Ketchup Queen...

I am the ketchup Queen, ask any of my friends or family and they will tell you that I go through a bottle a week.  

I even applied to go on 'come dine with me' and had a whole ketchup inspired menu ready to cook for my guests. Surprisingly, they didn't go for it. My entertainment was going to be a dance to the ketchup song, who wouldn't want to see that?! 

That £1000 was mine, they just couldn't stand that it would be the most epic episode ever and feared the whole of channel 4 would collapse. 

Anyway, I'm over that now, but I recently realised that my ketchup habit was costing me a pretty pound, so I decided to try supermarket own brand ketchup.

If you are a devoted ketchup fan- such as myself, you may recoil in horror, however times are tough and we are all making cut backs where we can. 

This is Asda's own 36p ketchup...

And I have to say, it is actually rather tasty. Chuck it in a branded bottle and no one would be any the wiser (like those people who scoff at sparkling wine, but hand them a glass and tell them it's champagne and it's 'divine darling!') 

So, if you are pinching the pennies (to save up for sparkling wine) try your local supermarkets own brand products- you might just be surprised. 

Now, where is my champagne glass so I can pour in my Lambrini?
