Ketchup or tomato sauce? What's the difference?!

[Pirate]

I just thought they were two names for the same thing.

 

[Idfldnsndt]

the word 'ketchup' is so annoying to me. it's tomato sauce people.

"Ketchup" isn't really used where I live. Both are called tomato sauce.

 

[Benevoir]

In my area people refer tomato sauce to as 'tomato paste' and ketchup is, well, tomato sauce.

Maybe because the American ketchup tastes weird? A lot of American tourists say Dutch ketchup tastes weird, but that tastes a lot like tomatoes. So in Holland tomato sauce would be a pretty good name for it. But maybe in America there is more of a difference between them?

Ketchup in the U.S is smooth and super sugary. Tomato sauce tends to be chunky (with bits of tomato in it) and actually tastes like tomato.

In the UK there's no difference between tomato sauce and ketchup... they're simply smooth tomato flavoured sauces that you dip chips in.

Alternatively there is the cooking version of it which you use with spaghetti.

I hate tomatoes, therefore I hate tomato sauce. By that logic I should also hate ketchup but I actually really love ketchup!

i guess because ketchup doesn't really taste like tomatoes...

I like tomatoes, but hate ketchup. As far as I'm concerned, the taste is completely different and I can't stomach ketchup at all. Tomato sauce is fine, though. It's really good with spaghetti and pasta in general.

 

[ellabella12345]

I agree ketchup doesn't even taste like tomatoes

 

[in-a-pickle]

Ketchup is nasty.

I like tomatoes though :0
