Advantages: Good Quality For the Price

Disadvantages: For The Price None

This is my first food related review the reason I have never written a food one is down to the simple fact that I dont think that I could really do justice and write a foodie review.

The reason that I have chosen to do this one is because in these tough times when many of us are economizing many peoples shopping budgets have to be reduced and many people are choosing to buy a brand down. I personally said that the one thing that I would not change was my usual Heinz tomato ketchup and then my husband did the shopping and produced a bottle of Asda's smart price tomato ketchup and here is what I thought.


==== The Product ====

The smart price tomato ketchup comes in an old fashioned looking glass bottle with the famous green and white label that's the trademark of Asda's smart price range.
It is a clear glass bottle and you can see the tomato ketchup inside which I was relived to see was a great Heinz looking colour.


==== The Bottom Test ====

I always remember from my childhood my Mum and Dad tapping the bottom of the glass bottle and waiting for that lovely plop sound as the ketchup hit my plate and I was expecting this to be the same but as sound as I tipped the bottle I found that this ketchup came out very easy in fact a little too easy and I found that this made it hard to get the right amount on the plate.


==== Texture and Look ===

I was quite pleased to see that the ketchup looked just like my beloved heinz on the plate and was the same consistency as I had thought it was going to be runny and it had the same juicy red tomato colour so all that was left was to try it.


==== The Taste Test ====

I put it in front of the strictest judges ever my children and believe you me nothing gets past these three and even though the oldest is only eight they are already training to work for MI5.

I was waiting for the expected urghh whats this! but instead I was greeted with only the sound of them eating their food so I took the plunge and I was amazed with the results the ketchup tasted good and I really could not tell much of a difference. I could taste the tomato and it was full of flavour and didn't appear to have anything missing.
The only thing that I would say was that I found that the after taste was a little more acidic that my Heinz but other than that I hardly noticed any difference.


==== My Conclusion ====

I have to say that I have continued to purchase this and all five of us have no complaints.
It is easy to pour, nice and thick and full of taste and flavour.


==== Price ====

550 g for 38p.
