They were told how to make ketchup and told about natural/sugarless ketchups you can order online the last time ketchup chat happened. I think you're getting someone else confused with me, I can say I'm fully aware of how to make ketchup, I just don't like it.

Manager Hoyden posted:Nope, Heinz "no sugar added" has sucralose in it. It's a weasel term, kind of like how store-bought orange juice is sweetened out the rear end. Just import Felix brand ketchup from Sweden, their unsweetened ketchup is unsweetened, not "no added sugar". Or just move to Sweden in general: it is illegal to sell sweetened "juice" here. If you call it juice, it gotta be all fruit.

Mayonnaise, sambal oelek, and lemon usually but the sauce at Vleminckx has mace and caraway in it as well. Knoflook (toum) is better. Also that place is the only thing I actively remember about my trip to Amsterdam anymore. It's really really really good. fizzymercury has a new favorite as of 13:05 on Mar 5, 2021 |

It's literally a part of the space station. This is all especially egregious because it's set in loving space. Having the AI that runs things like life support being a feisty opinionated child that holds grudges and lies and poo poo is, as the bad guys say, a massive liability that absolutely should be corrected by any and all means at the first opportunity.

I know, but for the most part I don't listen to people just talking except for the news. I can't do stuff and pay attention to them and I don't like sitting still and just listening to stuff usually. I read the transcripts though. That's fun for me.

I don't know if the US is exceptional in this regard but most of the juice you buy in the store is sweetened, flavored, and colored even if it says 100% juice on the bottle. They have several ingredients added but due to labeling law loopholes they don't need to be listed. This is because the sweetener, dye, thickener, etc. they use is derived completely from the fruit. And no I cannot buy ketchup that is unsweetened. The closest I've ever gotten is stupid raw diet gimmick ketchup that was still sweetened with balsamic vinegar. I also get pissy about not being able to find sriracha with the huy fong flavor profile that is not sweet but I have to settle for putting sambal through the blender like an idiot.

You have to make your own. You're right. It doesn't exist what you're asking for. I get it. I want the same thing. I'm really sorry. It does actually suck not to get what you want when it should be easy.

Woe unto those who live in a land bereft of Simply Orange (a juice brand found in literally every grocery store in the tristate area I live in). My favorite thing about the ketchup/juice people is that they complain when fruits taste slightly sweet, and blame that on bourgeois American excess.

Which is that it's disgusting and most ketchup sold in the us is loaded with corn syrup. I'm well aware that tomatoes have sugar, and also aware that even homemade ketchup is disgusting because why would I be paring a sweet sauce with any savory item.
