Bread sauce - yay or nay?

[ThisNight]

So I've never made, or indeed eaten bread sauce, but wondering whether to give it a try this year - I don't eat turkey, or much dairy really so can't see the appeal of thickened milk. However I do like to please my guests.

So, tell me wise ones, is bread sauce a deal breaker for you?

I watched a friend make it once. Onion poked with cloves, bunged in warming milk for what looked like hours. Then bread mushed into the milk. The whole thing looked hell in a jug.

I only took a little bit to be polite.

It was bloody lovely.

Never had it since. Not sure my hob can do the low temp required for all the onion sitting in warmish milk bit. She had an aga which does... magic and mysterious way of cooking.

It's bloody lovely and the best thing about a poultry roast

Yay! My DH's family never used to eat it until the first year I spent Christmas with them. DH told his mum I considered it an absolute must have so she made some especially for me and now the whole family is hooked!

Definitely not, it reminds me of vomit.

I make mine quite spicey with nutmeg, allspice and cloves, and stir in a bit of cream at the end, it's wonderful stuff.

Oh now come on, JustCallMeKate.

That really isn't fair to vomit.

No. just no.

Yes! I like a blob with my dinner but only really make it for the lovely Christmas leftovers sandwiches, it's the glue.

Kid mixing onions with milk and soggy bread is enough to make anyone vom I mean, even in the pic you posted it looks like something regurgitated. Who would want a jog/dish of vomit like substance on their table 😳 Ewwwww.

I'll be making it for the first time this year. My Dh does all the Christmas cooking normally but I don't trust him to make bread sauce right. My dm does the Delia one and it's amazing.

I suspect the baby and I will be the only ones willing to eat it though .

I like it homemade. Packet breadsauce is just Wrong.

Mum never studded an onion with cloves, but chopped the onion and added the cloves separately. Then you have to fish out all the cloves before serving, and there's always one which goes missing...

Yay but only if it's Delia's. That is divine.

All other types are vile.

Its a yay from me too, but not too thin

No, never. Bleuch - horrible, horrible, horrible.

Yes, yes, yes!! It's an absolute must.

No no no no no no no.

Yes yes and thrice yes...

Definitely.
