    I only possess brown sauce to put in the occasional bacon sarnie just as I only have tomato sauce to use in making barbecue sauces.

    However, I do have at least 4 different types of mustard and 5 different types of chutney which I use fairly regularly.

    My Christmas day breakfast:
    tomato sausage, black pudding - has to be a slice of the 'big' pudding rather than the 'sausage ring' type IYKWIM - both grilled and put in a granary roll and topped with brown sauce.

    I I don't 'get' vinegar on fish though.
    Vinegar is for chips. A squeeze of lemon is better on the fish.

    Do you still get the tablet to add to the dried peas?

    My OH who moved here from the South had never seen mushy peas.
    Or black pudding.
    Or tomato sausage.
    I think you do still get the tablet with dried peas. I actually often use frozen mushy peas for convenience, they are just pre-soaked before freezing but still have that authentic (non-tinned) taste when cooked. They take about half an hour, and have a mushier texture if you add some bicarbonate of soda to them.

    I love black pudding. Although it is regarded as a northern delicacy, it is from many places. Ulster and Orkney black pudding is rather good too. Also, I was in Spain in January and in a local restaurant had the Murcian platter, which was various regional sausages, including a local morcilla, their black pudding.

    We use a local butcher who makes all his own sausages, sometimes including a very good tomato sausage. Wife isn't keen though.

    Tomato ketchup. On chips with salt and vinegar. Still eaten with the fingers.:)
    Only time I have sauce.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Totally agree about mustard! But sprouts, I could eat a whole plate full of them!

    Really? You think so?
    We may have to resort to handbags at dawn to resolve this. :D
    Are you up for it? ;)
