Ketchup or brown sauce?

[TT-ONR-NRN]

Very simple question.

Ketchup
Brown Sauce

When it comes to a bacon roll or a breakfast wrap (god, I miss when McDonald’s did those), which are you going for?

(There is no neither option. If you hate both, pick which you hate least, or you can always skip the poll )

Ketchup on bacon isn't nearly as scrumptious as plain, unless the bacon has been cooked by someone who accidentally paused their timer, but it's better than slathering it in brown gunk.

 

[Iskra]

Brown for bacon, red for sausage

 

[E27007]

Brown for bacon, brown for sausages.
Mayonnaise for chips (try it) !
My favourite the Greggs morning-only offer deal of a drink and bacon roll or bacon baguette.

@TT-ONR-NRN. You are Danny Baker and I claim my free bacon roll / sausage sandwich.

 

[Bantamzen]

Brown sauce all the way.

 

[PsychoMouse]

Mayonnaise and black pepper on bacon. English or a strong German mustard on sausage.

 

[Mag_seven]

Brown for me an not just any old brown sauce - it has to be particular brand.

 

[nlogax]

Neither. I'm not a monster.

 

[yorksrob]

More an egg roll for me nowadays, but tommy k.

 

[Dr Day]

Both together

Likewise here!

 

[Whistler40145]

Brown Sauce all the time

 

[DarloRich]

I hope you paid Danny Baker for the royalties! You did miss the crucial no sauce at all option mind!

My answer is: Depends what's left in the cupboard

 

[birchesgreen]

Brown (though i don't mind red). Has to be out of a glass bottle though, those squeezy plastic bottle variants are the urine of Satan.

I've not had one of these.

What's a typical reaction from cafe/train etc. staff if one asks for 'no sauce please'?

Does almost everyone have it "with" sauce?

No, many have it without sauce, including me many a time. The only reason I didn’t include it as an option is I’m not trying to find out how people have their bacon rolls, I’m simply wanting to know which sauce is preferred. It’s a famous Great British debate.

 

[Lost property]

It doesn't make any difference really, ketchup or brown, whatever is available.

There again, depending on the outlet and server, when posed the "red or brown ? "....the KISS principle is alive and well, try saying "ketchup please "....more than once I've received a "wot ? " reply.

Mayonnaise on fries....essential !...but, only if it's the genuine article from Germany / Holland / Belgium, which can obtained in the UK I'm pleased to say.

Brown for bacon, red for sausage

Other way around!

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

Other way around!

Agreed. Plus mustard for the sausage

 

[Gloster]

I don’t like bacon rolls anyway, but I think I would apply the same rule as I do to similar products. If the filling is good quality I am not going to ruin the taste by smothering it in something and if it is poor quality I am not going to eat it at all.

 

[AlterEgo]

Red sauce for both. Brown sauce is for bubble and squeak.

 

[150249]

Very close. Probably brown sauce but ketchup is up there. I say that but they are the only two I have. Can't have mayonnaise because of allergies.

Brown sauce with classic elements of a full English, ketchup with chips

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

What an awful way to ruin bubble and squeak, and that’s as someone who typically likes brown sauce

Can we do a poll on whether cream or jam goes first on cream teas? We'll have Cornwall and Devon declaring war by midnight

Which is ridiculous. People should just do for themselves what they prefer and leave others to do what they want

 

[ChrisC]

I don’t eat very much brown sauce and very rarely ketchup but for me it’s definitely brown sauce for bacon. I also like brown sauce on pork pie and black pudding. Mustard for sausages. As someone who uses very little brown or red sauce I would rather pay more and buy small glass bottles of a premium brand instead of large plastic bottles from the supermarket. Wilkin and Sons of Tiptree in Essex do very good brown sauce and ketchup. My favourite used to be Adnams of Southwold but they no longer sell them. I understand that Adnams sauces were manufactured by Stokes Sauces near Woodbridge in Suffolk, which are now available in many branches of Waitrose.

I'll occasionally have ketchup on a bacon roll, but I prefer them without. I'm not a big fan of brown sauce, but if I'm having sausage in a roll I'll quite happily have it with barbecue sauce if I have any in the house.

Calling ketchup "red sauce" should be on the "Things you would ban" thread, and that includes Danny Baker.

You'll need to find a new name for brown sauce then - if it's fair to name one by its colour, then it's fair to do the same for all of them. Not sure I want 'white sauce' on my sandwich though!
