AIBU to have never tried bread sauce?

[Adogwithabone]

A heated discussion with my friend on what makes a Christmas dinner better than a Sunday roast. To me, obviously it's the pigs in blankets followed by shredded Brussel spout (sauteed in bacon, chestnuts and lashings of butter).

She said. Oh no, It's the bread sauce. What? A sauce of bread!? Is it a thing!?

She said it's torn up bread all mushed together with milk... Sounds appealing...
AIBU to not even want to try it?

Bread sauce is amazing! You do need to like cloves though.

I've never had it either.

Don't hold your breath.
A pile of gloop.

Or bread and butter pudding for that matter.

I've never had it either. Sounds vom.

you need to do lots to the milk...steep in some sliced onions, cloves, nutmeg, plenty of S&P, then add the bread and heat it altogether very slowly until it's almost solid, then I let it down with double cream to a dropping consistency

Just warm it in the microwave on the day, and make sure you reserve some for dipping the pigs in blankets in
Also it's amazing in a sandwich, it helps to kep the sliced meat stuck together :o

It sounds vom but it tastes divine.

I always thought it sounded horrible until I tried it aged about 30. Now we always have it at Christmas- it’s amazing.

Never tried it either.

Looks repulsive.

Its beautiful

I've never had it either but my friend always has a sandwich of bread sauce at Xmas. I know, it sounds very wrong.

Why wait for Christmas? I have bread sauce with a roast dinner throughout the year.

You're not BU (I met someone the other day who had never tried hot water with honey and lemon!) but I love it.

I don't do it with cloves, I just simmer milk with whole peppercorns, bay leaf and onion, then after that retain the milk only and stir in the bread

You are not missing anything. It is disgusting

Oh, I love it, could eat it by the bucketful.

Never tried it either! Looks so revolting

I love it. As does DH. We never make it though as he is vegetarian ( not vegan obviously) so I never think to make it except at Christmas

Bread sauce with sausages and gravy. Delicious.

I have never tried any, and no wish to do so! I am not usually "funny" with food, but that is one thing I don't want to try. My local bakers offers free bread pudding or a doughnut if you buy a sandwich and a hot drink - I have never had the bread pudding, and never will.

you need to do lots to the milk...steep in some sliced onions, cloves, nutmeg, plenty of S&P, then add the bread and heat it altogether very slowly until it's almost solid, then I let it down with double cream to a dropping consistency

That does make it sound quite tasty actually but a lot of effort to make!
Can you buy it in the shops? I've not seen it or seen it on a menu at a restaurant. But then again I've never been looking out for it.

Bread sauce is the BEST thing EVER!!! I can't believe you've never had it!!!! ??? It's been part of our Christmas my whole life!! [santa]🎄

It is revolting. Looks like a lump of thick puke and tastes pretty much the same.

I tried it for the first time last year, it was as horrible as I'd always imagined.

It's fabulous! Never have chicken or pheasant without it! I have a very easy recipe - stud a shallot with cloves and put in half a saucepan of milk and bring to boil. Add breadcrumbs and seasoning and let it simmer for a bit until it thickens (not too much or it will be gloopy). Add cream for a special occasion.

Shop bought is not the same - much too oniony!
