is deffo the only brand as far as ketchup is concerned. I was surprised it only got 3 stars in the 'ketchup review' in the tribune yesterday. Although they
    said it was nice.

    They gave M&S own brand 5 stars, may give it a try.

    They didn't even bother reviewing chef which tells you something.

    There was a big poll before, Heinz won it outright. Although I prefer Chef myself, and I also prefer Kandee over Heinz as well. Heinz is fine too though. I wouldn't say I dislike it, any ketchup is fine by me!

    A Heinz lover here, though I too was brought up on the big Kandee bottles.
    You can get a fairly nice ketchup in Lidl aswell, it's no heinz, but it gets the job done.

    M&S ketchup is the winner (its great. garlic and all in it)
    Chef is 2nd

    Heinz isn't in this competition because it's not a "tomato ketchup" as such. it is merely a runny "red sauce" for childrens consumption.

    so there was and heinz owned chef:

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2054940242

    70% to 26%.

    although I certainly feel there is room for all kinds of tastebuds in this world and am pretty sure trying to
    argue each others tastebuds into liking one more than
    the other isn't going to work.

    I'm all for diversity, at least in condiments.

    Alas I fear you may be correct, there will always be those who will waddle straight past the door of a triple Michelin starred restaurant to get to the nearest McDonalds. If only more people were blessed with the wisdom of imeatingchips;)

    It is too vinegary - and it doesn't stick to your chips like Chef does.

    OhhH! The frustration of being in Burger King at 3am on a Saturday morning,
    trying desperately to get some bleedin Heinz to stay on the fries.
    I wonder do Chef do sachets? I could head out on the town prepared :)

    surely it is the other way round? chef is too spicy and
    overpowering, the more discerning pallet doesn't need
    so much. It is the people with bland taste buds that need
    the over the topness that is chef!

    let's face it, chef just tries too hard..

    This might be the right place to appeal for help with my current prediciment.
    I often purchase food in my college canteen where all they have ketchup-wise is sachets of the most foul vinegary excuse for ketchup I've ever tasted. Should I just go for it and bring a bottle of quality ketchup in with me? Or is this going to far, and perhaps just plain weird?

    I carry a small squeezy bottle of heinz everywhere I go. People act like you are nuts, but they all want a squeeze of it in the end...

    Mine does that too, and the same with mayonnaise. I want Hellmenns, dammit! And it then means that you can't smuggle sachets home with you.

    However, I think it'd be a bit weird if you brought your own. Maybe get sachets from somewhere else, and bring them?

    I suppose that's an issue too, I could be burning through it due to generous sharing.

    Ironically, though it'd be considered less weird, I'd have to put in much more effort getting other sachets than just bring in some heinz from home.

    It's a tough decision.

    No way!! - I taste tested last night, Chef is nice and 'tomatoey'
    Heinz is just vinegar with some thickening agent and red food colouring.

    Was in BóBós on Friday night, devastated that I had to sully my fine chips
    with Heinz. Bleugh! Shame on you BóBós. They should be pushing the Chef - in with the pints of TK red lemonade.

    ya see thats the difference between the heinzists and the chefites. The Chefites talk a good game but will just give in and use Heniz when available. A true Heinzist would never sully his/her chips with chef but would rather eat bone dry ones instead (with maybe a little vinegar, even chef vinegar is ok).

    To be honest, I'd use Kandee if there wasn't any other ketchup available. I cannot bear to eat dry chips.

    lets not get into a debate on the best type of chips!

    although there isn't much to debate, chipper chips or home
    made fresh ones in a deep fat fryer.

    Anything involving an oven or reconstituted potato is not a chip.

    A mixture of heinz and chef is nice. I prefer heinz with chips and fish, I prefer chef on burgers. They are totally different, so I would not really choose one over the other. It is like coke N pepsi as though you have to hate one over the other, I prefer pepsi while eating, and coke as a mixer or drink on its own.

    Hellmans ketchup is nice as mentioned, you get it in sachets in some pubs, I always rob a handful.

    Anybody make their own ketchup?
    Anybody like mushroom ketchup?

    I've noticed most of the ketchups are almost 30% sugar, I think Kandee is lower at about 12%, along with Tesco's Value brand (possibly the same product.) There was a taste test on ketchup in one of the newspapers recently and M&S and Aldi scored the highest.
