Okay, so, the other night I had a dream where I got something from a hot dog stand and they had condiment bottles available for customers to grab and use freely. I grabbed ketchup and, I kid you not, I could legitimately taste it. It was really sweet and had essentially no acidic taste whatsoever. I absolutely NEED to find ketchup like it to consume in the waking world!
I am in the US (specifically Texas), and I do NOT have access to Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, or any other “fancy” grocery stores. I have Walmart and Brookshires. If I go to a town like 15 miles away, there’s a Super 1 Foods, but that’s it. Nearest Target and Kroger are an hour away. So, if it’s something exclusive to any store other than Walmart or Brookshires, it’s not an option for me.
I don’t care about additives or “the chemicals/sugar/etc”, I don’t care about things being organic or non-GMO or whatever, none of that BS. I do enjoy Heinz regular ketchup, and Great Value ketchup is also good, but they aren’t even close to what I’m looking for.
Once again, what I’m looking for is very sweet, it’s got the perfect smooth (almost silky actually) texture, and there’s little to no acidic taste/bite to it, but it’s still clearly ketchup in taste. So hit me with your best suggestions that fit my criteria!
