Ketchup is a great ingredient in a lot of sauces. Home made ones are so much better, I just wish I could be arsed more.

Ah, apologies... good man.Originally Posted by randomlegend
Your real concern is the salt and sugar, which is fine. But the taste is clearly superior to tomato ketchup. I'd reckon ketchup has at least as much of both per whatever measurement you choose.
This is the thing. I got a blender not long ago and envisaged making many a tomato based sauace. Then you reralise you have to fuck around taking the skins off a million tomatoes and think better of it. Anbd whoever said it's cheaper - it isn't, really. Depending on what sauce you get.
Tinned tomatoes or passata. Fuck peeling the real ones.
If you get the Dolmio and fucking Loyd Grossman pieces of shit in the supermarket you shouldn't be allowed to eat. Passata is the one.
There's a trick to it - cook them up then chuck them in really cold water and they should come off pretty quickly.
Tomato Ketchup (Mushroom Ketchup is where it's at incidentally) is basically made of vinegar and red, doesn't mean you can't use it to flavour dishes though.
That's not from scratch then, is it.
What the fuck are you on about...
* garlic
* basil
* oregano
* thyme
* chopped tomatoes
* 1 squirt of ketchup
* diced onions
* diced carrot
* salt and pepper
* splash of red wine
= homemade bolognese sauce
This is by far healthier than a pre-bought sauce.
What a fucking nobhead you are.
Proper snobby shit. Once mixed with beef mince you barely notice the difference.
What?
Though it's probably my own fault for saying tinned as opposed to 'real'. Poor phrasing. What do you think the ones in the tins are? Are carrots not real carrots if they're in a bag?
Yes, like I said you're more bothered about the healthy side of it. You get all that stuff in bottled sauces, apart from ketchup. So if, like me, you're not constantly fretting about the calories then it's just fine. Homemade stuff does taste better (which is why I have 2 roasts a week) it's just all the fucking about.

It depends. Many tinned tomatoes have all that added sugar and preservatives and shit that people don't like in sauces. Carrots in a bag have not been processed in the same way.
People peel tomatoes?
Someone must do.
How the fuck did this thread become an argument about bolognase sauce.
How ironic that, in a thread about weed, we don't know how we got onto this subject.
As for the cost side of things, removing the indulgent red wine from Quincy's recipe and with quite conservative estimates of cost:
So maybe if you buy Tesco own brand or whatever they have in Aldi it isn't, but home made is definitely cheaper than Dolmio etc in my eyes.
That's ignoring the fact you still tend to add onions and carrots to make stuff out of a jar.
True, but there's many brands out there that are just tomatoes. Normally the shit ones go in cans of chopped so buy tinned plum if you're blending anyway.
I'm happy to be snobby about you.
It's not me you're being snobby about.
Eating bolognese sauce gives me bad anxiety!
1 gram costs £20+ here, and getting caught can get the death penalty. It makes it that bit more exciting.
Are you in Singapore? Might as well just do opium while you're there, you're not risking anything extra.
Anyone who genuinely takes drugs in countries that administer the death penalty need their head checking.
If they were good enough to risk the death penalty for then I'd definitely want someone to check on me afterwards.
