Proper ketchup is made from fish, not tomatoes. You’re thinking of tomato sauce.

The 1800s are over.

What’s a square sausage ?

It’s questions like this that make me feel sorry  for disadvantaged people.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorne_sausage

Square = brown

So its a haggis that’s been run over by marauding Scotsmen in kilts then.

Or a Haggis Pâté

Brown sauce all day if the choice is red or brown. Personally though Branston Fruity is amazeballs!!

Agree that red sauce is for kids. They just use it as a masking agent for food that tastes of something slightly out of their pallet range.

'Branston Fruity'

Was raised on Daddies and HP, then discovered this in some corner shop or other:

Now the gold standard of brown sauces IME.

Jesus wept.

Lorne is beef.

So it's just a funny word for a cheap burger?

I'm learning a lot today! 🙂

Thats more like it. Its Its actually a mixturw of both pork and beef i think.

Much like burgers though... A good one is excellent a poor one is very poor indeed.

Brown sauce on a black pudding if its stornoway you can probably do without. If its that weird english muck that gets called black pudding and has horribly white lumps of fat in it.... That goes in the bin.

Must admit I have nought but butter with my bacon sarnies. Unless I'm at work then the chef will do me a BLT brioche with foraged ramson aioli. Normally against the over fashionable brioche but it does work.

Sausage - mustard and brown. And our butchers sausages win prizes mofos.

Bacon, normally brown, also good quality bacon f on above butcher

And if it ain't got butter on it there's a good chance I'll weep at the senseless waste of sandwiches life wasted

But that wouldn't be as sad as the saddest breakfast off all......

Four Lorne sausages

If you're going to put anything in a bacon sandwich that's neither more bacon nor an egg it should be Robertson's golden shred.

Brown, red, both, it's all good. And this nonsense about finding a better butcher! Off yer high sauce. Even the best bit of bacon can be made just that bit more sublime with the addition of a fruity brown relish.

as said up there, marmalade is the correct answer

with the option of fried onions and mustard if there's no marmalade

Red and brown sauces are abominations.  Anyone using them will end up in a very nasty place.

I'm currently brown with a hint of chilli.

Whatever you do, don't butter and sauce. That's just disgusting. Also applies to jam sandwiches. WTF are people thinking?

Red sauce (Daddy's for preference) is only used on fried black pudding or mixed with Worcestershire, Tabasco, Hellmans mayo and salad cream to make a Marie Rose for use with prawns and avocado.

And a streaky bacon sandwich with peanut butter and apricot conserve is a thing of beauty.  The only legacy of Elvis that I appreciate.

Nothing masks and ruins the complex and subtle tastes of bacon fat like a dollop of overpowering dairy melted all over the bread and bacon.  I too weep, yet at the invasive clarty nonsense of mixafatosis.  (Barely) worse still - margarine!!  *BOKE*.  Even a light spread is too much.

Get a grip 😉 Cook the bacon for longer and/or buy fattier cuts so you get the volume of bacon fat to dip the bread.  Both top and bottom inner-facing bread surfaces should be dipped and slightly crisped from the hot fat when performing the pan-dip. 2-3mm soak depth is ideal.

A sandwich without butter is like a pie without pastry. It's a flavour enhancer, not a mask.

What do you cook your bacon in then if not butter?

Ketchup was made for hot dog

Never, ever go to Chicago.  You'll be flayed alive for even thinking that.

Yeah. You gotta problem bud? I will shoot your face off if you even say the K word

Chicagoans take their hot dogs seriously.  And have guns.

....and yet are more worried about ketchup than they are about Low Fat Turkey Hot Dogs or even Vegetarian Hot Dogs?

That's just wrong. It's like ordering a  cucumber trifle or a  venison carrot.

What do you cook your bacon in if not butter

Never cooked it in butter.  IMO it tastes best in its own grease.  First of all forget the crappy intensively-produced watery tasteless bacon from supermarkets and corner shops. Last time I bought and cooked bacon was from a local village butcher when camping a few weeks back.  He sliced me four medium cut pieces from the bacon joint.  Cost less than £2 and was quality, just like I remember eating as a kid.  Bacon was something of a delicacy in our family and I carried on the tradition.  True to popular opinion bacon has without doubt been the hardest thing to quit since endeavouring to buy more ethically/healthfully.

Anyway, if possible let rashers sit and rest un-refrigerated at room temp for a while before putting in pan.  Otherwise lay and warm them very gently in the pan before raising the heat from v. low to med/low.  You have to render the fat to get it cooking properly.   Only needs turning once if cooked right.  Then once properly cooked get your bread slices (or cut roll) and press down on that whole gently sizzling mess for 10 secs before removing from heat and filling with rashers.  Don't throw the grease away down the drain.  You're throwing the taste away.  Don't put butter in there, you're making a mess of bacon and a mess of the taste of bacon.  Last word.  ymmv but  some things are just wrong 😝 Here's how:

I think that's a vegan dig perchy. You can tell from the wonderfully supercilious facial expression.

Edit: "how to cook bacon" illustrated with streaky bacon FFS. Streaky bacon is for cooking with, just like back bacon is for jealous people on diets or those who think Danish [as relates to bacon] is a mark of quality not poor animal welfare.

Bacon has a big streaky tail wrapped fully the length of the sumptuous medalion at its head, lined all along its outer edge by a translucent rind backed with a milky white thickness of fat. It is not rindless, not smoked, it is certainly not missing the medalion or trimmed of the excess flavour in its tail end.
