Tomato Ketchup

Mater started buying Lidl's own after being informed via word of mouth. £1.20 cheaper and just as good if not better than Heinz! My daughter is the ketchup fan and she likes it just fine. If it wasn't up to snuff, she'd kick up rough.
 
Well it was inevitable this thread I suppose.
I'm not really much of a ketchup fan, but we went out for tea tonight and I chose Fish & Beer Battered Chips on purpose, because it was the one dish I religiously put ketchup on. In our house we always buy Heinz - or at least did, I sense a possible Tiptree epiphany coming.
Any thoughts or suggestions from ketchup officionadoes?
That's funny, because being an American, fish and chips is the one dish I put vinegar on. Ketchup the rest of the time. Unless there's ranch dressing available.
 
Love good ol' Heinz, have tommy k with everything from chips, to sausages to rice to pasta to Sunday roasts!! Don't know what brand the local chippy tommy k is but I slap it on and think no better!
 
Just a quick word for:

Been enjoying this in my Saturday morning sausage sandwich (with Colemans English mustard). It's dark, rich, tangy, and made in the UK

Stokes is certainly very high quality but I really don't care for it as a ketchup. I found it far too rich and cloying for chip dipping but perhaps great as a passata, needs more sugar and vinegar .

Lidl own brand is half price this weekend at just 29p a bottle (plastic squeezy one that is)
 
I'm not really a big fan of tomato ketchup itself, therefore I like to mix it with other sauces (mayonnaise for instance). Usually, I used to eat Heinz, but there was nothing to write home about. The other day tough, I picked a jar of Bramwells at Aldi and was really pleasantly surprised; so much in fact that I googled it to know a little more about the product.

It scored the best mark in this critic:

The Bramwells mayonnaise is good too, as well as Lidl's. I suspect that Lidl and Aldi have the same supplier, the recipe or some dosage in the ingredients might vary a bit, but some of their products are very very close.
