Red Sauce or Brown Sauce?

Stephentlig · 2010-04-19 19:24:31

So here it is, I live in Doondalk and in all the restauraunts I visit, none put brown sauce on display, just red and occasionally the odd bottle of mayo might be seen. are we Irish people just not into that Brown Sauce? Pax Christi Stephen <3

Depends on what it is you're eating it with.

Red for some and brown for others.

It depends what your eating IMO, if your eating a steak or something, brown is nicer.

Red for chips and fast food etc..

Brown sauce has to be 'hp' though!!

Yeah it all depends on what you're eating. Red for chips or waffles and on burgers. Brown for dinners with mash...like with sausages and a fried egg...Only drawback is, brown sauce (has to be Chef) has such an overpowering taste it tends to drown out other flavours.
Red sauce is really good for helping to prevent prostrate cancer lads..just thought I'd share that little bit of info.

That place has sucked since my family moved out.

YR brown sauce. There is no alternative. All the rest are vinegar with sugar.

Brown sauce is feckin disgusting! What is it actually made of?

Mayo FTW

And all this brown with breakfast stuff is nonsense. Nothing better than ketchup on a fried egg sandwich or breakfast roll!
