Heinz Tomato Ketchup or HP Brown Sauce - Which Is Best ?

Ranked #2,196 in Food & Cooking, #43,403 overall | Donates to Squidoo Charity Fund

choosing the best sauce to put on a bacon sandwich is not a matter of life and death...it's more important than that! (thanks Mr Shankly)

Tomato sauce or brown sauce which is best? I believe that use of brown sauce only should be made a law and anyone using red sauce on their bacon sandwiches should be incarcerated and have the key thrown away. Brown sauce was designed for bacon.

Tomato ketchup does have its place. I enjoy it with cheese and I love it with poached eggs, but you can't beat brown sauce (particularly HP) with smoky bacon in a fresh bread sandwich.

Imagine...sitting in that cafe with a mug of hot tea or coffee. Smell the bacon.mmmmmmmmmmmmm and then taste the sauce. The ideal brunch or breakfast! Many readers of course will be familiar with the main protagonists. The red sauce heavy weight is Heinz Tomato Ketchup, and the main contender in the brown corner is HP Sauce.

Which Sauce Do You Like Best On A Bacon Sandwich?

Tomato Ketchup

poddys says:

I am not a big fan of Brown Sauce but I do like Ketchup. Often though I like Coleman's Mustard on a Bacon Butty, or if it's nice fresh bread, just butter so I don't spoil the bacon flavour.

bames24 says:

I love ketchup... especially tomato ketchup... and banana ketchup too... :)

HP Brown Sauce

KatherineWakefield says:

has to be brown sauce everytime!

resabi says:

Well, not being a ketchup fan, I have to pick brown sauce, but I'm much more likely to ask for white sauce (mayonnaise...). That's what we tend to put on BLT sandwiches in the US

Gloriousconfusion says:

Of the two, HP, but really I prefer bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich

reasonablerobinson says:

It has to be HP brown for me. Ketchup is for cheese on toast and poached eggs

    Brown Sauce. Until it's an egg and bacon sandwich, then I want Red, so where does that leave me?

    mmmm brown sauce!
  • poddys Dec 12, 2011 @ 3:41 pm | delete
    I usually only have brown sauce if my wife passes across the fattier bits of bacon and she always uses a lot of the stuff. Ketchup for me please.

    I enjoyed the debate but I am definitely a ketchup person... :)

    Well, I clearly don't fit into anybody else's group, but I'm enjoying the debate.

    Brown HP sauce for me, if the choice is between that and Heinz Tomatoe sauce, but my very favoritest is Encona Chili sauce, and Wing Yip crunchy chili prawn sauce, so, all in all, I would have to say red, but not for the expected reason.

    Fantastci another HP sauce fan! I hope people ensure they stay at Whitemoss House in Cumbria an enjoy Cumbrian bacon sandwiches with HP sauce!

    I've never heard of HP sauce before, but it sounds good. As an ex-resident of Pittsburgh though, Heinz ketchup is something I've consumed quite a bit of - my dad puts it on everything! I can't imagine it ever on bacon though.

    Aha Pamela, if you can get some you really should try it, its delicious!
