Ketchuppy

But when all’s said and done, it is nothing more than a lot of ketchuppy-tasting diced tomatoes, rather highly seasoned with garlic and chilli, ahem, I mean “specially selected spices”.

The Soyles have been trying to come up with their own versions, with different spices and flavors, but here’s the thing: people just like their ketchup . . . ketchuppy.

Lift the ketchup off the heat and leave to cool slightly before pouring the whole lot into a food processor (in batches), or use a hand blender to blend to a lovely thick ‘ketchuppy’ consistency.

They tease Emmie that their nannies have to pick up the slack, like making the kids the lunchtime chopped ham and ketchuppy hot dogs.

Then Clive makes a misjudged remark about Faruk’s sister, Deniz, but the ketchuppy sausage-end Faruk flicks in immediate retribution falls short of its grinning target and drops onto Ros’s plate, where it sits among the last of her lettuce leaves.

He stabbed another forkful of ketchuppy eggs and waved it at me.
