Crispo and Trailmonkey know their relish
HP = Brown, yes. I was trying to bring in the people that buy cheap, supermarket versions.
I would only ever buy HP sauce.
Bacon Sandwich with Mustard!
Good god - you're all sick!
Tabasco on anything.
only ever Heinz Tomato Ketchup - nothing else ever. That burger van catering red sauce shit that is just red vinegar would be banned if I were PM
Blimey Dr, you caught yourself out there - "Worcester sauce lives in my cupboard with spices" - then "all sauces except vinegar live in the fridge"!
For someone with OCD tidiness, you're a bit sauce-confused.*
*Unless your cupboard is a fridge of course.
Oooh - I'd forgotten Tabasco.
It kind of falls into the Worcester syndrome though - it's an ingredient, not a table sauce.
Having said that I do like pepping up soups with Encona.
Am I the only person who like [b]red and brown[/b] sauce on a bacon sauasage and egg sarnie. yum....
oneone - it is confusing.
But I use Worcester sauce as that's it's name. It's not a table sauce though. I'll write to Lee & Perrins and ask for it to be renamed Worcester Flavour Compensator For People Who Can't Cook.
I add milk to baked beans, as does my dad!
Bacon Sandwich - Red sauce onlyFish Finger Sandwich - Brown sauce only
You got these the wrong way round
Are these Northern or Southern rules?
Northern :-
Bacon sandwich - Brown
Sausage sandwich - Brown
Cheese pie - Brown
Chips - Red
Unklebuk - NEVER mix sauces.
Bacon, Sausage and Egg requires no sauce. The egg should be properly fried such that the yolk provides moisture.
Any sauce would overpower the other flavours.
Bacon Sandwich with Mustard!
NO NO NO NO NO
In fact mixing sauces of any kind is not to be recommended.
Impossible to make homemade thousand island dressing with doing so.
and I prefer my tuna mayonaisse, with a bit of salad cream and sometimes horseradish.
I add milk to baked beans, as does my dad!
Cheap!
Will be starting lumberjack songs soon as well
Organic - hmmmm, that's a difficult one. You are using a sauce as an ingredient. It's not like you've put mayo and tomato and tabasco onto your prawns. You've selected them as ingredients and mixed them into a new single sauce.
However, it's still wrong. Thousand Island is vile.
There are alternatives.
no no no, bacon butties need mayo & brown sauce
Mayo is the work of the devil and needs to be sent to the same hell where marmite belongs!
Mrs Toast - Marmite is NOT a sauce and is a PERFECT food substance.
It is out of scope of these discussions.
Thai sweet chilli sauce is not only addictive but a superb addition to coloured, not white, cheddar sandwiches or fish finger sandwiches.
Bacon and egg sarnie has red OR brown sauce. Both? Are you clinically insane. Nothing supports both except a burger. Which generally copes with a multiple sauce approach far better than the butty.
I repeat yesterdays assertion that fish finger butties must have red sauce and a cheese single. The cheese single must be of the lowest quality available. The sort that is labelled 'may contain cheese'
Bacon butty - no butter/spread and brown sauce only.
Fishfinger butty - brown sauce only, spread recommended.
Chicken breast butty - brown sauce
Cheese on toast - Worcester sauce
Burger - mix mayo, English mustard and ketchup
Sausage butty - brown sauce
Hot dog in a finger roll - ketchup and French's mustard.
Brown sauce on bread is a sandwich in its own right.
Corned beef butty - brown sauce and a bit of English mustard
C'est tout. J'ai fini.
HP = Brown, yes. I was trying to bring in the people that buy cheap, supermarket versions.
I once ate at a caff that had refilled HP bottles with some sort of vile brown sauce-style condiment-type fluid, presumably in the deluded hope that their customers couldn't tell the difference. Why would anyone do such a thing? WHY?
Love marmite too... makes not note to go to dinner with mrs toast, I can tell it just wouldn't work.
Tobasco - brilliant and can be used as an ingredient or a sauce.
Levi Roots Reggae Sauce is also awesome... I suspect it would be brilliant on a cheddar cheese (with raw onion and MAYO) sarnie - must try that later
Have we discussed the bread issue? No butty has ever benefited from being on brown bread EVER!
Brown bread is purely put on the shelves for the girl in the office who is always on a diet but never loses any weight. Therefore it fulfills a useful social function. But that, I'm afraid, is it!!!
Now, where does salsa fit into the discussion?
I love a bit of salsa!
I must be reet posh, I have my bacon sarmies with Avocado, rocket, tomato sauce and mayo, on posh brown bread of course.
Neither red nor brown sauce (whether branded or cheap supermarket lookalikes) have a place in my kitchen.
Hellmans Full Fat Mayonnaise rules - with salad, salad sandwiches, smoked salmon sandwiches (with garlic and black pepper), on beans, in soups, on roast veggies.
Colmans English Mustard - for fried eggs, fried egg sarnies (I like to tinker with amount, the correct amount is so it almost, but not quite, makes me sneeze).
Otherwise Thai Sweet Chilli dipping sauce - also good with fried eggs, any kind of fried or baked veg.
Hungry now - good job it's almost lunchtime.
Binners - Bacon and Egg needs NO sauce.
The egg yolk should still be fluid and would be overwhelmed by red or brown.
Gee-Jay - it's a pet hate of mine when crap cafes do that. HP is the only true brown sauce. Anything else is just the rinsings from a tramps pants.
What can I have this on?

Karonofnine and Organic - you are too posh to be in this discussion. Clearly you don't understand the true working class nature of sauce.
Salsa?
Red or brown?

Bread - For fishfinger and bacon sarnies it should be cheap white sliced. For Sausage it should be good quality thickly (hand cut) white with big crusts
rinsings from a tramps pants.
PMSL!! As did the tramp!
Agree on only HP not brown sauce ... the dealth penalty is not severe enough for pulling the swap trick
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...
