[Closed] Sauce: It's time we had rules

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.

mol - chips with cheese melted on them and salad cream - yum yum oh yeah

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?!?

Richmtb - I think you'll find that's gravy, or, dare I whisper the word on here, a jus.....

It ain't sauce!

yum yum oh yeah yum yum oh yeah

Post coital cigarette?

 

Well...Im also a northerner by birth..and it's HP sauce and tomato ketchup!! So there!! 8)

Are these Northern or Southern rules?

Northern :-

Bacon sandwich - Brown
Sausage sandwich - Brown
Cheese pie - Brown
Chips - Red

I thought that was meant to be

Northern :-

Bacon sandwich - Gravy
Sausage sandwich - Gravy
Cheese pie - Gravy
Chips - Gravy

mol - chips with cheese melted on them and salad cream - yum yum oh yeah

Acceptable.

Chips - Gravy

Chips and gravy is fine. Gravy is not a sauce - it's gravy.

jus????????????????

Now my blood pressure's shot through the chuffin' roof AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👿

Dr S****. I agree with you about the only sauce for a bacon butty being a really runny fried egg

Well...Im also a northerner by birth..and it's HP sauce and tomato ketchup!! So there

You're clearly from somewhere posher than me 😉

No No No No No No

Smoked Salmon - Cream cheese, lemon and pepper
Or hollandaise

Fish Fingers - Tartar sauce

Prawn - Marie Rose sauce which is Mayo and Ketchup mixed

I didn't start the jus thing. Don't shout at me!

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.

Prawn - Marie Rose sauce which is Mayo and Ketchup mixed

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.

beans on toast was made for..

esp with some melted cheese on top

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.

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

Can I hazard a guess here that you're from the wrong side of the Pennines? (-:

BigButSlimmerBloke - I put that on everything! I love the stuff.

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!!!

Can I hazard a guess here that you're from the wrong side of the Pennines? (-:

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!).

bap

You mean a barm surley? I whole different debate.

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!

bap

You mean a barm surley? I whole different debate

BREADCAKE 👿

Oh dear god no!! Bap or bread bun, (I'll permit a 'cob') not a barm, bread cake or teacake!

Bacon Sandwich - Red sauce only

Agree

Fish Finger Sandwich - Brown sauce only

WHOOOOOAAA. Stop right there.

If you lot want to move to the next plane of existence, go to Gourmet Burger Kitchen and order some barbecue sauce.

It's chunky, and it's out of this world.

Hora, as usual, there's something both right and wrong about you.....

Oh dear god no!! Bap or bread bun, (I'll permit a 'cob') not a barm, bread cake or teacake!

Ah, you're a muffin man.

BREADCAKE???

What the chuffin' hell is a breadcake?

A muffin is a muffin, not a bread bun/bap

Mrscrackfox seems to think that food is merely a vehicle for condiments.....all of them at once. I am trying to train her but six years now with no real breakthrough.

And has no one ever tried Hull Chip Spice?

If you get the offer say no, its like a crushed stock cube and paprika sprinkled on your chips 👿

It's a breadcake.

It's made of bread.

You cut it in half and put things in it.

You get them in Sheffield.

It's a breadcake!

I cut my sauce eating teeth in Sheffield.

That explains it.

There's a chippie near our Wakefield office, with a sign up stating that due to health and safety reasons they are no longer able to serve chip butties with gravy.

(I actually asked them if they'd had many serious gravy-related casualties and was met with sudden acute sense-of-humour failure...)

It's a breadcake!

Exactly which part of it is a cake? Lunatic.

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

NO sauce!

Mushy peas in a chip butty??? Dear God!!!!

Then it's a bread roll/bap... not a cake!!

You know, purely in terms of people taking complete leave of their senses, this thread really puts the OCD discussion into perspective.
