Ketchup

Serbian

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



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

Thanks.

olaola

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 ...

mickith

think you can get daddies in lidl or maybe aldi. not too sure which one
it aint too bad neither

They have that in Superquinn alright...never tried it though...

To be honest, all tomato sauce tastes the same to me...

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.

brettmirl

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.

Ugh, Chef is spicy! Heinz is the only ketchup!

agree with you there,most of the other brands just taste awful

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.

rugbug86

chef or heinz for me...

they have chef in the spar in col, gets a bit vinegeary though..

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.

imeatingchips

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.

imeatingchips

heinz hasnt even got any tomatoes in it. its made of glass shards, sugar and carcinogenics and the blood of 3rd world babies.

so there was and heinz owned chef:

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.

That thread brings back a lot of memories.. mainly bad ones for some reason.

Still.. each to their own and all that

Malteaser!

ive never even seen that Daddies stuff!

I know this will be a controversial opinion, but ketchup is the work of the devil.

Starts lacing up runners...

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;)

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

bleugh!

Malteaser!

you're right about the not sticking to the chips thing but Chef just tastes way too strong!

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

Chef is awesome.

All of you plebs who like heinz have bland bland tastebuds.:D

Malteaser!

i like being able to taste the food i'm eating as well though!!!

it certainly is, no way God come have come up with something as devilishly tasty as heinz.


he could come up with chef in his sleep though

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..

Malteaser!

true story!!

Nalz

chef red sauce for pizza crusts
heinz for everything else

Ah but of course, since Chef is the stuff of dreams:p

Mmm, now I want ketchup.

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.

Malteaser!

bringing your one is just a bit weird!

that excuse of a ketchup is gross though!

Heinz all the way for me.

Bleedin' Chef is just half solidified vinegar.

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 get our priority straight here... it's all about the chips.

Chef is first on my list, then mayo. If no mayo, than anything wet - beans, gravy, coleslaw usw...

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.

I came across HP ketchup last night in my local Mace. Very nice and 50% free
