Settle an argument - what sauce on what meat?

Been out in the cold all day watching DS at a football tournament. Back home and the general consensus was bacon/sausage sandwiches for tea. The circle of piss argument ensues. DH thinks I'm a heathen for having brown sauce on a bacon sandwich. According to him, it's brown on sausage and red on bacon. I say it's the other way round - who's right, him or me?

BBQ or red on practically any kind of meat. Red on eggs

Brown on both. Ketchup is for children. Grin

Spicy plum ketchup on sausages. Poached egg with bacon preferably on a bagel

@Drews 100%

Mydogmybestfriend · 15/10/2023 19:20

I have red on both but my dad likes brown on both
Don't think it matters though

Oysterbabe · 15/10/2023 19:20

There is no rule. Brown on both.

AfterWeights · 15/10/2023 19:20

FFS.

Brown is for folk up north
Red anywhere south of watford gap.

It's got absolutely nothing to do with sausages or bacon.

LouOrange · 15/10/2023 19:22

But if you mean “ketchup” it can ONLY be eaten with eggs. On anything else it makes me 🤢

bellac11 · 15/10/2023 19:23

Dont forget the butter.

On both slices of the bread

FadedRed · 15/10/2023 19:23

Brown sauce (pref HP) on bacon, Branston Pickle on sausages (yes really - don’t knock it until you try it!)

UndercoverCop · 15/10/2023 19:24

Brown sauce is vile, but I'm pretty sure there were bacon and brown sauce crisps at some point which indicates it's a thing.
Good thick cut bacon, nice bread and proper butter doesn't need sauce, supermarket loaf, bog standard bacon and clover light, tomato sauce for me.
I don't think I've ever had a sausage sandwich, not massively keen on them other than in a bangers and mash or sausage and bean cassoulet type scenarios.

Whatafustercluck · 15/10/2023 19:24

Eww, neither. It's mayonnaise.

PurpleChrayne · 15/10/2023 19:24

The unspoken enemy here is calling it "red sauce." It's tomato ketchup.

R3V3NG3 · 15/10/2023 19:25

I agree with your DH, OP. 🙈

Trulywonderful · 15/10/2023 19:25

You husband is definitely correct

Sorry

NoWordForFluffy · 15/10/2023 19:25

Neither. Brown on both!

Namechangedforspooky · 15/10/2023 19:26

Neither.. Heinz firecracker sauce on both!

UndercoverCop · 15/10/2023 19:26

Oh or mayonnaise if you're making a BLT

ShinyPikachu · 15/10/2023 19:27

Brown on both unless there's an egg. No sauce on eggs ever for me. I won't order a cooked breakfast out if there's a risk of beans touching the egg.

If I have something like chicken nuggets or chips I prefer mayonnaise with those.

When I very occasionally get a ketchup craving it has to be chippy ketchup when it's runnier and more vinegary. But only on chippy chips.

Strugglingtodomybest · 15/10/2023 19:28

This has made me laugh as only last week DS1 asked me "who even eats it?" when we saw brown sauce in the supermarket.

I'll obviously have to tell him, "Northerners"!

Ketchup all day long for me, with a bit of Tabasco sauce added if it's a fried egg sandwich.

DappledThings · 15/10/2023 19:28

Drews · 15/10/2023 19:11

Brown on either bacon or sausage. Red sauce can get in the bin.

This. And mayonnaise for chips. Red sauce has no place on anything in my book.

Azaeleasinbloom · 15/10/2023 19:29

Mayo and dijon on bacon
English mustard with sausage.

DH says only butter with bacon; ketchup with sausage .

Brown sauce is 🤮

BreatheAndFocus · 15/10/2023 19:30

Brown sauce on bacon, red sauce or/and mustard on sausages.
