Ketchup

Ketchup is one of the most widely used condiments in the world, made primarily from tomatoes, vinegar, sugar and spices. It has a thick consistency, a sweet-tangy flavour and a distinctive red colour. It is used as a dipping sauce for chips, burgers, hot dogs and grilled meats, as well as an ingredient in marinades, sauces, soups and various dishes. Commercially produced ketchup contains preservatives and stabilisers, while homemade versions are made purely from fresh ingredients.
