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?

Yes. Definitely.

And alcohol the night before because it's great with a hangover.

I'm in!

Crumpleton · 15/10/2023 21:41

I'm with the brown sauce on bacon, red with sliced red onion on sausage.

justjuggling · 15/10/2023 21:46

Brown on both

CallieQ · 15/10/2023 21:47

Neither...

Mayo instead

Basilton · 15/10/2023 22:11

I know some people prefer tomato sauce and some brown sauce, but I have never come across anyone that thinks one goes better with sausage and the other with bacon. It is just a preference. I usually go for brown on both bacon and sausage.

Cowlover89 · 15/10/2023 22:12

Brown on either

FourStringsNoWaiting · 15/10/2023 22:13

Ketchup on both. I'm not even sure what brown sauce actually is

Lilacdressinggown · 15/10/2023 22:14

Brown only. On everything.

Buffypaws · 15/10/2023 22:24

I’d have either on both but if I could only have one on each I’d agree with OP

HardcoreLadyType · 15/10/2023 22:27

Brown sauce on both.

Unless I fancied ketchup, which would also be okay on both.

But most times brown sauce.

It depends on whether it’s fruity brown sauce or normal brown sauce?

The perfect sausage sarnie is ...
Thick white bread with a bit of a crust
Good, even layer of butter
Tomato ketchup spread thinishly on both slices of bread
Two well done sausages straight from either, the frying pan or the oven, sliced in half lengthways and carefully placed on prepared bread.
Top layer of bread placed on top & gently squished (but not too much) on top of sausages.
Try not to scoff to quickly 😛

However, in the unlikely event that there are cold leftover sausages in the fridge, the procedure is exactly the same EXCEPT it must be a thinish layer of Daddies sauce.

Red on everything brown sauce is horrible

Dijon mustard on a sausage sandwich, no sauce at all on a bacon sandwich, but ideally a fried egg.

This comes closest although English mustard please, none of that vinegary French rubbish.

Ketchup is only for scrambled eggs or chips.

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

This

LeefsPrings · 15/10/2023 23:16

PurpleChrayne · 15/10/2023 19:24

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

Yep Grin

SleepingStandingUp · 15/10/2023 23:17

Brown on both unless there's an egg and then it's red.

Growlybear83 · 15/10/2023 23:19

HP sauce is the food of the devil, but any sauce on bacon or sausages should be illegal!

Agreed

TLDRfuckers · 15/10/2023 23:23

Your husband is correct.

though sausages & actual tomatoes are nice together, ketchup is wrong, mustard is perfect but for a sandwich it has to be brown

technically a good bacon sandwich doesn’t need any sauce tbh but red over brown if you must.

Wolvesart · 15/10/2023 23:25

Traditionally it’s brown sauce with bacon and tomato ketchup with sausage. However, it’s really just whatever you like. Brown sauce is a bit vinegary and ketchup is great.

ChocolateIsntTheSameAnymore · 15/10/2023 23:27

Brown only

But i also love French mustard on sausage sandwich. And a roast chicken /beef/gammon/pork

Pollyannaatemyjelly · 15/10/2023 23:28

Both wrong. Sauce has no place on bacon.

AdaColeman · 15/10/2023 23:29

Mayonnaise on bacon sandwich, mustard on sausage sandwich.

Brown sauce on cheese on toast.

Shade17 · 16/10/2023 07:49

Brown on both but has to be Branston Fruity. HP is just watery piss.
