BUTTER!. BUTTER!  OMG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Todays version is **** thin and tasteless, bring back the real stuff. Yes, and yes it is.  Buy Red Gold ketchup. Way better, the best in fact.

What I think they do is put pressure on to reduce whatever ingredient they currently don't like, be it eggs, dairy produce, fat, sugar, etc, but is it just me, or does anyone else think that hp sauce is not a patch on what it was ?

Perhaps that's because it was in a cold bottle, which kept it cooler and prevented it flowing?  Now its in a plastic bottle which is just squeezed.

Glass may feel cooler but thats because it conducts heat better away from your fingers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Better in what way, taste nicer? That could just mean more sugar.  I bought some Heinz ketchup yesterday, reduced sugar and salt, 174% of tomatoes per 100g of ketchup. The cheap sauces were over 50% sugar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Isabelle   10 #43 Posted January 10, 2019 Hellmans do a nice tomato ketchup, it is sweetened with honey rather than sugar, and its really tomatoey. I couldn't find any recently, and ended up buying Heinz, and was really disappointed. That reminds me, I must buy some more....  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

neeeeeeeeeek   10 #45 Posted January 10, 2019 Low low salt and sugar one is good, I prefer it now, the normal ones tastes far too sweet. Same as giving up sugar in tea, it;s what you get used to!  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
