    i like HP, empty some sarsons into it and give it a good shake. similar to the sauce you get in scottish chippies.

    anyway im bloody hungry now. :(

    In Edinburgh, they ask you if you want salt and sauce. It's salt and vinegar everywhere else in Scotland though.

    Tell ya what is great stuff on everything. Helmans make this stuff which is a mix of mayonaise and mustard..triffic!
    I stole it off a space ship.

    As has already been affirmed, brown sauce for grilled or fried meat (sauasage, bacon), ketchup for anything else (chips, egg, pies).
    Though try mixing red and brown sauce together 50:50 for your chips.
    Also try mixing tandoori powder into red sauce for topping grilled frankfurters.
    Salad cream and Branston pickle is another weird mixture that goes well with burgers/BLTs/sausage sarnies IF there's some salad in there too.
    You can mix mayo and mustard yourself for ham sandwiches. And put more mustard in it than Helmans do.

    Yep, used to do the HP + vinegar trick before they started selling Rowats in the shops. It tasted similar-ish, but not quite as nice.
    Rowats supplied the sauce to the chippies as a thick concentrate, to which the chippie owner just needed to add water. Sometimes got bottles of the 'real-deal' from my mate. :D

    Rowats also supplied vinegar to chip shops as a concentrate, and IIRC there was an incident where one chippie worker forgot to dilute the vinegar and several customers ended up in hospital. :o

    you must be able to get it at a cash and carry? or just order from them direct?

    you don't need a license to be a fish and chip supplier. :)

    the other thing i miss from scotland it the bread, the proper long sliced stuff.

    Well I may be biased on this, as a coeliac, my access to brown sauce is rather limited - there is only one brand, unless I use fruity sauce from Sainsburys. No HP. No Daddys (my fave) and gluten free brown sauce is very expensive.

    So I end up making do with ketchup - its just not the same on a bacon buttie!!

    We lived in smallish town - the nearest cash & carry was in Edinburgh, which was about 50 miles away. :sad:

    I miss Scottish morning rolls. Still crispy from the oven. With bacon, flat sausage, and broon sauce...

    Shit, now I'm starving, and it's over 500 miles to the nearest Scottish baker! :lol:

    No sauce for me please, I find it overpowers anything that you eat so it just tastes like the sauce. I'll stick to me mayo.

    slightly off topic, but my missus makes a "seafood" sauce by mixing tomato ketchup with salad cream. Lovely on prawns over a jacket potato :smile:

    Isn't that part of the recipe for prawn cocktail sauce?

    [edit] Yep, just had a look. Add Worcester sauce, Tabasco sauce, cayenne pepper, and lime juice to that and you'll have a prawn cocktail sauce. :)

    Aye, that's how I've always made prawn cocktail. Avocado, prawns, prawn cocktail... scrummy. :smile:

    no its just ketchup and mayo, all that other stuff isn't necessary, just a chefy thing of adding extra ingredients to everything. :p

    yeah you buy it in 2 litre bottles to last you.

    been looking over the net, either the recipe is just brown sauce and 50% water (likely considering how tight the scots are) or 50% vinegar. :-D

    True - if it's a fried breakfast and it's before midday, then no sauce. I think that's my mum's rule. After midday it's no longer breakfast, so pad it out with some extras like chips or fried potatoes and get some sauce on it too.

    Done that, or worcestershire sauce. Though now I like to add a dash of olive oil and let them stew a bit, and I find the sauce goes super-sticky.

    My brother does that too. Another essential ingredient (and, to many, the 'third sauce') - Sharwood's Sweet Chilli.

    I put a tablespoon of mustard in mine - has to be Colmans English though.

    Half a teaspoon of Madras curry power don't half give 'em kick!

    And an absolute must is a good nob of butter just as they start simmering. Stir for about three minutes and the sauce goes really thick and gooey. Even a 10p can of beans tastes great after that.

    Brown (HP) sauce on bacon. Red (Branston or Heinz) sauce on sausage.

    I'm always in a dilemma when I get a bacon / sausage / egg sandwich as I can never determine the best sauce to use on this combo.

    2 slices home made bread (cut thick) toasted.
    6 rashers bacon
    Bacon cooked till its blackened and stiffer than a nerds Johnson at a cosplay meeting
    2 large dolops of Hellman's real mayonnaise
    Fresh ground pepper

    combine all the above between the 2 pieces of toasted bread.
    While consuming allow juices/mayo to run freely down chin onto shirt.

    Wash down with some really strong tea.

    Make mouth slapping "AHHHHH" noises after each mouthful of tea.

    Repeat as desired.

    All very good, apart from the blackened bacon bit... I like mine juicy/fatty. :smile:

    I can't even swallow Mayo, it literally makes me vomit. Even if there's a spec of it on something I'm eating it's ruined and I can't eat it. Mustard comes a close second to that as well. My dislike of mustard could stem from the time my gran wedged a spoonful colemans hot in my mouth for swearing when I was about 5 years old though.

    So I threw the jar over the backyard wall, pity it didn't hit a passing student :D

    Last time I was at Maccy's back in England I got a double cheeseburger and asked for no Mayo, mustard or pickles, and got all 3. I was most displeased and a little drunk at the time so I launched the pickles all over the place and mushed the burger onto the inside of the window, whilst randomly swearing about useless morons not getting my order right.

    My friend who was with me at the time thought it was hilarious, but later that night my best mate said I was a dick for doing that......I didn't think so.

    Fastfood people NEVER get my order right, there's always something I don't want or something missing :lol:

    MacDonald's don't put mayo in their burgers (I wish they did... one of the reasons I prefer Burger King is because they do)... they only put mayo in McChicken Sandwiches and Fillet-o-Fish.

    Can you tell that I eat a fair bit of crap? :grin:

    People who complain about the way fast food places prepare their food annoy me.....my ex wife was one...we'd drive up to the drivethough and she would start.

    "I want a number 3 with Dr Pepper, easy on the ice, no pickles, mayo and mustard, mayo on one bun mustard on the other, no cheese, 2 ketchup's and napkins."

    Then Me...

    Double cheeseburger with diet coke.

    Er, why didn't you take it back to the counter and ask them to give you what you ordered?

    Or were you scared that for your trouble you'd get an extra topping of phlegm on the replacement burger?

    ...and they got it on my cheeseburger? That's just adding insult to injury that is, well the Maccy's was in Byker, the trampy little bitch that served me probably did it on purpose cos' I wasn't wearing a pair of Adidas tracky bottoms with a Nike cap, Burberry shirt and a Berghaus jacket on top in summer, and I didn't start my order with "Here!" and end it with "How!".

    I repeat the Maccy's was in Byker, so yes I was extremely afraid of extra "Special Sauce" :D

    My girlfriend used to work at a Sonic (burger place over here) when she was younger. I asked her if that was true/happened a lot...she said yes they always spat on annoying customers burgers....FOOD for thought.
