If a can of tomato paste is 3 years expired

No, ketchup is tomato sauce. You use sauces as a condiment.
Tomato paste is used when you don't have affordable fresh tomatoes for a recipe that requires them in puréed form, like a stew or a chilli... or a tomato sauce.

Maybe in Soviet Russia.

If I go that route, I use Rotel.

This is the most texas product ever. Nobody outside of texas uses it.

Chili has tomato in some way. I'd rather use paste than stewed tomatoes. They make me gag.

In Europe we have something better. Sambal badjak. Sambal goreng. And sambal oelek (especially).

Umh.

Albie opening a can of tomato paste has prompted a 68 post thread.

Discuss.

It's got nothing on Oerdin ordering a pizza

I wasn't aware Oerdin ordered a pizza, but I do know he is buying a washing machine. Or maybe he's bought it by now and just didn't tell us.

Nope. Paste is a flavor intensifier. You try to get the same flavor from fresh tomatoes, you'll be cooking it down all day and still not quite get it.

Thanks to "guest" for bringing this to my attention. I know it's old, and I don't care.

Hopefully Albert can now afford to eat better food than expired tomato paste.

Hopefully posting gets better so I don't have to bump two year old tomato paste threads.
