I ask for HP or tomato ketchup please.

Asking for red sauce or brown sauce is just WRONG

AIBU?

I don't ask for sauce. It's chavvy.

It's red sauce and brown sauce and I don't care what brand it is.
If I wanted to sound posh I'd say tomato sauce, never ketchup it's so yank!

On holiday we were offered red sauce with a burger. Said yes please. To (food-issues) DS2's horror, their red sauce is red on account of all the red peppers it's made from. Not a tomato involved.

So yes, you're right - red sauce is too vague. You need specifics with your condiments.

crackcrackcrak · 25/08/2012 18:00

Lisaro - I'm inclined to agree. I couldn't serve exp any food he didn't insist on at least 2 condiments on and I thought it was rude and a bit common. Bloody tomato sauce and salad cream with a pasty ffs then he'd lick the plate. Vomit

Does your butler bring it without being asked Lisaro? Or is it the sauce, rather than the asking, you find to be beneath you?

lisaro · 25/08/2012 18:04

actually I was being lighthearted, There was meant to be a big grin on there but as you can see with the double post, something happened with my computer. Although I don't eat them or bring my children to have them on things other than say, Hot Dogs. So do lighten up, or go back to your Daily Mail.

SoleSource · 25/08/2012 18:06

Rock salt and organic balsamic vinegar please I ask for in the local fish and chip shop.

Lol Debeez

I'm sure that's not the first time you've accused me of reading the mail Lisaro. Would like a picture of me holding the Guardian? Would that put your mind at rest.

It's an awful word to use, just because you meant it as lighthearted doesn't mean it's a nice thing to say. You sound pretty Daily Mail yourself from what you've said. Ketchup only on hotdogs darlings!

BulldogDrummond · 25/08/2012 18:09

Hassled You are right. I would not ask for red sauce if I wanted tomato sauce. If I asked for 'red sauce', I might be served with chilli sauce and I wouldn't be able to eat my meal then well, not if I poured the sauce on.

lisaro · 25/08/2012 18:09

Lol, hit a nerve, Debeez?

Erm, no. I just don't understand how feeling digusted hearing people referred to as Chavs like you're so much better than them in humor or not means I love the Daily Heil.

ThisIsNotHoneyDragon · 25/08/2012 18:15

Technically it's tomato ketchup, fruity sauce or mayo.

Only lea & perrins and hendesons relish are allowed to stand alone with their brand.

lisaro · 25/08/2012 18:17

Professional outrage! Do get over it. Anyway, I'm off, dinner time, no 'sauce'. Grin

Spuddybean · 25/08/2012 18:18

Tommy K and Red sauce are very wrong. It's ketchup or tomato sauce.

Brown sauce is just brown sauce tho, as i can't think of what it is without using a brand name - so it would be 'fruit, spice, vinegar and molasses sauce'? HP on eggs and Daddies on sausages by the way. HP is fruitier and Daddies is spicier. :)

Debeez · 25/08/2012 18:19

So no time to answer why you think I'm a DM reader? Shame. Enjoy your lunch. Have a PA Grin right back atcha!

SoleSource · 25/08/2012 18:25

I am off to read the DM. I havemonths to catch up on. It is tbe online version so not good for chip wrapping and sauce would leak through.

Brown sauce is called Chef sauce in Ireland, although I imagine it is not much used by Chefs.

ThisIsNotHoneyDragon · 25/08/2012 18:42

I have an actual hard copy of The Daily Mail in my house right now, I am positively cowering with fear at the thought of being judged. I am really really scared.
