SC - OOP:tomato sauce

[margali]

You can actually slip a small amount in and he won't notice.

I found out the hard way that people who grew up with stewed tomatoes made with
sugar or with salt have violent dislik-reactions when they are inadvertantly
served the other kind, but for some reason the herbs and garlic in spaghetti
sauce seem to mask the sugar and salt and you can play fast and loose without
most people noticing. Just don't let him see what you are putting in!

[my brother and I were turned off stewed tomatoes for years after spending a
weekend at a cousins farm when very young-at home my mom's cook used sugar, my
great aunt used salt. ]
