OmNomNom Tomato Sauce...

What an awful shame - the servers are down now, and I have nothing I can do that doesn't involve accessing them... (and if you can work that sentence out - well done!) Oddly enough, t'interweb is still here, so... *g*

I have a question!

Over at scene_again, someone in the 1800s talked about making "catchup", and I wondered what that was, and someone said ketchup, and someone else said catsup, and we all said tomato sauce!

Except - every time I hear someone talking about it in the UK, they seem to call it "ketchup", or "tomato ketchup", so that I thought "tomato sauce" must have been an Australianism that my mum/family had picked up. Only now it turns out that maybe it wasn't, cos some people here do say "tomato sauce" for what (Americans definitely!) call "ketchup".

So... where are you from, and what do you call it?!
