M and S. Heinz tastes like metal to me.

HarrietSchulenberg · 31/07/2026 22:37

Batts (Lidl) or M&S.
Heinz is rank, utterly disgusting stuff, as are their baked beans.

Tiptree brand for me. It seems to have the least ingredients out of many. It’s also made local to me though so I’m a bit biased as they have a lovely tea room.

Branston do ketchup??😲

RedRosie · 31/07/2026 23:09

Stokes. Always.

Sashimiandhisthunderpaws · 31/07/2026 23:18

Morrison's best tomato ketchup is a good substitute for Stokes.

Find Heinz is so sweet and runny might as well buy the cheap own brands. Also buy home brand mayo.

Branston best baked beans.

LadyBeatriceBeaHiggins · 31/07/2026 23:28

Branston

corblimeymlud · 31/07/2026 23:39

Heinz. I tasted the M and S - horrible. I like Stokes though too.

UnintentionallyFabulous · 31/07/2026 23:47

I can’t stand the smell of ketchup, so I’ve never actually tried any but I buy Heinz for those who like it.

Aldi own brand. I think it's called Bramwells

Yes agree.

IAmARayOfSunshine · 31/07/2026 23:55

Tesco’s own reduced salt and sugar. Heinz is too sweet.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 31/07/2026 23:59

DS is the ketchup fiend here "D'you want some food with that sauce DS?"

Heinz original ( not low salt/low sugar/organic )
Or Aldi one again original (shite lids though they break . I have to keep the old one spare )

M&S. The full fat one is proper grown up stuff, really tangy, unlike the syrup heinz one. The reduced sugar one is also tasty and less prone to separating and leaking everywhere when DS2 leaves it out of the fridge.

Mutti Classic...if I want proper adult ketchup

PeonyBulb · 01/08/2026 01:33

Heinz ketchup, hellmans mayo and Heinz beans. I’ll eat other beans but only Heinz taste the best for me.

ShetlandishMum · 01/08/2026 02:45

Heinz Ketchup because it is gluten-free.

Tiredmumno1 · 01/08/2026 02:55

Heinz ketchup, Heinz salad cream and hellmans mayo all the way

MeAndMyGhost · 01/08/2026 04:52

Tiptree is my absolute favourite.

DinoLil · 01/08/2026 04:57

Heinz!!

CatInTheRhombus · 01/08/2026 06:46

Previously it was always Heinz, but I actually find the Aldi basic ketchup is pretty decent. We eat more mayo, so we aren’t ketchup snobs anymore.

Chubbychubber · 01/08/2026 06:49

Daddies Tommy K is the best

Pancakeflipper · 01/08/2026 06:52
