Another Victim of the High Fructose Corn Syrup Backlash | Endless Simmer

What can I say, even a girl that’s tasked to write about food on a daily basis needs a pizza and fries kind of night. And so we ordered alarge cheese and crispy potatoeson the side. This would have been an uneventful meal save for the use of new ketchup.

It looks like Heinz hasfallen to the sword of real sugarand came out with a no-high fructose corn syrup rendition of their tomato spread. Last Target trip, my boyfriend picked up“Simply Heinz” and promptly ditched its chemical predecessor, therefore crippling our chances for a quick blind taste test.

Now, I totally fucking hate ketchup. (Viva la Mustard!) And, frankly, I’m not even sure ifhomemade stuffcould persuade me otherwise. But I saved one fry from a dip into a spicy mustard for a taste of the newly enhanced, newly natural ketchup. To me, it still tasted like ketchup. I’m still baffled why people want this weird sweet liquid crap on their fries, or anything. Why is it so sweet? Why!

Anyway, 80, an official ambassador for ketchup, liked the new product:

A little bit different. Less sweet. Lighter. Tastes like ketchup I had in England years ago. I probably could tell the difference in a taste test.

So for now, we’ll have to take his word on the difference. But I did steal a packet that they sent with the fries. Testing for another day. In the mean time, feel free to read somebrain washing by the Corn Refiners Association.
