Do You Like . . . . .

[Canary42]

I know we've had a bit of a run on such questions regarding the festive period, but something I heard on the radio prompts this extra one. We might get a few comic responses :-D

The radio quote goes, "Nobody actually likes bread sauce, do they? It tastes like someone’s eaten a piece of bread, chewed it up and spat it onto your plate. Merry Christmas. ".

So folks, does anyone actually like bread sauce?

(My answer is yes incidentally.)

[Toorak]

I do - and I make my own. It’s a fiddly process to get it right :-) (onions, cloves, peppercorns, milk, cream, breadcrumbs, seasoning)

[Smowball]

Have to agree with Canary’s description lol.

[Caran]

I don't think I have ever had it!!

[maggiebee]

Never had it as just "bread sauce" but buy a packet and put it in with my other ingredients when making a meat loaf. Think I originally got the recipe on a bread sauce packet.

[Smowball]

Caran I’m not actually sure if I have either tbh - it’s just the look of it has always stuck with me.

[david small]

No, it’s neither bread, or a sauce.

[Mamyalynne]

Dislike it, I giggled last night when someone on TV said - 'Wonder who was the first person to taste bread and say - bet this would be good wet?'

[tonyav]

I have never had any I don't like the look of it. I do know someone that loves it though.

[Barsel]

I can't remember if I might have had it in the past, but it isn't something I'd think of eating these days.

A sauce has to have a flavour, david small.
I would be here all night to list the ones I can think of.
Cheese sauce by your reckoning then is cheese or a sauce
Tomato sauce " " " " is tomato or a sauce
Mustard sauce " " " " is mustard or a sauce
Chocolate sauce " " " " is chocolate or a sauce
I suspect you don't eat a very varied diet.

I make a bread sauce with every cooked poultry dinner I roast. Love studding the onion with cloves and adding to the milk as it warms. Proper cooking, no less.

Canary, I love bread sauce but I wouldn't serve it with a little yellow song bird ;)

[calmck]

Love it. So does granddaughter. Nice cold mixed with mayo on turkey sandwich. Also fried in leftover sprout, potatoes and parsnips with onion and bacon

[Arksided]

I’ve probably had some but don’t recall disliking it if…

[albaqwerty]

Don't think I've ever had it, but judging by the pictures I've seen, it doesn't look inviting.

Why call it bread sauce when it's got onions and cloves in it - to presumably add flavour? :-))
Call it onion and clove sauce and be done :D

[Toorak]

It’s called bread sauce because is made of bread (and seasoned by the other ingredients)

Duh!

[Arksided]

Mamya, that was Jason Manford, live at the Christmas Apollo.

[albaqwerty]

Did someone miss the :D ?
Duh!

Season greetings :D x

[Toorak]

:-D

[roopower]

I've never tried it, just the look of it puts me off and now I've read the quote I'm not going anywhere near it!

[oldgreyweird]

Yes, lovely stuff. The taste of Christmas.

[rowanwitch]

I make a garlicky one with Sichuan pepper and mustard. Nothing like me the traditional one but it goes really well with duck
