It's VERY different.
Might just be the first flush of a new love but I prefer it to the real thing. Though there's space in my life for both

I've decided that's too much effort these days, so I send the butler.

Bit poncey this thread, innit.
Where's [MENTION=534]Chicken Run[/MENTION] when you need him to post a picture of Tesco's Value Ketchup? You people who enjoy eating tasty things are weird.
With all the new barbecue stuff I've acquired, I've taken to making my own sauces - a lot (rather than 'alot' - a word which doesn't exist), using something like Tesco Value Ketchup as a base.

Funny you should say that, cos BONO also likes that sauce....
...he said it's even better than the real thing...
Imagine if I replaced the word "sauces" with "beers" and the words "Tesco Value Ketchup" with "Skol". Do you know anyone who'd drink them?

You don't think I have the Tesco Value Ketchup in its raw state, do you? I ain't no fackin' Charlatan, my good man...
In the same way I combine 'Skol' with other drain cleaners - for improved performance, you see.

When it comes to sauce, you need Salad Cream, Ketchup and HP. With Coleman’s mustard, a good tartare, mint sauce (never jelly), horseradish and Branson pickle also in the squad. Everything else can do one from the pantry. All these hot chilli malarkey’s with their ‘comic’, not so original sweary / ‘hard’ names in an effort to get idiots with no tastebuds to buy are purely disposable and an affront to recycling efforts frankly.
Keep it simple. Keep it British (mostly). Keep it tasty. We conquered the world with such sauces. No need for all these shouty imposters spoiling a good luncheon.

Pretty fair assessment and that's coming from someone who admittedly gave Dave's Insanity Sauce a go ( see earlier in this thread). Bottom line is that few of these sauces have any actual pleasant flavour and are just exist on the basis of ' look how hard I am '. I understand that some people do almost get addicted to chili heat but not to the extent that it's unpleasant and your ring is on fire next day.
That said can anyone suggest a nice chili jam? Not silly hot and with some sweetness. Best I've found so far is Tracklements.

I like Linghams range, they probably do a nice one. Import brands probably better than UK efforts, especially the ‘hothouse’ brigade efforts. Sure someone can recommend but yes, Tracklements are a good manufacturer.

I've never seen the point of these INSANELY eye-wateringly hot sauces that some people drown their food in. You could be eating an array of fagbutts and used chewing gum if its smothered in "Texan Yee-Haw x10 strength Pure Hagman" and not realise it, so whats the point if you can't even taste what you're eating ? I've seen people put habenero sauce on LOBSTER ffs. I mean come on.
Tesco did a particularly delicious medium strength chilli buffalo wing sauce that I forget the name of, which was naturally discontinued, as is the way with most things I really like (see also lamb & mint Brannigans). But I'm a big fan of mixing and experimenting. Celery is the most boring veg in the world - BUT...grate some danish blue cheese into a bowl, mix with mayo, lemon juice, paprika and a dash of worcester sauce, and then dip with some salty celery, and you will have an orgasm in your mouth. Not that kind, but you get my point.

It's the heat that is simply addictive. I crave for hot spicy stuff more than any other food. I love the feeling/buzz you get from something that heats up your insides
I actually get annoyed if i try a new curry house and there vindaloo is like a korma. To me it's money down the drain.. Of course it still needs to be tasty. Just because it's hot it doesn't mean you don't get all the flavours. I consider myself a curry connoisseur. I have a curry once a week from my local takeaway. Even my local can be a hit and miss sometimes. I suppose it depends what chef is on.

Curry I get, because its supposed to be spicy. Madras is about my limit (albeit I accept they do vary), but on the whole its got the hotness/flavour ratio about right for me. Anything north of that is just a sweaty ordeal.
But I do a lot of BBQ. I'll marianade raw chicken in a home made spicy BBQ sauce for 24 hours before grilling, and if people want to then drench it in some insanely hot chilli sauce from a squeezy bottle then I have no problem, each to their own. But its not for me. I guess I just can't handle it if its TOO hot, because it destroys every other flavour.
Oh, and on that note - who actually enjoys a peppercorn sauce on a prime piece of steak ? FFS, the steak IS the flavour, not what you drench it with. Chips are bland, thats why you need ketchup/mayo/vinegar on top. But steak ? Bloody hell.
And on another note - anyone who has steak "well done" is a fool. Blimey, this gets me going.

Char-Griller Smoker. I can put a rack of ribs in that side-chamber over some hickory smoke wood chips for 4 hours, and the meat is falling off the bone. Possibly one of the best things I have ever bought.
You can say that last sentence in pure redneck as well.
