Ketchup vs tomato sauce vs BBQ sauce
In Australia, ketchup and tomato sauce mean much the same thing: a smooth, sweet-sour tomato condiment. BBQ sauce is usually darker and smokier, with molasses, spices and sometimes chilli, and is made for basting as well as dipping. If you want a sauce to brush on ribs, see our BBQ sauces.
What is banana ketchup?
Banana ketchup is a Filipino condiment made from bananas, vinegar, sugar and spices. It's sweet, tangy and fruity, and goes well with fried chicken and pork. Fancy Hanks makes one in Melbourne; see the banana page.
More for the table: sauces, mustard, relish and mayo. Brand pages: Fancy Hanks and Uncle Mungos.
