I do not know if you have tried doing this yet it is so awesomely delicious to put some catchup in your noodles.What I tried to figure out is the noodles you cook or the noodles you bought from the restaurant.It is our routine to just eat it right away.One day I have tried to put some catchup in it and to my surprise it really adds a real delicious taste in the noodles I have been craving for so long,yet now the taste is more delicious.Try it guys and I know you will all agree with me.

Catchup (or, as I write and say it, 'ketchup') is a mixture of fruit (generally tomato here in England), vinegar and sugar with various spices. Usually it is too sharp or vinegary to use as a sauce for spaghetti or other pasta and I prefer other tomato based sauces or a pesto (a mixture of green herbs, such as basil, oil, nuts and a hard cheese). I have seen (but haven't tried) ketchup made from other fruits - banana, for example - and we have a similar sauce made mostly from plums, dates and other dried fruit which we call 'brown sauce'. I'd be interested to know if the 'catchup' you refer to is like our English 'ketchup' or whether it is less sharp and what it is made from. Here, the word 'noodles' is reserved exclusively for either the oriental kind - egg based or rice noodles - or for very fine pasta used in soups (it is actually a word which we borrowed from the Germans), otherwise all kinds of pasta are known either by the Italian name for the specific shape - spaghetti, macaroni, farfalli, conchiglioni, fusilli and so on - or, generically as pasta. I know that, in the US, almost all kinds of pasta (including the Italian kinds) are called 'noodles', with the exception, perhaps, of the flat sheet varieties like lasagne. I wonder if, in the Philippines, you follow the American convention of calling all kinds of pasta 'noodles' or whether you even have other shapes besides the long, round kind which I call spaghetti (for the flour-based, Italian kind) or 'noodles' (for the egg-based or rice flour based - and softer - Chinese kind). Do you make a distinction between Italian, Chinese or Japanese style noodles? It seems to me that any noodles or pasta really require some kind of sauce to give them some piquancy, otherwise they are too bland. Egg noodles are very good with just soy sauce and I could also eat them bathed in ketchup (though not too much and not too often).

You are right there my friend that somehow spaghetti are really made up of catchup and other ingredients.What I wanted to emphasize is the using of catchup to other types of noodles.The noodle are already ready to be eaten but you have to try putting some catchup in it and you could just imagine that the taste of what you use to the noodles you are craving seems different due to the mixing of catchup into it.I wish you got what I am trying to explain.
