to not understand the appeal of bread sauce

[coffeelover3]

Just find it weird to put wet bread on your lovely roast dinner...???!!!!

I have a feeling that it might go back to years ago when it was used to 'bulk up' meals with leftover bread... or am I wrong...

It’s horrible.

Try it, it’s nothing like wet bread

Yuck

I lovingly make it every Christmas for DH & DS whilst trying not to be sick. It is vile stuff

Best part of Xmas dinner

You are being very unreasonable. I love bread sauce but only cheap packet stuff. My MIL thought he was treating me one time by buying luxury bread sauce from farm shop and it was horrible.

It's fabulous. Are you from the South? Everyone I know (North) loves it.

Is it a regional thing, maybe? Cos we were fed it regularly as kids. It goes brilliantly with sausage, mash and yorkshire pudding. I suspect it was to bulk things out, but I love it.

It's delicious. Buy the M&S one - it'll change your mind!

Agreed.

I’ve never had it and have never wanted too.

Northern here and can’t stand it!

I love it, but I am the only one who eats it. Is it a southern/London thing? We always had it when I was a child, and my family are all from London, but DH is northern and says it was definitely not a thing growing up.

No, it's yuck and I'm not making it this year

This. It looks like it’s been eaten once already.

Yea but it’s nothing like wet bread is it? It’s creamy and fragrant with nutmeg, bay & onion. Properly made it’s absolutely delicious with roasted meat.

Miss it desperately

I got a 'luxury' packet one the other day and it was nowhere near as nice as the bog standard cheaper packet sauce.

Northern and have never had and it certainly wasn't a thing growing up for anyone I knew.

I love it. In fact I'm wondering now why we don't have it with roast chicken all year round. I also like leftover bread sauce in my turkey sandwiches with cranberry sauce and stuffing.

It is an excuse to eat cream flavoured with nutmeg and bay. I love aromatic herbs so I love bread sauce.

Either a southern thing or a posh thing?

As with everything, the taste lies in the quality of ingredients.
If you infuse your milk properly, get really good bread and spend some time, you will get a silky and delicious result.
Any leftover infused milk can be used to make bread sauce flavoured potato gratin, or savoury porridge or pancake mix.

My husband does make it from scratch though, we don't have a packet one.

I have no strong feelings about it, if its there at a carvery for example I might have a bit, but its not something I'd bother to make at home.

I love it. No ready made or packets though, it's one thing I like to make myself.
