Amazon!

Oh boy, they have Senf too. On order

I'm also a fan of German ketchup (and mustard), but we normally have some American ketchup in the house. My wife and son like it. I don't normally use it, and I doubt I could tell the difference between Heinz, Hunts, Del Monte, or any of the other common brands.

I eat very little ketchup, maybe a cup of it a year and I can definitely taste a difference between brands and it's a pretty large difference.

My tastes have changed on ketchup, and I take Heinz and add Tobasco sauce and Horseradish to it. Sort of a hot and spicy cocktail sauce/ketchup. It works for me.

Brooks is a bit spicier than Heinz.

Whataburger regular ketchup here, and I also have Whataburger Mustard in the fridge. Good stuff.

We don't use very much ketchup but I do like to make some from beets we grow.

This fall I'm going to smoke a bunch of beets and see how that works with the ketchup recipe. I'm thinking it will give it a good twang...

A local amusement park Kennywood was bought out by a Mexican company a while back. They tried to change the Heinz ketchup and french fry cheese. The uproar made it to the news channels and they changed it back. Pittsburgh and Heinz ketchup fo hand in hand.

I also noticed many restaurants are switching to generic sugar packed. I normally don’t care about generic brands but its noticeable with sweet n low.

Do you have a recipe that you can share?

I mix Heinz ketchup with Heinz chili sauce and add horseradish and finely chopped celery for an excellent cocktail sauce for shrimp and crab cocktails. Yum

Ironically, ketchup was invented for one purpose: to cover the flavor of rotting food. And now we're ketchup snobs. It was originally made from mushrooms, not tomatoes.

The middle east, especially Saudi Arabia and UAE and the region, is obsessed with ketchup. Everything ketchup. Ketchup ramen noodles. Ketchup potato chips. Ketchup everything. None of it tastes like ketchup. It sells, but it's disgusting, if one is looking for actual (american) ketchup.

Heinz is available, but even that doesn't taste the same. But then why would it? One isn't stateside. Still, if one goes looking for familiar ketchup, one would be (and is) disappointed.

Given a choice, I'll take fry sauce or just mayo, instead. Or course, there are a lot of forms of mayo, too...

When you get right down to it, all sauces were.

Red Gold ketchup suits me.

I had no idea one could get German curry ketchup.

OMG what memories that brings back. It was the Zehlendorfer Rathauskeller, 1966. Kurrywurst mit Kartoffelsalat und ein Pils. Now maybe I need to find some Berliner Weisse and raspberry syrup.

I ordered the Hela two-pack to get spicy and sweet. Thanks Wayniac!!!

BTW my wife will never buy Heinz Ketchup, for reasons mentioned above.

I heard only commies like Hunts.
