Advantages: Cheap in price Disadvantages: Acidic taste, strange over powering flavours
When it comes to eating my tea I always end up with a lot of sauces accompanying it. This can range from anything from mayonnaise, barbeque sauce to tomatoketchup. I don't think there are many people who don't like a bit of tomatoketchup with their chips (Unless you're my dad that is who gets in a panic if it ends up on his plate!)
I have always been a big fan of the Heinz brand of tomatoketchup but lately I have watched the price go up and up, the 570g bottle currently retailing in Tesco for the price of £2.00. I decided to try the Tesco Value tomatoketchup, the 570g bottle being priced at a fantastic 38p, after all, Ketchup is ketchup and surely they could not be that much difference in taste, a tomato is a tomato and I was only paying for fancy packaging and a brand name right????
The Tesco Value product comes in a glass ...
Advantages: Good value, nice taste Disadvantages: Doesn't go with ice-cream
After being accused over the last couple of weeks of having ketchup with everything, I thought this brand of the red stuff deserved a quick review as it is currently has pride of place in my fridge.
It is presented in what nowadays seems to be the typical ketchup bottles, in a plastic container with a reseal able white lid. I believe these new designs of bottles have meant to be easy to extract the sauce. This have to say is successful in the fact that unlike the traditional glass containers you do not risk emptying have the bottles contents onto your food to make it into an undesirable tangy tomato soup. However, I find once you get to the end of the bottle it is incredibly difficult to get the last of the precious sauce out. The bottle in my fridge contains 720grams although I believe it is available in a variety of sizes ...
Advantages: Inexpensive, great taste, glass bottle Disadvantages: Not as concentrated as Heinz Chilli Ketchup
I started buying this Tomato Sauce a few years ago from Lidl's.
Priced very affordable at £0.58p (Oct 2009) it leaves it's rivals for dust.
As for the taste it tastes a lot like Heinz Chilli Ketchup which is way more expensive.
The ketchup comes in a 500ml/ 560grams glass jar. I quite like this because it is old-fashioned.
It has 0.2% chilli in it and it's very low in fat.
The taste of the ketchup is not too hot, it won't blow your head off!
The texture is quite thick but not too thick and once eaten, leaves a lovely after-taste.
Maybe this is beacuse the container is glass and not plastic.
I've introduced a few family members to this sauce and they now love it.
I buy it quite often as I'm a sauce person not a mayonnaise person.
This product represents excellent value for money, forget Tesco Tomato Sauce, etc. You will not ...

Album Notes
Stereolab: Duncan Brown, Tim Gane, Mary Hansen, Morgane Lhote, Andy Ramsay, Laetitia Sadier (vocals, various instruments). Additional personnel: Sean O'Hagan (string arranger, electric piano, organ, vibraphone); Marcus Holdaway, Sally Herbert, Mandy Drummond, Meg Gates (strings); Ray Dickarty (alto saxophone); John McEntire (vibraphone, guitar, synthesizers, maracas, tambourine). Producers include: Paul Tipler, Duncan Brown, Tim Gane, Mary Hansen, Morgane Lhote. Engineers include: Paul Tipler, John McEntire, Paul Tipler. Recorded at Blackwing Studios, London, England and Idful Music Corp., Chicago, Illinois. Stereolab have always been fascinated with a wide range of textures, which, under their special care, come together in a droney, poppy, spacey sound all their own. In their hands, the monotony of mid-'70s Krautrock, the hi-fi effects of so-called space-age bachelor-pad music (strings, eccentric harmonies, odd studio sounds), and the simplicity of the Velvet Underground's dark pop combine into a mighty monolith that pushes popular music's borders, while making heads sway in teeny-bopperish glee. EMPEROR TOMATO KETCHUP adds a bit of funk to Stereolab's system, making the monolith swing in directions only hinted at previously. "Metronomic Underground," for instance, builds a series of mysterious grooves over its eight-minute span; it's as structured as the title implies, and as smoky as the French cafes Laetitia Sadier's vocals evoke. But the discovery of the groove is only one of Stereolab's newfound pleasures. The spacing of instruments has taken on a whole new dimension (listen to how the interplay of syncopated guitars, shaker and organ constructs the melody of "Tomorrow Is Already Here"), spreading out the band's formerly vertical sound. And their association with studio savant John McEntire (of Tortoise) has elevated the technological aspects always inherent in their creations. Still, jumpy one-note sambas like the title track remain the group's forte; a telling sign that as much as EMPEROR TOMATO KETCHUP widens Stereolab's horizon, it doesn't lose sight of what makes them unique.
