what is the difference between sause and ketchup?

Answer 1

In cooking, a sauce is liquid or sometimes semi-solid food served on or used in preparing other foods. Sauces are not consumed by themselves; they add flavor, moisture, and visual appeal to another dish. Sauce is a French word taken from the Latin salsus, meaning salted. Sauces need a liquid component, but with dishes such as pasta can contain more solid elements than liquid.

Sauces may be prepared sauces, such as soy sauce, which are usually bought, not made, by the cook; or cooked sauces, such as Béchamel sauce, which are generally made just before serving. Sauces for salads are called salad dressing. Another variation is the pan sauce; this is made by adding an aromatic (such as chopped shallot) to a pan that has previously cooked meat, which has left hardened juices (called the fond) in the pan. After the aromatic has softened, a liquid (such as stock, wine, or water) is added to melt the fond in the bottom of the pan (a process called deglazing). Butter can than be added to this to make a quick sauce.

Ketchup (or less commonly catsup) also known as Red Sauce or Tomato Sauce is a condiment, usually made with ripened tomatoes. The basic ingredients in modern ketchup are tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, salt, allspice, cloves, and cinnamon. Onions, celery, and other vegetables are frequent additions.

Ketchup started out as a general term for sauce, typically made of mushrooms or fish brine with herbs and spices. Mushroom ketchup is still available in some countries, such as the UK. Some popular early main ingredients include blueberry, anchovy, oyster, lobster, walnut, kidney bean, cucumber, cranberry, lemon, celery and grape.

Answer 2

I suspect you mean tomato sauce and ketchup. Look at the ingredients label. Most tomato sauce has tomatoes and little salt. Maybe a bit of preservative.

Ketchup brands vary but most add sugar or high fructose corn syrup besides the salt. Also a bit of vinegar and an even larger amount of preservatives. That way it can sit in your refrigerator for 6 months after you opened it. Yuck!

If you have a choice between the two in a recipe, go with the sauce.
