ragschef said:Had no idea you were a KETCHUP enthusiast, KG. What do you eat it on?
I ask because I have a friend who eats it on everyhting. Literally, everything. His mother made him homemade chicken n' dumplins when he had the flu a few years back and he put ketchup in it! :yuck::cry:
vwpamperedchef said:My brother was like this when he was a kid. Wouldn't eat anything UNLESS it was drenched in ketchup!! I like to think he's matured a bit since then, but he still does dip his roast beef in ketchup!
babyicebean said:Oh.....wondered but wasn't sure.
Can you buy the butter in sticks?How heavy is a stick?
Don't sell things like that in the uk - butter yes but in blocks
The_Kitchen_Guy said:Yes, butter comes in sticks, 4 in a pound. You can still find it in one pound blocks in some places but it's getting rare.

That's why they invented Worchestershire Suace.
(Can anyone explain to me how "Worchester" comes out "Wooster"?)
ETA: Yeah, I know. Purists will say it's "Worcester" but both spellings seem to be acceptable these days.)
And also ETA, Lea & Perrins is the best Worcestershire Sauce.
Sams carries the one pound blocks of butter, too.chefann said:Costco carries the 1 lb. blocks.

We're two countries separated by a common language.If a recipe calls for "tomato sauce," look for canned tomato sauce. Ketchup is something different, it is a condiment and is meant to spread. It contains spices and other ingredients (like vinegar) that you probably don't want in your recipe.Click on the image for more info.PamperedDor said:And FYI - in Ireland they call Catsup (ketchup) Tomato sauce, Chips are french fries (Unless you get them at a McDonalds then they are fries) the bin is garbage pail, etc - the list is endless - So to answer the original question - when the poster goes to the market for "messages" they will want tomato sauce (ketchup) for the recipe..
I'm with you Tara,cookingwith_tara said:I don't eat ketchup. It's mayo or Ranch on anything and everything. That's my dippers. I especially LOVE to dip my FRIES IN MAYO! I also like to dip my fries in the Vanilla Frosty from Wendys. Now that's a true sweet potato!
The_Kitchen_Guy said:Oh, one more thing...if your a ketchup enthusiast, you're going to like Heinz about the best. Hunt's is acceptable in a pinch. Store brands are generics and are...awful.
In Germany, they sell ketchup with curry in it, that you can't get here.
AnnieBee said:Recipes are always made by weight, in ounces, eg for a Victoria Sponge cake, take 4oz each of SR flour, sugar, butter and 4 eggs. Nice and easy. And hardly anyone uses cake mixes!
I'm always really curious as to what the PC recipes are like in the UK!! Our ones are VERY American! (or maybe I should say North American ).
Blah, blah, blah!The_Kitchen_Guy said:[shudder] Ketchup on roast beef? [/shudder]
Fareway still sells both, that is usually where we get our butter, it's cheaper and better than anything else out there.The_Kitchen_Guy said:Yes, butter comes in sticks, 4 in a pound. You can still find it in one pound blocks in some places but it's getting rare.

babywings76 said:Out in Utah (where I went to college), they sell butter in cubes, not sticks. That took some getting used to. (It wouldn't fit right on butter dishes, because they were wider and shorter.) Out there is where I learned about fry sauce. Now that's the best! It's like ketchup and mayo mixed together. McDonald's out there even had manufactured little packets of it that you could get. They don't have them anymore though. But many hamburger joints have containers of fry sauce that you can pump into little cups and use to dip your fries.
Here in PA, some places serve vinegar to put on your fries.
Oickle juice?Jennie4PC said:I have lived in UT almost my whole life Iand I have only bought butter in sticks. I buy it the same way here in NV. Now fry sauce I love. If you mix it with ketchup, mayo and a little oickle juice it tastes even better. I think that is how McDonalds made it. I now Hardees did it that way
Yakmama said:I lived in UT for a short while too. My roommates used to cook with "cubes" of butter- but they were sticks. They just called them cubes. And I LOOOOVE fry sauce. I heard that it's mayo, ketchup, and buttermilk. YUMMY
The_Kitchen_Guy said:Oickle juice?
Must be a Utah delicacy.
Hehehehehehehehehehehe
babyicebean said:And then you get recpies that call for a knob of butter.

Catsup, also known as ketchup, is a condiment typically made from tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, and various spices. It is often used as a topping for foods such as burgers, hot dogs, and fries.
Yes, catsup and ketchup are essentially the same condiment. The spelling and pronunciation vary in different regions, but they both refer to the same sauce made from tomatoes.
Catsup is made by cooking tomatoes with vinegar, sugar, salt, and spices until it thickens into a smooth sauce. Some manufacturers also add additional ingredients such as onion, garlic, and celery for added flavor.
Catsup, like most condiments, should be consumed in moderation. It is a good source of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant found in tomatoes. However, it also contains added sugar and sodium, so it is important to use it sparingly.
Catsup should be stored in the refrigerator after opening to maintain its quality and prevent spoilage. It is best to use it within a few months for optimal freshness, but it can last up to one year if unopened and stored in a cool, dry place.
