Ever notice there is no flavored ketchup? Sure, there used to be Heinz Kick'rs, but that was a short-lived venture (although you can still score the Hot & Spicy
). I regularly mix my own flavored ketchup using Heinz as a base, but when I want to go the easy store-bought route, I turn to Heinz Chili Sauce.FLAVOR - Sharp vinegar, followed by ketchup/tomato, and finished off with a unique horseradish-like essence
CONSISTENCY - Fairly thick, with whole nuggets of onion and tomato
APPEARANCE - Ketchup red with pepper seeds and small tomato slivers
SMELL - Robust, tangy vinegar and tomatoes, very subtle suggestion of onion
AVAILABILITY - Readily available
INGREDIENTS - Tomato puree (tomato paste, water), distilled white vinegar, HFCS, salt, corn syrup, dehydrated onions, spice, garlic powder, natural flavoring
I would have bet a gallon of Mary's that Heinz Chili Sauce had horseradish in it; apparently, I'd have been wrong. This sauce is amazing on anything you would otherwise be putting ketchup on...which I realize is probably everything
. It's also the key ingredient in a wide variety of appetizers, ranging from cocktail meatballs to bacon wrapped water chestnuts. The "chili" is kind of a misnomer, since there is zero heat, but we're not complaining.
