I prefer to use mostly brown sauce, with a little red and a bit of ground black pepper. And it's true, bacon butties are damn good pretty much all the time ;P Cheers, Angus mmm....bacon

My preference is brown sauce on brown bread. The brown/red sauce divide seems to pretty much mirror the traditional UK north/south divide around the Watford gap. '--8<------------------------ Ex Datis: Duncan Jones Merrion Computing Ltd

Up in Scotland I think the preferred sauce is brown. Don't ask why! Matthew Lang

I'm not very good at cooking, but expert at BBC . . . . . . . . . Bacon Butty Construction (with Heinz tomato ketchup of course !) Elaine (waddling fluffy tigress) The tigress is here :-D

Although I do like a bit of brown sauce, mustard is the way to go. What is brown sauce made from anyway? Red is tomato (well, we like to believe it is anyway). But brown is always just "Brown sauce" Or "Daddies". Whats the deal there... Pete

What exactly is a bacon buttie(y):confused: I don’t think we have those in the US. Funny thing though, I’m not sure exactly what they are but I’m sitting here drooling and my stomach is crying for bacon butties as I read everybody’s posts...I had a cup of oatmeal for breakfast.:|

When I was a child I thought it meant there was a big hole in Watford, but as a teenager I found out that it wasn't anywhere near Watford and came to the conclusion that it was a metaphorical expression to describe the divide or gulf between the north and the south. Finally as an adult I discovered, while driving to London one day, that there truely was a place called "Watford Gap" --Colin Mackay--

Crisp rashers of bacon between two buttered slices of bread. Buttie is a general term for sandwich where the bread is buttered. Chip butties and fish finger butties are particular childhood favourites. '--8<------------------------ Ex Datis: Duncan Jones Merrion Computing Ltd

Tomato or HP/Brown/Fruity Sauce. Place fried bacon and sauce between bread. Eat. Allow sauce to escape buttie, and fall onto clean white T-Shirt. -------- Variations on the theme include adding a soft fried egg (so you get egg yolk on your T-Shirt as well as sauce, and for the really adventurous, fried sausages on top of fried egg as well. -- Ian Darling "The moral of the story is that with a contrived example, you can prove anything." - Joel Spolsky

Of course, with all this talk of bacon butties, I now want a proper fry up, consisting of the following: * Bacon * Sausage * Fried or Scrambled eggs * Baked Beans * Mushrooms * Fried Tomatoes * Hash Browns * Fried Bread and/or Buttered Toast * Tomato Ketchup * Mug of English Breakfast Tea and most importantly: * Black Pudding Yum :-D -- Ian 'Heart Attack Statistic' Darling "The moral of the story is that with a contrived example, you can prove anything." - Joel Spolsky
