It’s a local variation. Have you recently moved? I never heard it called ketchup until I went to uni.

DS says ‘ketchop’ drives me mad

SavoyCabbage · 12/01/2018 21:33

I say ‘tomato sauce’.

I’ve never heard it called red sauce. I’d think that was ‘monkey’s blood’ strawberry ice-cream sauce.

BigBairyHollocks · 12/01/2018 21:33

It's red sauce in Officers' Messes.

But in a tongue in cheek sort of way, these days

CherryChasingDotMuncher · 12/01/2018 21:38

DH calls it red sauce. That makes me stabby

TellMeItsNotTrue · 12/01/2018 21:38

Ketchup is so WRONG!!

We say tomato sauce, but I would also accept red sauce because at least it is correct (it is red, and it is sauce) ketchup just sounds American
