[Closed] Red sauce, brown sauce or no sauce at all.

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

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".

Let’s get one thing straight. “Red sauce” is actually called “tomato ketchup”.

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

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

Pah. I bet you say "can I get red sauce?"

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.

slowoldman +1.

Pah. I bet you say “can I get red sauce?”

Of course not. I'm not a savage.

I say " Gonny geez rid sauce oan at"

Brown.

Tomato sauce is for children.

The correct answer is both BTW

Sausage = Brown

Bacon = Red

Its rare that ketchup is the right choice

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.

Both are dead to me now after discovering Sriracha.

The correct answer is both BTW

^ 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)

Only a poor quality pork product needs sauce to mask it’s flavour of lack of.

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

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

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.

Butter?!  On sausage sarnie? Is wrong.

But brown sauce AND honey?

Red, brown and mustard (English/French) on my sausage sandwich.

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

verse butcher

William Macgonnagal?

A vogon?

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.

What are the stringy things on the sides of a banana called?  Can't for the life of me remember..

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.

What’s a square sausage ?

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.

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.

The sort of folk who try to impose arbitrary food rules on other people are idiots who can/should be ignored

What’s a square sausage?

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.

Neither for me ..but if my life depended on it Jack Daniels BBQ sauce ..so I suppose that's brown ..

so red

And yet I still married her, despite this.

Yeah, cos you're definitely that forwent their usual standards in that relationship...

bit disappointed the stw has gone so down market no caramelized onion and balsamic vingar red wine roux with finely chop chalots with grated truffles yet 🙂

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

Zigbees.

And the Danny Baker show is the best program on the radio.

Er... banana strings?

Jesus wept.

Lorne is beef.

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

Its possible to go off a person you kniw bikebouy

'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.

My Uncle lived in Kinross for the RAF (weapons designer) and I went to visit in about 87’, I ate haggis then. AFAICR it tasted nice.

What about Black Pudding, wot sorce?

Jesus wept.

Lorne is beef.

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

I'm learning a lot today! 🙂

"Bacon = Red"

Burn the witch!!!

HP brown sauce on bacon or get back in the sea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

In keeping with STW hipster stuff;

Banana ketchup FTW.

And your username name gives the game away 👍🍆🥨

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.

It really can't it ruins good food.

as said up there, marmalade is the correct answer

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

WTF, now I'm on autobold ? - guess the new forum recognises the right answer when it sees it 😂

Again ...no sauce on black pudding ...melted blue stilton is the correct answer ..

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?

Who, in the name of all that is holy, would put sauce on a jam sandwich?

The same sort of pervert that would put jam on a bacon sandwich?

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.

That could work

Wilkinson and sons Tiptree tomato sauce or home made spicy plum sauce.

HP/daddies/brown don’t cut it.

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.

And a streaky bacon sandwich with peanut butter and apricot conserve...

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?

Brown before 12, red after is my rule...

Ketchup was made for hot dog

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

... I just got a reply on that second Imgur post.

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.

Chicagoans take their hot dogs seriously.

....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.

I can confirm that the veggie dog was rather nice.

(I went to another food place for ketchup, screw you Chicago)
