Is Kandee Ketchup Gone?

Hurricane-Dean · 19-07-2010 6:40pm #1

I was in Superquinn today, the only place left that sold Kandee Ketchup. But
I was shocked when I went to the shelf and the place where it normally is and noticed it was gone!! Even the label was taken down and it was replaced with some organic sauce??

Basically doe anyone know if Kandee is out of business or does anyone know any other place I can buy it??

I've just noticed this myself.

The bottles are so big we haven't needed any in a while, but I've noticed it's no longer stocked anywhere I do my shopping. I cant go back to any other sauce, they all taste like crap compared to Kandee.

What's going on? I'm scared and my chips are without sweet tomato ketchup.

I've seen it in Tesco Galway. I've also seen it in a Mace and a Supervalu. I've seen it loads of places. My brothers still use it at home

Just add a cup of water and a few spoons of sugar to another bottle of ketchup and you'll have your lovely manky bottle of Kandee "ketchup"!!

Kandee Ketchup was always for poor people

Hurricane-Dean · 14-01-2011 5:00pm

I should really get a poll going on this, any mods agree?

actually I think kandee might have more tomatoes in it than chef or heinz. A few own brand ones have more tomatoes too. Kandee is very vinegary and that is what many people like, you can just add more vinegar to other ketchups, they go more runny which I like on chips.

They are 1kg bottles, usually a good bit cheaper per kilo.

Oh I hate it. I grew up in a big family, and there was always about three different bottles of ketchup on the go- the little ones liked Kandee, I ate Chef sauce and two of my siblings loved Daddie's Sauce.

amiable · 15-01-2011 3:08pm

I can confirm i saw a 1kg bottle of Kandee in supervalu earlier for 1.75

Kerikosan · 15-01-2011 11:36pm

It is very vinegary but some ppl love that

I'll have kandee or chef or Heinz any day im not fussy

Little Alex · 16-01-2011 1:50am

Kandee is the Harp Lager of ketchups.

And there are stacks of it still to be had...

Wholesale price €9.45 + VAT. :pac:

FTGFOP · 16-01-2011 4:15am

Remember being a child and being disgusted by Heinz' lack of homogeneity, reaching for Kandee in preference. I struggle to remember what their brown sauce was like.

rachel10 · 29-05-2012 6:46pm

Iv been looking for it everywhere is it still in dunnes?or anywhere

Thanks for shoving your opinion down our throats. That sounds just like chef btw, except you might need a few litres of malt vinegar too. :rolleyes:
