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?

Your husband is right.

You are insane. M

Neither. They're both revolting!

TerfTalking · 15/10/2023 19:51

Brown on bacon or sausage. Ketchup on fish and chips only. No deviation.

@ShinyPikachu

Could you not use the sausage as a barrier to prevent cross contamination?

In a sandwich/roll, no. The sauce would still touch when eating.

In a cooked breakfast, the problem is places where they just dump the beans willy-nilly. It's almost always beside the egg so I either avoid buying one at all (there are always other nice options anyway) or order mine without beans. DH once had a breakfast where the beans were all over the top of the poor egg. He doesn't eat his yolk and always gives it to me but he couldn't that day.

Brown on bacon, tomato on sausage. Anything else is just wrong.

YABU OP you are a heathen Grin

FieldInWhichFucksAreGrownIsBarren · 15/10/2023 20:05

Brown sauce on both.
Ketchup is for chips, burgers and hot dogs-everyone knows this.

Guessthevoice · 15/10/2023 20:07

He's right

Highlyflavouredgravy · 15/10/2023 20:08

Neither on either

muddyford · 15/10/2023 20:09

Brown on both. Ketchup is for removing the smell of fox poo from dogs that have rolled in it.

Simplepimplechrimple · 15/10/2023 20:10

I don't even know what brown sauce is. It wouldn't cross my mind to offer an alternative to Ketchup!

Poppysmom22 · 15/10/2023 20:12

No sauce on bacon and red on sausage

VineRipened · 15/10/2023 20:12

Mustard on a sausage sandwich
Nothing on bacon (and no butter on the bread either)

Poppysmom22 · 15/10/2023 20:13

Although this being MN and all a bit posh I was expecting a debate between bernaise and hollandaise and white or red wine for the jus

LivingTheDreamNow · 15/10/2023 20:14

Brown on both sausage and bacon. Ketchup for chips.

RattlewhenIwalk · 15/10/2023 20:14

Whichever you prefer...I raise you piccalilli 😁

gotomomo · 15/10/2023 20:14

Neither, butter is enough

FarEast · 15/10/2023 20:14

Ugh. I prefer mayonnaise.

DrinkingFreshMangoJuice · 15/10/2023 20:15

Red on both bacon and sausages. Brown is an abomination to food.

MamaDollyorJesus · 15/10/2023 20:17

Both sides buttered:

Bacon or Lorne Sausage - Brown

Link sausage shouldn't be on a roll

Black pudding & fried egg - ketchup

It's only ever called red sauce if it's from the chippy (but that raises a whole other debate about salt & sauce or salt & vinegar)

Cranberry sauce with Brie and bacon is delicious.

That's our Christmas Day breakfast.

I love HP sauce, I hate ketchup.

TheKeatingFive · 15/10/2023 19:35

Sausage has to be tomato, bacon could be either depending on mood.

This.

I can switch between ketchup and brown on a bacon butty, keepin' it fresh and all that. But brown sauce on sausage butties ventures into depravity. Hard no.

ThisNameHasChanged · 15/10/2023 20:19

You are right. I'd never have brown sauce with sausage, my OH does though. I quite like English mustard on bacon or sausage sandwich too.
