the 69 million dollar question

[santaman2000]

No we mean biscuits but then we speak English not Americane

I remember how when I was there, you called catsup "tomato sause." When I asked, "Well what do you call ordinary tomato sause then?" nobody had an aswer.

So I'll ask the same thing about biscuits then. If you call (what we call) crackers "buscuits" then what do you call real biscuits?

We don't - we don't eat them (much like you don't eat Yorkshire pudding)

Don't think we have american 'biscuits' here.
We do however have growlers, black pudding and bangers n mash.

Actually you're wrong on both points red.

1) We DO eat Yorkshire pudding
2) You DO eat them; think of Irish Soda Bread. The difference is that we make it in individual serving size rather than a common loaf (hence the ability to split them and stuff with butter and jams or place on a plate and smother with SOS)

Always make me chuckle that, Is it a yorkshire thing?, I do hear and use that name for pork pies but it's not as common as I thought it would be?

Maybe they were just confused by the spelling

Tomato Sauce == Tomato Ketchup== Red sauce all go on chips (fries)

Tomato puree and Tomato passata are for cooking with
Biscuits encompasses cookies. Crackers are savoury or dual purpose to have an accompaniment (such as cheese, or lemon curd).

As for your biscuits - sounds like your talking about scones to me.

Yes but you still haven't said what you cal ordinary tomato sause (sause made by cooking down tomatoes into a proper sause WITHOUT adding anything other than a small amount of salt) You know? The stuff you buy in a can? And if you call what we call "tomato sauce" puree, then what do you call proper puree?

As far the scones, yes they're similar but not exact. They're just a simple quickbread (soda bread)

Strange - I've never yet met an AMerican who eats roast beef and Yorkshire pudding - or an Irishman put gravy on soda bread!

I've never seen it in the shops - you'd use passata - or a pasta sauce.

Don't think it's all that common, I've never heard of them being called growlers. Perhaps it's more a local thing, like what I call a breadcake someone from Leeds would call a teacake (they'd be wrong of course ).

Anyway, back to the subject at hand. My wifes home baked chocolate chip cookies are BOSS come to think of it, pretty much anything she bakes is good. Maybe that's why I'm called Fat Rog and not just Rog

I'd call that a stage in the recipe to be honest, "reduced tomatoes" maybe. boiled tomatoes are not a sauce, they're just called "tomatoes"

 

[santaman2000]

I've never seen it in the shops - you'd use passata - or a pasta sauce.

But the pasta sauces have other ingredients added and are't especially good for much else (such as making meatloaf or tomato gravy, or soups, etc. Maybe it is the "passata." That's something I've never heard of. Is it like a sauce ? Or is it like a tomato paste?

passata is raw liquidised tomatoes. We don't tend to get/need/use tinned cooked tomatoes over here (you simply cook the passata)

You're both wrong, they're called cobs

Not the same thing. A proper can of tomato "sauce" is a product that's been cooked down (and possibly straines as it has NO solids) into the viscosity of a sauce. And yes, it is used for cooking and not consumed as a condiment.

passata is basically sieved tomatoes
