I buy supermarket own brand baked beans, no salt/no added sugar. And now I find Heinz a bit "stodgy". When on the cheap, they can be picked up in packs of 4 for £1.25. Tesco and Asda do them.... I've no idea about Sainsburys.

I wish supermarkets would have constant, ongoing tasting sessions on everything.... thousands of products .. that you can't buy as it'd be a waste of money if you didn't like them

In late the 1970s I tried a Homepride tin of some sauce or other - hated it. Now I stare at the rows and rows of such sauces in bottles and cans and wonder if, somewhere in there, there's actually now a decent one.

Anybody else watching this Phil Spencer programme about Emtpty Properties and homelessness on More4? I've just randomly found it.

I'm technically homeless - and have probably counted as such for nearly 3 years now. But I'm "doing OK" homeless.

Hmm. I am horrified to the point of gagging at ketchup o eggs or breakfast. Other than a bacon sandwich.

I like ketchup on a burger but cannot think what else. Maybe a hotdog. Ketchup is mainly used a an ingrediant here...i use a teaspoon in pasta sauce when dh isn't looking, and in a couple of other things.

I'd use ketchup on chips and burgers mostly. I might have a small blob of it on a plate if I had fish fingers, mash and peas... or a splash on a cooked breakfast maybe. If I've got a bottle, then I might randomly chuck a bit of it into a chilli or a soup or a stir-fry.

If I've just got a slice of hot fritata I might add a dash to the edge of the plate, if I've nothing else better in the cupboard.

I tend to have brown sauce on macaroni cheese.

No to ketchup.

Brown sauce for me!

The absence of it in America astonished me. As does its absence in fast food chains .

I love ketchup.

I read somewhere that it is healthier than raw tomatos.
