ketchup or sauce?

[davidc4430]

should our companies be calling it sauce or ketchup?

[imastawka]

When I had my vegie garden up and running, and had an abundance of tomatoes, every year I made 'tomato sauce'

But now, I think I really made ketchup.  It was thick and spicy/sweet

I prefer my home made sauce whatever it is

Tomato sauce is more sweet.

Ketchup is more spicy.

I prefer Ketchup, tomato sauce is too sweet for me.

I also prefer whole egg mayo, the others are too vinegary.

No I did not but that explanation you have given makes sense.

The biggie is vinegar, usually red wine vinegar. And a dash of anchovy paste in real ketchup. Garlic, salt, black pepper and the vinegar is what makes it.

The anchovy part of it, for home made tomato sauce is adding Worcestershire Sauce

(called 'Where's ya sister sauce' by my grandson)     It's Woostersheer
