Heinz introduces pickle-flavored ketchup

[Huskee]

I recently tried Frank's dill pickle flavored hot sauce and my family loves it. I'm definitely in for this one!

I'd probably like that. Their Heinz Simply is definitely a notch above any other ketchup I've tried. Not as sweet and you can taste tomatoes and vinegar.

I'll have to look for this. That said, I bought two bottles of that Frank's online last year, but have yet to actually see it for sale in a local store. I went through that pretty quickly just by myself - those were small bottles for my level of hot sauce usage!

[Huskee]

Yeah I keep watching for the large bottle to hit the shelves. It's awesome in a can of tuna or canned chicken for quick sandwich.

[jfmorris]

Huskee I don't think they've made a larger size. Online all I still see is the 2 pack of 5 oz bottles... I would buy a gallon jug of this stuff if I could! I used to buy the regular Frank's in gallon or half gallon jugs at Sam's before they stopped carrying it in that size.

So relish-flavored ketchup?

[Huskee]

No, relish is diced pickles, this tastes like whole pickles.

[captainlee]

Not a pickle eater because of the high salt content but I would give this a try. Not sure if I would like it because I don't have a taste for pickles but I'll try.

I guess I’m not in the marketing demographic because I wonder why not just put some pickles on beside the ketchup? 🤔

[Jfrosty27]

That’s what I was thinking.

[Huskee]

Right, but for the folks who don't have pickles, or ran out but forgot they ran out, or don't want the mess of relish on their brat, well, here's a solution for those who like this solution.

[Donw]

I understand but if you decide to buy pickles you won’t have a place to put your pickles because the space will be taken up by this ketchup. And, do I still need the other bottle of ketchup for things like french fries? And now where does the mustard and mayonnaise jars go now? It is a vicious circle.🙂

[Attjack]

I would try it because I like pickles better than ketchup.

[Willy]

I dunno...I like pickle chips on my burgers. Pickle relish is a no-no for me on dogs or burgers. The texture of the pickle chips is key. I'll probably try this pickle flavored catsup, but I'm not optimistic about a second purchase.

[DavidNorcross]

I just dont know. I doubt I would buy this..

[Clawbear57]

I'll wait to try it at someone's house.

[FireMan]

Wonder if it has HFCS as a main ingredient. Then again I don’t give a rip about cat soup. I have a bottle that has been in my fridge for over 3 years.

[jfmorris]

I’ve been buying some Hunts cat soup that is made with cane sugar instead of HFCS. About the only time I use it is for hamburgers or French fries, which isn’t often this time of year. It makes a good bbq sauce base….

[Santamarina]

We use Heinz Simply. Ingredients: tomato concentrate from red ripe tomatoes, distilled vinegar, cane sugar, salt, onion powder, spice, natural flavoring.

That last one is a little sus, but no HFCS or artificial sweeteners. I’m not a ketchup guy, but this one is t too bad because it’s not as sweet.
