It’s equivalent to buying a half and half football scarf.
Its the narcissism of small differences really - theyre both football teams, why would you like one and not the other if you enjoy football.
It odd that Ketchup and HP seem to be quite a binary choice but if you read the ingredients they are practically the same sweet and sour sauce
Red sauce? Brown sauce? Are you 5 years old?
It’s ketchup or HP.
'Ketchup' is a very broad ranging term - we've attached it in the uk to bottled tomato sauce, but ketchup / catsup can be made from anything. There are apple ketchups, pepper ketchups , olive ketchups and so on. It's just means sweet and sour sauce. HP Sauce is effectively a tomato ketchup - its just a tomato ketchup recipe that happens to be brown rather than red.
The wrong ‘uns on this thread are outing themselves.
There are many, many things wrong with me.
But half and half scarves FFS. People that wear them should be made to watch Mrs Brown's Boys on repeat. But they'd probably enjoy that
Noooo
Each has a place, but together, even at different sides of the same plate is so wrong.
I'm lost, how did we get to scarves from sauces? And HP make printers to sell ink, red brown and other colours.
Chill out, Tarquin.
🙂

Endless sauce.

I can’t work out if that half’n’half shirt is either a Boutros Boutros Ghali level of attempted UN peacekeeping, or the most dangerous item of clothing you could ever wear
its the latter, isn’t it?
I’m lost, how did we get to scarves from sauces
We’re using the scarves as a device to illustrate that on certain subjects you just can’t compromise. Pick a side. We don’t want ‘but we can all live together in peace and harmony’, we demand entrenched division and venomous tribal hatred!
No and neither is mixing tomato sauce and mayonnaise either (makes saucy sauce)
Poll. Is having red and brown sauce together wrong?
Yes. But not necessarily for the reason you might think.
It is, in fact, wrong because the solution to the brown/red sauce mix already exists - in sauce perfection.
The answer is HP Fruity (the one with the green label). Utterly incredible with bacon and eggs.
Also a brilliant cooking ingredient - mix with soy sauce, some orange juice, some ginger and garlic and you've got a great stir fry sauce too.
Mustard, tomato sauce and brown sauce all together. Unbranded versions of the above as well.
English Mustard, Tomato Sauce and Brown Sauce is my new favourite on any combo of Sausage, Bacon and/or Egg! If you've not tried it, give it a go...
I am also partial to English Mustard, Tomato Sauce and Mayo on or with burger and chips...
I'm not applying any analysis to the results but it's safe to say the double sauce combo is unacceptable and I was right. Good. Case closed.
What on earth is a "banjo"?
What on earth is a “banjo”?
Is this context a sarny or cob/roll/bap. I think it is army slang primarily, but I may be wrong.
Otherwise it is a stringed instrument favoured by people who have the name (or a relative by the name of) Cletus.
Or the one-stringed banjo - which is played equally vigorously, but not usually in public.

Military slang for a roll with a runny egg, as when you're wiping the inevitable yolk off your top, it looks like you're playing an invisible banjo.
The way forward for Fish Finger sandwiches is Red Sauce and Hot Horseradish!
I think you’ll find it’s ketchup and cheese singles
No and neither is mixing tomato sauce and mayonnaise either (makes saucy sauce)
We do this, mix ketchup and mayonnaise. For some reason we then call it thousand island sauce. Generally used for things like dipping boiled eggs in, or drizzling over plain rice. I know, we're weird.
"Military slang for a roll with a runny egg, as when you’re wiping the inevitable yolk off your top, it looks like you’re playing an invisible banjo."
Thank you, it's a new one on me having not been in the military. Great image.
To answer the OP - no, it is perfectly normal.
Definitely wrong but people do it.
I have got a bit of a perversion for mixing mayo and red sauce when having a chicken burger!
All kinds of wrong.
Mayo and a chilli sauce of your liking.
A bacon sarnie should just be bread, butter and bacon.
Red sauce and brown sauce, WTF even is that? the stuff that gets squeezed out of the slop trays from your local wheatherspoons on a friday night?
Animals.
I jest - I have been known to use ketchup, but I sure as hell wouldnt admit it in polite company.
If you must dabble with such saucery...
Brown for breakfast
Red on anything else
Job done...
thems the rules
I had red sauce on a bacon butty yesterday, because it was easier (bought 4 for the site lads). I wish I'd asked for brown on one. Red adds nothing to a bacon butty.
Not read the whole thread, but for me it goes thusly.
Bacon = Brown
Sausage = Red
Sausage and Bacon = both
However, if an egg is involved I'd take the brown off (unless the egg is scrambled)
It's a complicated system, but it works for me.
I wouldn't do mix them on a sandwich but I do multiple sauces for fish and chips - HP. Ketchup, Mayo and if it's from the chippy, Curry.
Variety is the spice of life and all that.
Crack on
I always thought this forum was middle class, but clearly I was completely wrong. Class wannabees.
Bacon - Tomato sauce - Heinz only. This isnt a sink council estate.
Sausage - Lorne or Link - Brown only, HP sauce, again for the reasons above.
(Pork links may have Tomato Ketchup ,but only in extraordinary circumstances.
Beef sausage is HP only)
Egg with runny yolk - HP.
Egg with cooked yolk - Ketchup
Black pudding - Ketchup
Haggis - Nothing. The dear haggis will be unadulterated- This is a legal requirement due to cultural laws
Potato scone - HP
.
Any of the above mixed - HP
Surely the answer here is HP fruity sauce
The way forward for Fish Finger sandwiches is Red Sauce and Hot Horseradish!
The Ivy Restaurant near me does a lovely Horseradish ketchup which I cant recreate at home annoyingly and cant find being sold anywhere!
