I can't understand how anyone doesn't like bread sauce.

It's delicious, second best thing on a roast dinner.

What do you enjoy that you can't believe others don't?

@phlaps, nope just a northerner. Gravy is life. Been making gravy middle sarnies since well before Ross Geller attempted to steal the northerners copyright on that idea 🤣

@RonniePickering

Yep texture here too. Same for those lady fingers in a trifle 🤮
I can't do trifle with sponge in for this reason! Even thinking about it now is making me a bit nauseous! 🤢

OP If it's so good, why not eat it year round?

Ooh *@DrCoconut* I wouldn't bother within the gluten gap free one, I could only get GF last year from M&S and it was all kinds of horrible. Maybe make your own. With GF bread?
Homemade with GF bread or totally fine. All the standar problems of GF bread don’t matter in a sauce.

No to summer pudding.
No to panzanella (?) - soggy bread salad to you and me.

But bread sauce? Food of the GODS. And even better cold, in the Christmas Sandwich on Christmas day evening. Can't wait.

pairsinparis · 20/12/2021 18:04

@pairsinparis Good for you. Look forward to you posting a similar message in July.

Agreed. I don't like the texture of bread in summer puddings and don't like soggy food in general. If I eat baked beans on toast I have to put the beans next to the toast rather than on it because I don't like the bread going soggy. But bread sauce doesn't have a texture like that. It's more like porridge texture.

Hey I tell you what's also great on a roast, but only roast lamb, onion sauce
Oh yes! I love bread sauce too.

Thanks for clarifying you bloody great bore[/quote]
Oh I don't know, it seems obvious and yet you have managed to write a post about it. It's got a gross texture, like sick. Would you prefer that sort of answer?

samsmum2 · 20/12/2021 18:09

I have bread sauce all year round with roast chicken - it's flippin' delicious and wouldn't do a Christmas roast without it.

aliceca · 20/12/2021 18:14

This is one of the things from my childhood Christmas I have gladly left behind.

thatsallineed · 20/12/2021 18:17

I have never had bread sauce.

Ajl46 · 20/12/2021 18:18

Bread sauce is revolting - can't stand the texture. Best parts of a Christmas dinner for me are 1. Turkey 2. Pigs in blankets 3. Roast potatoes 4. Petit pois 5. Carrots 6. Gravy 7. Cranberry sauce. Pretty much in that order! 🎄🎅🏻🍽

pairsinparis · 20/12/2021 18:23

@lesenfantsdelesperance

Absolutely. It was the patronising message and the 'hth' that I was whinging about.

I@Ajl46

Can't believe petit pois are ranking higher than gravy

God, you’ve just reminded me of Xmas dinner in the 70’s where DM would slave over her gelatinous bread sauce, put me off for life.

Agree about Summer pudding too - what is that about?

aliceca · 20/12/2021 18:28

I LOVE summer pudding.

dittheringdoldrums · 20/12/2021 18:35

I just had to Google bread sauce because I don't think I've ever had it! Looking at the ingredients I don't think I'd enjoy it tbh (because I don't like bread much so it's probably not made for my sort Grin) but I can see why people would like it.

labazslovesliving · 20/12/2021 18:36

i do like as long as the cloves are not overdone but not eating meat not sure ever what to have it with

inmyslippers · 20/12/2021 18:36

Never tried it

percythewitch · 20/12/2021 18:40

[quote pairsinparis]@ExquisitelyDecorated it tastes just like washing up liquid to me. Why would that be? [/quote]
I have no idea why that would be.

How can we answer that.

People like different things, yet you find that patronising?

miltonj · 20/12/2021 18:42

I love it with all my heart ❤️

sugarapplelane · 20/12/2021 18:43

Bread sauce is gorgeous but it has to be the real thing, homemade and all that jazz.
None of that crap packet bread sauce mix - urghhhh!
