Years ago A&W drive-ins featured a Pizzaburger.
They were delicious. Would that qualify?

I put it over ciabatta bread, add some mozzarella slices and let it melt
under the oven broiler, that makes a kind of bruschetta which becomes
perfect with the addition of some oregano, salt and EVO oil, then one can
add or subtract, the list is almost endless: anchovies, hot peppers, lard
d'arnad (aged lard) which I brougth home from Valle D'Aosta, capers, aged
ham, olives...

No. I only use catsup when I make a barbecue sauce.

"Healthier"? What makes you think so? And spaghetti sauce is already a
condiment.


Ketchup and tomato sauce are two entirely different entities. Use them
as you like, according to your tastes, but remember that they are not
meant to be interchangeable.

You can always upgrade spaghetti sauce to pesto at any time.

I do it all the time.

Yes, I also wonder what's unhealthy about ketchup, apart from corn syrup
worry warts.

There was a Swiss fellah who was fresh off the boat. He was **** in a
haid and said that people in Canada used ketchup and called it tomato
sauce; sauce for pasta. Well, I've lived here for 57 years, and I've
yet to see someone dump ketchup on their pasta; ketchup instead of a
decent sauce.

I've tried it but a bottle of ketchup lasts a long time in our house.
After a few days it no longer smelled fresh so I trashed it. The
preservatives in ketchup sound like a bad thing but a bottle of ketchup
lasts a long time because of them.

Yes the corn syrup for one thing. I think spaghetti sauce has more tomato
content? Just tastes better to me. Maybe not that much healthier, but I
thought I heard someone say that on public radio. Plus tomato sauce has
different variations, but ketchup is always just catsup.

That reminds me, when I worked in a JC Penney restaurant in the early 80s
they would pour bottles that were low into other bottles to make a full one.
That seems like a bad thing to do over the long term. My mother said never
combine old and new anything... Just how long does catsup last? I
refrigerate mine (taste better to me cold) but restaurants just leave them
out on the tables all the time.
