I call "red sauce" ketchup but, ever since I found out that brown sauce is made from apples, I call that apple sauce!.

It confuses people to HELL when I ask for apple sauce on my fry up!.

I only find it funny because I'm a bit of a self-confessed dork!.

brown sauce is brown, and it has brown sauce in it, actually, what is in brown sauce!? i know tomartos are in ketchup!?!? and ketchup is a brand name, some supermarkets sell their own brands as 'tomarto sauce' heinz uses the branc name 'ketchup' (which when you think abotu it is a pretty wierd name) they must have just run out ideas for names when they came up with 'brown sauce' which is still a brand name but not as abstract as the word 'ketchup'Www@FoodAQ@Com

Red sauce is not ketchup- red sauce as I always understood it is what I would call marinara- right!? tomatoes, garlic, basil and onions all cooked together to make a nice sauce for meats or pasta!? Ketchup is not a sauce, it is a CONDIMENT!. It has sweeteners added and tastes nothing like marinara!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

"the first part of the word, "ket", in Cantonese Chinese means tomato and the second part, "chup", means sauce or juice"

So basically it's a foreign word meaning tomato sauce ;) I agree though it is a nicer name

^^ and actually there is brown and BBQ so shhhhh :PWww@FoodAQ@Com

In the UK, it depends which part of the country you're in!. In the South East, it will always be called ketchup!.
