Red or Brown Sauce

[Steve Sellers]

Red or brown?

 

[simon field]

It's a crap software glitch! It won't let me vote for both!

Steve, I would say it depends very much on what's being 'sauced'.

For instance, a dash of red sauce does wonders for a beef & cockle smoothie whereas I do love lashings of brown sauce with my home-made rice pud.

Hope this helps

 

[Steve Sellers]

Oh yes that does help and I think you're right. It does depend on what is being sauced, and in turn the level of 'sauciness' required.

Although, do you reckon that choice of sauce is subconsciously dictated by political persuasion?

Like, sometimes I worry that I may end up voting Labour because if I run out of brown sauce I sometimes used ketchup with my bacon sangers.

I take it by red you mean tomato? haha

I have to say neither. Tomato sauce is boring (granted pretty much every other sauce has tomatoes in it). Brown sauce doesn't add any flavour.

I am more BBQ sauce (and variants) and Worcester Sauce doesn't go amiss too with certain stuff.

So I cannot vote for either.

Can I sauce these from China?

Oh a UKIP Supporter huh! I wouldnt sauce anything from China. Have you tried "bongo bongo" land?

check the sauce code.

Anyway red beats brown everytime. So versatile in cooking.

you use tomato sauce in cooking? I thought it was about making bland food taste better.

 

[Steve Sellers]

Reggae Reggae isnt bad actually. Its definitely not an all rounder like red and brown though.

Maybe by cooking he means "microwave cooking".

How many recipes call for vinegar in them? Just wondering.

 

[KM-Tiger]

If it's Balsamic, quite a lot. I wonder if that counts as brown sauce?

 

[Fred_the_frog]

Generally it's tomato sauce. If it's a bacon or sausage sandwich then brown is good too.

BBQ is perfect for most things but it depends on my mood. BBQ does wonders when you squirt it on a pasta dish... mmm.

 

[Athos_LSA]

Brown sauce all the way!!

 

[Matthew : TekHive Hosting]

I cant stand brown sauce, even the smell puts me off my food!

 

[Scott-Copywriter]

It depends on what it's being applied to, of course.

For example:

Sausages - red
Bacon - brown

And so forth.

 

[sirearl]

You mean there are other sauce's.

 

[Matthew : TekHive Hosting]

Even looking at a picture makes me go all funny

None hate both of them, prefer Encona

In a posh(ish) hotel a few years back we had a buffet breakfast with 'Oxford sauce'.

It was like a richer version of brown sauce and really amazingly lovely.

Haven't been able to find it since.

Have you looked in Oxford?

 

[leemason]

Brown on bacon sandwiches. Red with an omelette. Can't beat really cheap brown sauce! Tesco own brand is great.

 

[Steve Sellers]

Think the depends is definitely correct. See sausage sangers brown is wrong. But sausage and bacon and its the best thing since sliced bread.

Ahh, cmon guys, HP does not make a bacon sandwich, neither does other sauce!

Get some decent bacon, some lovely fresh bread and a good tasting butter/spread... you don't need any sauce, what is the point of masking the bacon taste!? A nice cup of coffee to wash it down with

 

[MikeJ]

HP me no HP!

Daddies is the Daddy when it comes to brown sauce.

For tomato/red, seek out Tiptree's sauce....

This comment is an outrage, You need to be put on trial by the sauce police and put on trial from crimes against breakfast baps

Oh yes. Decent coffee is a MUST too. In fact I cant eat my boiled egg and soldiers without coffee, it feels wrong.

Kind of like eating fish and chips without peas! It should be made a criminal offence to sell fish n chips without mushy peas.

 

[MikeJ]

When I used to work in a cafe, asking a customer if she wanted sauce on her baps was a sackable offence

 

[noo81]

In this vote i guess i'd have to go red as tomato sauce is great for cooking. Personally tho it's any hot sauce for me especially Frank's

 

[Nuno]

Did you see that cannibal 'Christian' has eaten another victim? I wonder which.... damn, sorry, wrong thread.

 

[HorseLatitudes]

I'm suspicious of anyone who has a bacon sandwich with anything other than brown sauce.

 

[HorseLatitudes]

Hang on, are people actually putting tomato ketchup in meals they're cooking?

 

[leemason]

Yes. Anywhere you use tomatoes it add a great extra flavour and sweetness.

 

[vvaannmmaann]

When my dog dog rolls in foxes crap as she does when she can - brown or red sauce works well as a smell neutraliser.I rub it in like a shampoo,then wash it off.

Have you tried it on the dog.

 

[glenwheeler]

Red all day long, its a close one 50/50 on the scoresheets

 

[Root 66 Woodshop]

Personally, I think you're all nuts!

Bacon butties with sauce?!! WTF Guys C'mon... Bacon isn't Bacon unless it's Smoked!

The crap that is served all over the country which is incorrectly called "Bacon" should be renamed Hot Ham.

Personally, I prefer Smokey Bacon with cheese, pickled onion, black pepper and salad cream.

So ner!

 

[kokospoko]

I did look for this sauce too, but coundn't find it anywhere... I live to far from Oxford to go there for sauce
