      Curry ketchup blew my mind the first time I tried it. Need to figure out where I can buy it from in the UK.

      How can you eat that stuff? It’s supposed to be ketchup, not curry. And currywurst is also an abomination. Nürnbergers or polish white sausages!

          Feel free, I don’t hold you accountable to my opinion! I’m 100% sure that there are things in my cuisine that you’d find absolutely disgusting. Different people, different tastes.

      I only buy fancy shit now and just eat less of it, like stokes and a couple of local ones.

      All that own brand stuff is just tomato juice concentrate with a load of thickening agents plus sugar and crap to make it taste like something. And Heinz was always overly sweet crap anyway.

      It’s a bit of a long drive to Aldis for some of us, I don’t know which country the closest one is in. Most people probably just buy what they grew up on. For me that’s Felix so I guess you could say it’s European, but Orkla is publicly traded so it sorta loses all meaning.

      The Heinz who started the company was the son of German immigrant parents, hence the surname.

      Brand ownership can get super weird.

      Heinz is an American company. Daddies, which is a very British brand, is now owned by Heinz too, so is also American.

      On the other hand Helmann’s (of both mayo and ketchup providence) is an American brand which is now owned by Unilever…so technically British.

      Fun fact time! Heinz originated in Pittsburgh and used to have a massive factory built in the 1910’s, and when it shut down they eventually renovated it into apartments. The buildings are now all named after what they once produced there - Bean Building, Meat Building, Cereal Building, Reservoir Building, and Shipping Building.

      It’s rumored that the Meat Building has a vibrant gay community.

    Gewürzketchup is pretty different, though. It’s not like there aren’t hundreds of brands that make regular ketchup.

      You can make mayonnaise yourself within a few minutes. Its just eggyolk and oil. Tastes way better than anything store bought.

      I once went to a fancy steak house and ordered potato wedges on the side

      They brought us a sauciere of their “new sauce they are working on” to try out

      And I swear it was literally just slightly thinned hela curry ketchup

      It tasted exactly the same. Still great on wedges, tho

    Aussie “ketchup” (tomatey sauce) is more rich and less firetruck red sickly sweet.

    Speaking as a veteran of the Canadian Ketchup Wars, victory is achievable!

    Canada brought Heinz to it’s knees in our ketchup war nearly a decade ago, you can do it too.

        Yeah but the goal of that Ketchup War wasn’t to boycott the US, just to ensure that ketchup was being produced in Canada. And it was successful as Heinz was forced to open a new plant in Canada.

        Now I just get the store brand Ketchup (seems good enough to me, it’s likely made in the same plant as French’s) so I think the US is completely out from my Ketchup purchases. Though I’m not sure who owns that plant (it’s not French’s they just have a contract with that plant to make it for them) but the point is to reduce the amount of money going to the US as much as possible, and that’ll do it.
