I've always been a Heinz fan, I've tried numerous others and rejected them all until I tried marks and spencers. It's much richer and tomatoey and a fraction of the price of Heinz.

So what's your ketchup brand?

A Heinz fundamentalist! Death to Crosse and Blackwell and their runny concoctions!

Until recently I was a Heinz man, but I've discovered the Lidl ketchup. More tomato flavour and the same sweet and sour balance. At less than half the price a real winner.

Usually Heinz it what we use, but my wife recently got Asda own ketchup which surprisingly was rather nice.

Sainsburys Tomato Ketchup is rather good.

I boycott all Heinz products after they closed the H.P. Sauce factory in Birmingham years ago.

I'm not all that bothered about ketchup. It's not like I eat it with a spoon. I just like a little of it to compliment a burger, hotdog or a squirt into a sauce.

I think i've just got the asda value ketchup in at the moment. I often cut it with other sauces also such as mayo, garlic mayo, bbq sauce or hp sauce.

I used to swear by Heinz, but I'm sure it's runnier these days (plus I didn't realise they have a different recipe for sachets and bottles).

Like the above poster I go with Lidl's now, more tomato-y and lovely flavour (good and thick too)

I've always been a Heinz girl but would be very interested in trying the M&S stuff. Aldi does nice ketchup also.

Normally Sainsburys own, it is as good as any other and better than others.

I tend to avoid Heinz these days

Heinz but Sainsbury's own make is very close in quality. Best of the supermarket own brands.

I always had Heinz because of taste and thickness, But more importantly it is made from real tomatoes, i think i am correct in thinking the only one that is... and toms had been proven good for the prostrate . so are heinz beans sauce made from toms,, so more toms the better..
Can you find any-other ketchup just as good for you.

I'm a bit of a ketchup whore. I don't really mind whose I buy.
I won't buy Heinz due to cost and will avoid the basics or value range - not because I know they're awful, simply because I imagine they will be.
As it is, I'll buy the next level up, the supermarket own brand. Although I've tried Morrisons own brand and found it truly dire.
I work for M&S and have never actually bought ours - after the earlier recommendation I may have to get some.
Currently got Branston ketchup on the go and it's pretty good. It was on offer.

Wrong, other ketchups do actually use real tomatoes aswell as Heinz. Also, the amount of ketchup you' would need to consume to make it beneficial would be ludicrous, why not try eating actual tomatoes if this is the purpose for eating beans and ketchup? They don't have added sugar or salt either.

In our house we usually buy Heinz but my mum's the only one who eats it, nobody else can stand it. I always hated the stuff even as a kid. I had a friend once who used to like eating chips and she'd put a load of ketchup on the plate and dip the chips into it Was revolting really.

Heinz is certainly not the only ketchup made from "real" tomatoes. Most of them are.

Hate to point it out to you, but that is quite a common use for ketchup that's like saying, I once had a friend who got a slice of bread and put it in the toaster!

Always Heinz, bought Daddies and didn't like it, it's still in my cupboard.

I once ran out of Heinz and went corner shop and bought a Happy Shopper one, it was lovely. But Happy Shopper is no more.

I don't like ketchup but the other Mr Malpasc says that Heinz is by far the best. He usually gets the organic version.

I am more of a brown or fruity sauce person. I particularly like Sainsbury's own Fruity Sauce.

Aldi, I think its bramwell or something. Pretty good balance between sweet/sour and good consistancy and half the price of heinz.

Also did get heinz premium one recently from discount shop (I guess they don't do it any more). it was REALLY thick and that was OK.

We make a very quick and easy dip with ketchup, garlic, corriander, chilli powder and salt. Prefer that to plain ketchup.
