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?

My OP was what do you like that you can't believe other people don't like. It was just a bit of fun. If you have no contribution to make then don't post? HTH

I started doing bread sauce for the first time two years ago and everyone said 'Why the hell are you bothering with this stuff? It's awful.'

I was determined we must all be missing something and just needed to give it a go, but I have to admit they were right. It's at best pointless and at worst, really grim. I probably won't bother this year.

Actually @percythewitch the OP's question about why she hates coriander and thinks it tastes of washing up liquid is an interesting one and one to which there is a simple answer: turns out it's down to a genetic variant in taste receptors. About 20% of people think coriander tastes of soap.

I had never tried it before moving to the UK and let's just say it was love at first bite! SO good.

I adore it I've just purchased three tubs of it !!!

I am 59 and have never had bread sauce. Don't intend to either, it looks and sounds repulsive.

BarryTheKestrel · 20/12/2021 19:08

Bread sauce truly is incredible. Only me, DH and my great aunt like it though, so I make it and we all have huge dollops and then leftovers in sandwiches whilst everyone else looks on in disgust

Bread sauce is the highlight of my year. Post gastric band I can't eat bread any more so some lovely person invented liquidized bread.

tigger1001 · 20/12/2021 19:12

No bread sauce for me - looks like vomit.

Love cranberry sauce though. I make my own, and am the only one in the house who likes it, but have it on sandwiches etc

Thelikelylass · 20/12/2021 19:21

I'm with you OP and the weird thing is - I only eat it ONCE a year but I love it so much! It's like there is a little unwritten rule in my head that I have to save this very special thing for ONCE a year. It's available everywhere, every day...

satci · 20/12/2021 19:21

My husband hates it. I realised recently he hasn't tried it. It's bloody lovely

ArblemarzipanTFruitcake · 20/12/2021 19:22

I love it! The first thing I do on Christmas morning is stud an onion with cloves!

fitflopqueen · 20/12/2021 19:23

We are having Xmas lunch with parents this year and my kids - well 24/28 - have a plan to take plenty of tupperware so that we can bring home the left overs including bread sauce which my son loves on a sandwich with all the other bits.

IgneousRock · 20/12/2021 19:24

Bread sauce is the best.

MrsTophamHat · 20/12/2021 19:25

As someone who has never ever had it - what do you do with it? Does it go over the turkey in place of gravy?

Not how I eat it - I dollop a load on my plate as I would with, e.g. mayonnaise, and take it on my fork along with whatever I'm having a forkful of.
MrsTophamHat · 20/12/2021 19:29

Thanks @ArblemarzipanTFruitcake , i mught give it a try as the ingredients sound good. So you would have it like apple sauce with pork, and have turkey gravy as well?

We actually have goose, not turkey, but yes. I make an orange sauce/gravy using goose stock and meat juices and the bread sauce takes the role of condiment.

Bread porridge just takes up gut room that should be for roast potatoes and pigs in blankets. It's slurry.

ArblemarzipanTFruitcake · 20/12/2021 19:33

@MrsTophamHat I recommend Delia Smith's recipe if making your own - you can't go wrong with it.

Bellafrenum · 20/12/2021 19:37

Saaaaaaame!!

Unsure33 · 20/12/2021 19:41
