[london.food] Half way between tomatoes and tomato puree

[prev] [thread] [next] [lurker] [Date index for 2003/12/22]

I seem to remember that there is something that is half way between 
tomatoes (tinned, maybe) and tomato puree and comes in a jar but I cannot 
remember what it is called.  I have discovered that tinned tomatoes (or 
real ones, raw or cooked) are upsetting my tum when I make bolognese and 
that, if I strain the tin through a sieve, thereby removing the seeds and 
skins and other non-pulp portions of the tomatoes, I am OK.  Would this 
jarred product be a better bet for me than the hassle of a sieve and a 
teaspoon?  Can anyone think of anything else that might enable me to still 
enjoy one of my favourite food, while many of my favourite foods are now 
denied to me (pizza, ice cream, cheese, ...)?

Thanks in advance, and happy xmas / new year / hanukah (sp?) / holidays...

    Passata? That's cooked, sieved tomatoes. It comes in jars or tetrapaks.

    Sounds like passata to me, a.k.a 'Seived Red Tomatoes', so sounds like
