    Chef all the way, red sauce, brown sauce and salad cream.
    None in the fridge apart from the salad cream

    I remember coming to Ireland for the first time back in the day, and falling about laughing at people calling ketchup 'tomato ketchup'. :D What else would ketchup be, but tomato?
    falling about? really? you're the ignorant one, Dunnes have mushroom ketchup.

    This is why I wouldn't call it "tomato sauce" which to me could mean pasta type sauces. Ketchups have vinegar & sugar.

    People should try a few more too, you invariably see only heinz & chef mentioned. In some asian shops they have 2 types of delmonte. And I prefer lots of the own brands over heinz & chef, neither of which actually have relatively much tomato in them. There are loads of own brands too, within their own shops they can have 4-5 types. It'd be like beer polls and only having heineken & bud.

    I like my ketchups and usually have 3 types in my press at any time, different ones go with different things.

    I find my brain can switch seamlessly between the two.

    This unique ability has opened the door to a whole new world of culinary experiences, from sampling the produce of arse-scratching roadside chip van attendants, to the dizzy heights of Abrakebabra in Drumcondra.

    Most of the sweet brown BBQ sauces are really just variations of tomato ketchup, check them side by side and the main ingredients are very similar. Look at most chefs making up BBQ sauce and the main ingredient is tomato ketchup.

    Red Sauce
    I used to say red sauce when I was young because its what my parents said but now I refer to it as ketchup.

    Always assumed "red sauce" was a lower class thing. Like "Santy".

    I always thought Santy was just an Irish thing. Santa is way to USA for my liking. Another one that annoys me is people calling their mother "mum" or woe betide "mom". She's your Irish mammy for God's sake, and if you're shortening it to anything it should be Mam! I think hallmark have a lot to answer for especially with "mum".

    As for ketchup/red sauce, I use both. Ketchup in the likes of McDonalds, Burger King etc. but red sauce at the deli counter. It's context/ who you're speaking to.

    I can deal with 'mum', mostly because I accept that we were once part of the UK and we share a great deal of our culture but 'mom' is inexcusable. F**king idiots see it on American TV and start using it. I actually find it a bit pathetic when people adopt culture from American media.

    Yup any irish person who says diapers needs a good slap.


    It's ketchup anyone who says red sauce must be those weridoes who eat brown sauce which is one of the most vilest substances, like marmite.
