    Organic – you can have it on the carpet apparently.

    Hot sauce, hmmmmm, I’d suggest it’s an ingredient again. To pep something up. Not a table sauce though.

    Never before IN MY LIFE have I seen such a collection of people being wrong in one place at the same time!

    Many of you are ruining perfectly good foods with your sauce-lunacy and I am disgusted with you. Utterly disgusted.

    Houns – your bread choice is to be applauded.

    However, bread choice is another thread waiting to happen.

    Got to disagree with Binner’s brown bread claim. I think a good tongue burning, mature as **** cheddar benefits from being served betwixt two slices of wholemeal / granary bread along with the necessary peripherals, lettuce, tomato, spring onion etc..

    FRIED EGGS NEED BROWN SAUCE AND SALT

    I would agree TwinklyDave.

    That is why I’ve published the rules – so that the wrongness can cease.

    Bacon sandwich – BBQ sauce (controversial I know!!), substitute red if not available

    Fish and chips – chippy sauce (brown sauce watered down with vinegar)

    Firstly, it’s TOMATO KETCHUP not red sauce. Wtf are you 5 years old or something?

    Secondly, brown sauce, pickle and salad cream are all bloody DISGUSTING and should be banned, but that’s nothing comared to the EVIL that is MAYONNAISE. Jesus wept, the most disgusting thing on the planet and people are putting it on their FOOD and in their MOUTHS.. UGH UGH UGH x1000000 you utter freaks!

    Tabasco IS a table sauce – some people like their food spicier, so that’s what it’s for.

    Peasants!

    Sauces are made from scratch in a saucepan, normally from a base of onion / garlic / shallots lightly sauted in butter with a dash of wine and stock appropriate to the meat you will be serving. Herbs can be added to enhance the flavour.

    What is this Red and Brown nonsense of which you speak?

    WTF is chippy sauce (ahem – I know you described it) is it some kind of Scottish food filth?

    HP fruity sauce is damn good on a fried egg too. My grandad taught me this fact when I was about 7.

    No! Mr Starship – mustard on fried eggs pur-lease! lol

    The only exception is when the eggs are in a nice mushroom omelette (with garlic) in which case it’s got to be mayo – full fat mayo by the way, no sense messin’ with that “Light” rubbish – it tastes revolting and you have to eat way more to get the same hit…

    Molgrips – Red:Brown v Ketchup:HP is a north/south thing.

    I’m a northerner by birth and sauce is red or brown.

    Tobasco isn’t a table sauce! It’s an ingredient. If you want to pep your food up, cook the flavour in.

    Chippy sauce is an Edinburgh thing I believe, but it’s great on chips.

    I hear there are places that go for gravy on chips – what is that all about?!?

    Anyone remember Fletcher’s Tiger Sauce?

    An almost mythical sauce so awesome that it vanished from the shelves of PRESTO and into legend. It will only reappear in the hands (or perhaps down the front and round the corner of the mouth) of King Arthur and his knights when they ride out from under that secret hill of theirs to save us from Armageddon.

    Like this, but in a small brown bottle.

    WRONG

    Smoked salmon = horseradish
    Fish Fingers = BROWN sauce
    Prawn = Mayonaise (but only if you really have to) or Mango.

    A chip buttie must contain:

    Doorstop-thick white bread
    Butter
    Proper chips, cut from potatoes and deep fried, none of this frozen / oven chip nonsense
    Salt
    Sarson’s malt vinegar (remember the chip buttie vinegar mantra; if it’s clear, it goes nowhere near)
    Heinz tomato ketchup

    A correctly assembled chip buttie should be too tall to realistically fit in your mouth without compression and careful angling unless you’re Diana from V.

    This is not a chip buttie:

    Thin bread, watery ketchup, no vinegar, the butter seems to have all but disappeared and I suspect that it’s some form of “spread” instead. This image was lifted from a forum entitled “only in America” – I concur but I expect hat’s for wildly different reasons from the original thread’s intent.

    What if you want your Grilled Stuft Burrito extra hot and your wife wants it Mild?

    Ask Taco Bell to cook two differently? No, just add the sauce.

    PS the above mayonnaise salad cream sh*t is making me feel sick irl.

    WRONG!

    But – very close. Just lose the vinegar. The chips should (as per the OCD thread) be laid out jenga style on good bread, with butter, and kethcup (although brown would be better).

    Brown sauce on a chip buttie and no vinegar?

    I’m not saying that’s the first sign of madness, but I think I’ve just spotted Suggs walking up your drive.

    A proper chip butty, in a bap from the chippy, should only have lots of salt and vinegar…. NO sauce!!!

    Probably. I cut my sauce eating teeth in Sheffield. Oddly enough a place where gravy and curry sauce (chip shop style – which I think is made from white pepper and wallpaper paste) seem popular.

    However, there is a hard core of sauce cogniscents that taught me well.

    The OH is from Rotherham and she knows her sauces (apart from thinking red and brown mix!).

    NO! Chip Butties are either home made (see the above recipe) OR are from a chip shop. They are different animals.

    Chip shop chip butties (chips in a bread cake to give them their proper name) should have butter, salt, and mushy peas.

    NO sauce!
