Hi British person here. I guess I could see calling it tomato sauce? Because we don't have the US style 'tomato sauce' that's basically just pureed tomatoes in a can. The squeezy bottle in my fridge definitely says 'ketchup' on it though and I think that's the more common term.

In Australia we don't have the USA 'tomato sauce' for cooking. We call it the Italian names of "passata" for pureed tomatoes, and "sugo" for cooked down and flavoured tomatoes (sugo al pomodoro).
It kind of left the term tomato sauce open, so we called ketchup 'tomato sauce' just like we could have bbq sauce, chilli sauce etc.

If you buy heinz brand here it is labelled ketchup, but if you buy what used to be an Australian brand (masterfoods, fountain, rosella), it's labelled tomato sauce.
I grew up with rosella* brand tomato sauce and even if I'm using heinz labelled ketchup, it's tomato sauce to me as I know what passata and sugo is.

*e: You could probably put the whole misunderstanding on them. Rosella was huge here at one time http://www.rosella.com.au/about/ They called ketchup 'tomato sauce' and every other australian company since has followed.

I've never heard anyone use these terms. Mostly people call sauces made from tomatoes (eg. on a pizza or pasta) "tomato sauce". It's usually pretty clear from context whether they mean ketchup or something else.

Shows up on every recipe I've got, try searching some proper recipes. Otherwise it's pizza sauce or tomato pasta sauce. Ie, not tomato sauce on the pizza, just pizza sauce, likewise for pasta sauce.

I said I've never heard it, not that the term doesn't exist. If someone said to me they were making "sugo" I would have no idea what they were talking about because that is not a term anyone I know uses. It may be the "correct" word for it, but that doesn't mean people actually use it in everyday conversation.

And yes, often you'd say "pasta sauce" or "pizza sauce" or whatever, but I was thinking more along the lines of if you're telling someone what you're making for dinner you'd say "pasta with tomato sauce" not "pasta with pasta sauce".

Are we getting regional variations again? I'm used to tomato paste as the broad pizza/pasta sauce base, with ketchup called tomato sauce.

I've heard "red sauce" coming from England, I understand that's similar?

Tomato paste is just, well, tomato paste. It's not a sauce by itself (although obviously you can use it as one if you want, no one can stop you).

Red sauce is tomato sauce is ketchup. Though as someone else pointed out, 'tomato sauce' can also mean the stuff you put on pasta. Tomato purée comes in tubes or small cans, passata comes in jars or cartons, and then we have the usual chopped/peeled tomatoes in tins. Those are the standard processed tomato forms in England.

I'm not cooking anymore.
I just opened a can of king oscar mackerel fillets in olive oil, poured all the oil over toast, and chucked on sliced tomato and pepper. It was an oily mess but needed to stretch out the flavour on 4 pieces of toast and not enough mackerel flesh to do that otherwise.
Next time though I'll try emulisfy the oil with some garlic, mustard and lemon juice (from the bottle these days naturally).

I went to fry some rice, celery and carrot last night. The ex had taken all the oil so I did it in anchovy oil from the empty jar left on the counter.
I went sardine shopping just then. I went to a specific shop that advertised brunswick for $1. They didn't have any left so I bought the woolworths one to compare to KO ($2.70-3.20), brunswick ($1.70-2.20), john west($2-2.50), black and gold($1.10) and safcol ($1.50). It's the last brand I want to try before I start buying boxes in bulk
They also had more sole mare brand mackerel half price $1.50

Confession: I tried to do a microwave cookie yesterday. Those are sketchy even if executed faithfully. I made an off-the-cuff substitution because I couldn't be bothered to crack an egg.

It turned out mushy and unevenly too hot, but I ate every sludgy bit with a scoop of vanilla ice cream because I am a sweet tooth fatty.

I baked real cookies two days ago but left them at work :negative:

All of those microwaved cakes/brownies look like they turn out well, but I haven’t tried any recipes yet.

In other news, I’ve been microwaving potatoes so they’re mostly cooked, and then dumping them in soups to be blended. Seems to work just as good as actually boiling potatoes and saves a ton of time :shrug:

Back in high school before I knew how to cook, I would make microwave cakes sometimes. I forgot what I did to them to make them tolerable - an extra egg maybe? - but they weren't the absolute worst. Pretty bad, though.

I will absolutely eat a bowl of cereal for dinner if I'm completely knocked out from work. Yes, I have frozen tamales, bao, gyoza, and a bunch of other things, but they take longer than 30 seconds to prepare.

Breakfast food is appropriate at any time of day IMO so there's nothing to be ashamed of here.

My tired-as-gently caress food is frozen grocery store-brand meatballs. If I don't know what else to make I'll chop some of them in half and fry them up with any leftover veggies we have. If I'm really tired I'll just microwave them and eat them plain.
