Nancy,

Confusion arising from differing terminology I think.

In Australia, if we talk about "tomato sauce" we're talking about a
vinegar based tomato sauce in a bottle, similar to ketchup and used as a
condiment.

In the US, AFAICS, if you talk about "tomato sauce" you're talking about
a sauce made from tomatoes and herbs to be used perhaps with pasta. And,
from your comment in another post, usually packaged in a can? A product
like this would probably be called a tomato puree here, or a pasta
sauce.

Hi Rhonda! Tomato sauce here is almost as you describe it. However it would
be "used" to make a pasta sauce not used as a pasta sauce. Tomato purée here
is just that: puréed tomatoes with no herbs or spices in it. Interesting and
fun to compare these things. I was _astonished_ to see on the Heinz AU site
the presence of canned flavored tuna! That is very different!

I think perhaps we just don't have something exactly equivalent to your
"tomato sauce" on the supermarket shelves. It's not something I've ever
bought, anyway. I'll have to have a close look at the canned tomato
products next time I shop.

Do you not have canned flavoured tuna in the US? Or is it just that Heinz
don't make it? There are numerous brands of it available here. All in
small individual sized cans. I usually have several in the cupboard -
they make an easy lunch for work accompanied by bread, or crackers, or
added to a salad.

I think that this must be the case. US-style tomato sauce is certainly
unnecessary. Just a convenience that one gets used to.

Never seen them here. It was very surprising to me! Not something I would
ever have thought of! It does seem useful. I wonder why it isn't done here.

Rhonda, as far as I know... Heinz DON'T make tuna anything.
Now if you said Bumble Bee, I'd know you were serious about

<S> I know.

Obviously, I don't associate the Heinz brand name with tuna.
Do they package it as Heinz or some other brand?

Bumblee and Chicken of the Sea are the two best known brands
for me.

Never heard of Bumble Bee - not a brand seen here. Heinz own Greenseas
brand of canned seafood. Not sure how long Heinz have owned the company.

Starkist do make flavoured tuna in the US, called 'Tuna Creations'. Very
limited selection.

All the canned tuna I have ever seen in
the U.S. is...tuna flavored. What flavor
is YOUR tuna! (This brings up really
awful conjectures--chocolate tuna,
peanut butter tuna, grape jelly tuna.
You get the point!

No, I don't get the point. Your ludicrous conjectures don't remotely
reflect flavors that many might feel acceptable. Flavors like lemon,
herbs, onion, etc., would certainly not be offputting to many people.
That said, however, I would still prefer to buy my tuna without added
flavors and add my own.
