Lidl Danish ketchup good as Heinz!?

Chaps,

So have any of you tried Lidl's Kania Danish ketchup? imo it does taste good and well priced.

I've always been skeptical about Lidl, thinking it's a downmarket shop, an opinion reinforced when I've looked in the stores and seen the very basic layout they have in there, and brand names we've never heard of on the shelves.

That slightly snobbish attitude has kept me out the shops, (although I have used them for cheap booze, and one of the few places I can get Wychwood ales down my way!) but as my dad put it recently: "Lidl's a German company, and the Germans don't like to eat crap."

He was explaining that he'd recently tasted the ketchup and mayo from there, and now only buys theirs as it's much better...

I don't like it as much myself - personal preference. However I have no issue with the statement "Germans don't eat crap", lots of things to recommend about Lidl, I see it as a German supermarket in the UK, the quality is good.

Lidl had a previous brand of ketchup -which was brilliant.My son spat out the Kania one -i thought he was been fussy, told him off , and had some myself .......and spat it out.
Lidl have gone from one of the best to the worst .Kania is vile

I never thought to buy anything other than Heinz until I read a taste test in one of the newspapers a while ago, and tried Sainsburys own brand as a result. It is far far nicer than Heinz, not sickly sweet and has a much richer tomato flavour.
