Sauces. And the class system.

[TealFanClub]

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 ??

Tramps toes!

Talc i don't know what you do for a living but based upon my observations over time you should be making people laugh in some form!

Oh. I thought soil would turn out to be those poncy skidmarks they do on the plate in restaurants on Masterchef.

Salad cream.

Buckets.

On everything.

'Ere...
Soil...

Ooh yes, Salad cream v wc. Mc people use mayonnaise.

ketchup pre cum

I love sauces, cheap, expensive or home made. There is a time and place for them all.

Goofy - you're too kind.

I'd be hard pushed to raise a titter in my office - they're all to busy browsing the Avon catalogue.

too busy.

What about malt vinegar for chips when there is no fish on the plate?

YesThisIsMe

Not the wrongness thread AFAIK - another one about a place on the Isle of Wight that allegedly served McDonalds sauce on the tables.

What about Scottish Chippie Shop chips with 'salt and sauce'

(and a deep fried mars bar on the side)

That's proper posh, that is

I live for a sauce me. No Sunday lunch is complete without cranberry, mint, horseradish and three types of mustard. Don't care what meat is served, I always have the lot plus white pepper and black pepper. I also keep a bottle of Reggae Reggae in my handbag. Obvs upper middle class.

the sauce is either red or 'broon' and is 85%vinegar to 15% colouring, I believe...

What an absolutely horrible thread!

Ha! A busy office then talc

Oh god... I explained above, as have others fatmomma it's about another thread, it's all (really obviously) tongue in cheek.

Ffs

I saw the other thread.

Didn't like that one either.

It's the linking it to class I really hate. I LOVE salad cream, I hate mayo (common). I love Brown Sauce, I hate Ketchup (common). And I have a posh voice which makes others frequently pigeon-hole me.

"oh me, I'm really common, right!"

"Oh, I'm so well spoken, it defines me"

It's all bollocks!

Proud lover of ketchup and salad cream. I consider it classy because I buy Heinz -then hide it and give the kids tesco own brand because they use bucketloads of it-

We had a barbecue (for 40 ) here today.

I wanted to decant the sauces into ramekins for the tables, but was overruled.

One of said sauces was Salad Cream; a favourite of the children's for ensaladilla Rusa (ups ponce factor).

Mustard powder to be made up
Salt and Pepper
Mustard powder added to ww vinegar sugar etc to make a salad dressing
fresh horseradish
gravy

this is all

except when on holiday or in the company of strangers

... if we were to decant all the sauces into little ramekins then we'd have to enter the double-dip arena?!? shudders It is my opinion the Brits, on a whole, do not take the grossness of double-dipping seriously enough in comparison to other nationalities... it's a matter that hasn't hegemonically adapted in the British psyche yet! ;D

Using pickled onion vinegar on your chips?

Brown sauce is frightfully common

Mum, is that you?

Is Tiptree Brown Sauce considered common, or allowable, as it's by Royal Appointment?

My ketchup musings are as follows:

Shared bottle on table with crusty bits around top - yuck
Stokes ketchup - aspirational
Sachets - acceptable if plenty of them
Silver dish with spoon - hmm, only if presentation of ketchup is pristine ie has just been dispensed for our table's use only
Individual ramekins of recently-dispensed sauce specially selected by the customer- my preferred choice, as long as quantity is sufficient

The above only applies when eating out. At home I suffer the indignity of the crusty bottle.

What about garlic mayo?
