Re: [lace-chat] Aussie lifestyle
Ketchup is a tomato based condiment with vinegar in it, often kept on the table to be put on hamburgers, hot dogs, French fries along with mustard. Hm - I wonder then if it might be the same as what we call Tomato Relish - much nicer than Tomato Sauce - perhaps a cross between that and Tomato Chutney !!!

I make all my chutney for my curries, and would make tomato relish if we ate it, but nobody I ever heard of makes their own ketchup (though one could) - everybody buys it, and it used to come only in tall, slender glass jars that were impossible to pour it out of. Now it often comes in a squeeze bottle which is much more convenient. http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Homemade-Ketchup-109037 If you try making this, be aware that the combination of tomato and sugar is going to want to go dark brown on the bottom of the pan quite easily. My husband has always preferred to add ketchup to his mother's (and our) home-made spaghetti sauce on his plate...but sometimes cheats when he cooks the spaghetti and instead adds some vinegar, clove, and sugar to the sauce (NOT the way I like it, though!).

I think it is someone who works on a wharf unloading ships comparable to our longshoreman which forms part of the popular simile at least in the US, Swearing like a longshoreman, or the less direct, using language that would make a longshoreman blush. But the more interesting question is whether your tomato sauce is our ketchup? Devon To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat y...@address.here.
