*soaked in water*???...bleeuurrgghhh......all you have to do is leave them in a plastic bag in the back of the fridge for a few weeks....that'll keep them moist

they sell it in many supermarkets - its in a old fashioned looking bottle with a pinky/beige old fashioned looking label with just writing on

it smells kind of vinegary but theres no vinegary flavour - which is odd

[ummmm]

If it works...

[ummmm]

Does it taste nice on it's own? Could you dip chips in it?

[joko]

as i said in texture its more like brown water than thick like normal ketchup...not really sure why they call it ketchup really...its nice in sauces, gravy etc

[joko]

its only about £1.30 so worth a go

they don't shrink so much if you cook them wrapped in foil in the oven.
