    The first is well known, the second was a revelation ;)

    The sweetness can be handy in balancing out dishes, eg chilli paneer. It can also be used in Chinese special fried rice but I will usually pair it with other flavours.

    I use it in homemade bar-b-que sauce.
    Overprepare, then go with the flow.

    I use it if making chilli and I don't have any tomatoes to hand, it does add sweetness to the dish but that's OK :)

    I use it as a base for making indian meal style onion chutney/spiced onions. Delish!

    Hard to imagine a conversation that went "dog's rolled in some poo. Hey! Let's cover him in tomato ketchup". :D

    Maybe they just worked through the kitchen cupboard until they settled on ketchup....

    Pasta n sauce... nope
    Self raising flour... nope
    Fray bentos pie.., nope
    Baked beans..... Not quite
    Ketchup...... bingo!
