Found at 7-11, combo ketchup/mustard blister pack that when you simply bend and squeeze together, ketchup and mustard come out evenly for your corn-dog and no mess for your fingers.

Those little squeeze packets are an Aussie invention, I believe!

We take our tomato sauce seriously here!

You have tomato sauce packets? It's funny to think of ketchup as tomato sauce, in the US if you called it that everyone would be confused even though it is really the most accurate thing you could call it

Is it though? There are other things people refer to as tomato sauce and that could be confusing. As an Italian living in Australia i cringe every time someone refers to ketchup as tomato sauce. Tomato sauce should be a beautiful thing that goes in pasta, lasagne and all gorgeous food stuff. Ideally home made.

The vinegary shit that drunk people here put on their meat pie (that BTW would taste beautifully as they comes out of the oven, no need to put any nasty shit on it) - it's called ketchup and you just ruined that beautiful pie.

Ketchup is gazpacho

[–] coaxil@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

We do no indeed! What do you guys call tomato sauce?

[–] tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

We would call the sauce for burgers, fries etc ketchup, 'tomato sauce' in the US would be the sort for pasta, like marinara. If you asked for tomato sauce for a burger people would be very confused lol.

[–] coaxil@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Ah right right, haha that's cool!

[–] nickiam2@aussie.zone 1 points 10 months ago

I've never seen one with 2 different sauces tho. Such a good idea

And the 7/11 corn dog is better than any I’ve eaten in the US.
