Bread sauce - yes or no?

[Blablabla1984]

I've never made or had bread sauce. DH says it's amazing so I want to give it a go. From pics the consistency looks a bit lumpy though, can I blend it to make it smooth? Also, does it freeze well?

Yes,yes,yes.

I love it. DHs family claim they don't like it but that's because they have dreadful taste.

Yes! Smooth bread sauce would be wrong though. It's not supposed to be smooth.

I love bread sauce with a chicken dinner too. I don’t make from scratch and use colmans packet, i actually like it better than any i have made from scratch and it is smooth too.

OMG yes!

At the thought of bread sauce I am actually salivating! The lumps are necessary though, don't ruin a good thing

Even the thought of bread sauce makes me gag so it's a massive no from me.

Don’t blend it! It would be like baby food, yuck.

Use Delia’a recipe if you want to make it yourself, failing that Colman’s with extra butter, seasoning, cream and nutmeg has never let me down.

No, it's like eating Ready Brek with clove flavouring. Or at least my mum's is.

Oh hell yes! And agree Delia has the best recipe. I just full fat milk. Buy a proper farmhouse loaf a week before Christmas, when it's a bit stale, cut the crusts off and blend it to make crumbs in the mixer. Then freeze the crumbs in a bag ready to use whenever

I loooooooovvvve bread sauce. I do the delia one. My MIL does a packet one that gives me the rage, but she doesn't like homemade one so I have to pretend to like the packet one every other year. Do NOT blend it.

It's not supposed to be smooth.

Not that I'm one to advise - my annual Great Bread Sauce Disaster is stuff of legend, but I will not be defeated!!

Oh, this is major Bleugh to me - but members of my family love it. And wouldn't have Christmas dinner without it.

Yes, you can freeze it.

Bloody love bread sauce!! I eat a bowl full to myself every christmas because none of my family like it.

Bread sauce is delicious. Needs lots of flavour a la Delia onions , cloves etc. It is not smooth though. A thick texture. Freezes well . From the fridge afterward it is almost solid and great spread on a turkey sandwich. Have a practice run with a chicken dinner

Yes, I'd happily just eat bread sauce with all the trimmings and not bother with the turkey. I just buy it from the chiller cabinet though.

I love bread sauce! I make Mrs Beeton's recipe, infusing the milk with onion, herbs & spices. It shouldn't be too smooth, though a spoon or two of extra cream works well. It's great on turkey sandwiches too!

Soooooo nice.
I made it once with breadcrumbs from irish soda bread. Brilliant.

Oh it's delicious! Absolutely must NOT be blended smooth. Do you blend porridge? Of course not. Neither should bread sauce.

I haven't made Bread Sauce for years !

I used to stud the onion with cloves (loads of them) add peppercorns , bayleafs and heat then leave to infuse.

The onion was nice and soft , took out the cloves and liquidised the onion with the milk for added flavour .
Good breadcrumbs, butter, fresh nutmeg.

Its a faff but worth it .

I love bread sauce. Like others say - DO NOT blend it. It's really easy to make in the microwave too.

Yes!

I dont have it year round but will be making it on Christmas day.

Yes even the packet stuff where you add milk is so good. Even better cold on Boxing Day with cold cuts

Bread sauce is lovely. Put lots and lots of cloves in and DO NOT blend it!

oh YES, best thing , one of the best things, is bread sauce
