In Doy’s garden

Log it in Doydum and a row of aubergines sprouts in today’s bed in front of Doy’s house.

Ketchup is a sweet and tangy sauce of tomatoes, vinegar, sugar and spices, the classic partner for fries, burgers, hot dogs and nuggets. Most of what it adds comes from its sugar.

Single sachets hold less than a tablespoon, so count them; a big squeeze over fries can be several spoonfuls.
