New - The things that really annoy you

[The Bear]

I also never trust unlabelled sauces in a cafe - pretty much guaranteed to be the cheapest shit available and totally grim. I'd rather go without.

I hate cafe sauces too. Same with pubs that do food after pool/snooker matches. It's always the cheapest cash and carry rubbish that tastes shite.

Heinz ketchup is ace. All brown sauces are from Satan himself.

Have you had a go at Vegemite yet?

 

[Lupo]

I hate those sachets in cafes/pubs, perforations to see where to tear with greasy fingers just to squeeze a miniscule amount out then need another several of the things to cover the chips

 

[leedswolf]

An absolutely essential ingredient of a good fish finger butty however.

Nah. A bit of salt and some vinegar

 

[leedswolf]

It's like marmite.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It certainly is. I’m not really a fan. Only time I like marmite is the way it used as a flavouring on twiglets. Nephews and nieces seem to demolish the stuff though

When I was a kid, back in 1950 something, Ketchup didn't exist.
It was HP Sauce, sometimes lazily called Brown Sauce and Tomato Sauce.
The name Ketchup came later when the Americans got a grip on the industry.
I'm almost certain it's exactly the same product.

 

[leedswolf]

Heinz launced ketchup in the UK in 1886...

I was a kid in the 50s and 'ketchup' was available.

So Wolf Hunting meant the 1850's

One of the great catastrophes of the Second World War (along with all the people dying, of course) is that it was basically impossible to get ketchup into the UK for about 10 years, so salad cream came to the fore and it's still there now stinking up the joint, with its consistency, colour and taste of budget wallpaper paste.

Salad cream is ace.

Bear has ruined it on this forum by putting it on everything!

 

[Tredman]

I'm with T Dan, Salad cream has its place - its great on a cheese sandwich for example.

We only have own brand sauces these days, no Heinz or Daddies for us.

For me, Lidl’s ‘Batts’ range of sauces are the best of the cheapo brands - their brown sauce and their salad cream are both really nice.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It should be called Hitler Sauce as it was all his fault. Let's see how well it does in sales then.

On cheese?! Boak.

Brown sauce is probably the last brand clinging on in our house.

 

[The Bear]

Salad Cream is just another sauce amongst plenty of others. And essentially just a sweet, tangy mayo.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Sweet? It's got a fuck ton of vinegar in it

 

[The Bear]

Sweeter than mayo I mean. It has vinegar but doesn't taste of it dominantly like regular brown sauce does.
