Those familiar with danny baker will know that he has a Saturday morning "quiz"in which contestants guess  what a celebrity would put on their sausage sandwich.

The lady on the table next to us for breakfast has juat put brown sauce and honey on hers.

It might be the tastiest thing in the world but I don't intend finding it out.

Let's get one thing straight. "Red sauce" is actually called "tomato ketchup".

As a point of fact, regardless of etymology,  the direction in The Sausage Sandwich is for contestants to choose "red sauce, brown sauce, or no sauce at all".

Clearly, you've never been in a Glasgow chippy.

The red sauce has never been near a tomato in it's life.

A proper Glasgow chippy wouldn't be offering sauce at all.

Its rare that ketchup is the right choice. Sauce should be brown and spicy nae sweet tomato shite.

Brown.

Tomato sauce is for children.

Crispy, well fired roll with links and tattie scone and a soupçon of tomato ketchup.

Breakfast of champions.

Neither. If the sausage or bacon are of good enough quality to actually taste of something then none is needed. Only a poor quality pork product needs sauce to mask it's flavour or lack of.

^ Is oddly correct.

50/50 is very tasty on any breakfast sandwich.  Tastier than either sauce alone.

Failing that then brown alone.  Never just tomato ketchup.

Ketchup was made for hot dog with mustard and onions.  It doesnt belong elsewhere (unless accompanied by other better sauces and/or mayonnaise)

The tomatoes in tomato ketchup must be of really poor quality - any actual tomato taste has been completely masked in that muck.

I'm not surprised that they enjoy good old Houses of Parliament sauce in that there Glasgow, they are all terribly British that way.

Agreed, even more excuse not to cover your sarny in it. Good bread, a bit of butter, quality pork. No more, no less.

If you need sauce on your sausage or bacon then you need to find a verse butcher.

2 points.

1. Salt 'n' sauce is edinburgh, Salt ''n" vinegar is Glasgow.

2. There us zero similarity between chippy brown sauce and HP.

And Perchy. Yiu're a wrongun. Sugary wet nonsense on a bacin roll?! You need to spuce up the bacon with a goid slug of brown. Or none.

The real question is brown sauce or none.

You appear to have me confused with some sort of pervert.

Bacon = brown.

It's not just red or brown but type of sausage that dictates for me.

Sausage=red

Square sausage = brown.

Mustard, French. On either Sausage or Bacon rolls, no butter.

Quite why Danny asks a leading question makes me think he is sponsored by Heinz or HP.

I'm with the decent meat and bread is all camp but a nice artisan sauce isn't a travesty.

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

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

Square = brown

Mrs Binners dispenses with both brown and red sauce and puts mayonnaise on hers.

And yet I still married her, despite this.

I'm guessing that mixing brown sauce and honey might produce something a bit like barbecue sauce. Which no doubt is just as much of an abomination as the other sauce options according to you lot.

Surely these days we need to embrace our inner Merkan and put maple syrup on our sausage waffles. Call yourselves hipsters.

In some parts brown sauce is called "fruit" sauce, but presumably in wee Scortland that would put off the customers.

It's a bit of a misnomer as it isn't a sausage at all, more a sort of minced pork burger, but square instead of round.

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

Jesus wept.

Lorne is beef.

You occasionally get a square object that pretends to be square but it is NOT square sausage.
