So let's recap to where we were with sources. Generally all extra sauces placed on the table in a pub are naff.
Mayo escapes as its continental
Ditto salad dressing but ONLY if individual oil and vinegar.
Tomato ketchup ?? Only if outside
Fish sauce ??
Soy sauce ??

Sweet chilli sauce was ok I believe.

I was just about to ask where aioli fits in? That's got to be middle class at least?

ShoeJunkie · 05/07/2015 22:48

What about artisanal tomato ketchup?!

TheCowThatLaughs · 05/07/2015 22:49

Brown sauce is frightfully common
And that squeezy mustard is absolutely beyond the pale

TealFanClub · 05/07/2015 22:49

It's cheap and nasty not to put your sauce in a proper dish , just,pot , jug . And don't Nick it from
Maccys

Does context come in here? I mean bunging a load of sweet chilli sauce on chips instead of ketchup is definitely naff, right?

I have almost never done this.

Ketchup should be served in a plastic tomato.

ShoeJunkie · 05/07/2015 22:54

Or is it catsup?

Scholes34 · 05/07/2015 22:54

Brown sauce for sausages if served with mash, but tomato ketchup if sausages are in a hot dog roll. Brown sauce ALWAYS for bacon butties - tomato ketchup is far too sweet. Is brown sauce really frightfully common?

Sauce goes down in social standing immediately if you make a brilliant farting noise with the squeezy bottle.

Especially if accompanied by spatter. If the spatter reaches neighbouring diners you lose an additional three points and may have to cancel your subscription to The Guardian.

I used to have a plastic tomato sauce bottle! It was hard to clean properly though so I got rid of it Sad

Scholes34 · 05/07/2015 22:54

Anyone for Henderson's?

TheCowThatLaughs · 05/07/2015 22:55

Scholes, I'm afraid so Sad

What about the yummy garlic sauce you get with grilled chicken at Lebanese places?

Does it matter if the Lebanese place is one of the nicer Central London ones or somewhere in Acton?

Also: YADBU for using checkmarks and not informing us of how you get them to show up!

Cheby · 05/07/2015 22:55

I don't think I have ever actually seen a sauce-serving plastic tomato in real life. I've seen one on grange hill once I think. Does this make me middle class?

bikeandrun · 05/07/2015 22:56

Mustard, horse radish, tartare sauce , mint sauce all standard sauces for many traditional and classless pub meals- Sunday roasts and fish and chips, what are you on about?

GoofyIsACow · 05/07/2015 22:56

Ok, where do we stand on jus?

Or foam

Or soil

or other twattery
