What kind of canned tomatoes do you trust for sauce?

[karadekoolaid]

I usually have a couple of cans of tomatoes in the cupboard, just in case, because fresh tomatoes are available here all through the year.
Which do I choose? Usually the cheapest, like MG - I trust myself to be able to "fix" any bitterness/acidity/ blandness in the sauce if required.

We normally have "Brook's" tinned whole peeled tomatoes in the cupboard. I'll use these for big batches of curry or chilli-con-carne.

When we buy (or are given) fresh tomatoes for salads, etc., if there are any left over, I drop them in boiling water for a couple of minutes, then peel them and freeze them whole for future chopping or liquidising.

these are the only 2 I use

but reading the ingredients of the tin, they actually contain 3 ingredients, vine ripened tomatoes, tomato juice and tomato paste which would explain why i never need to add extra tomato concentrate when I use them. but they are excellent. far better than any I used back in the UK which were just watery compared to these (and other Australian tinned toms )
