Calling it Brown or Red is more of a Northern thing in the UK, I would say. Us more refined Southerners call it Tomato Ketchup or HP sauce.

Brown for bacon (when I ate it before), and Red for chips.

By chips I take it you mean French fries otherwise it would have been "crisps" (what we refer to as chips) and that sound nasty.

Ahh yes, of course...french fries to you! But we have sauce flavoured "chips" over here Danny, so no need to add anything to them.....apart from a wastebasket. They are vile!

I have gotten away from "chips" or crisps atm. As well as my favorite food which the pandemic proved that over usage was indeed bad, but come on that's a big sacrifice, I mean giving up your favorite snack. Unfortunately, they have about a million calories each and are responsible most of the weight I gained during lock down.


No sauce required!

I'm with you here. Unless, of course, it's Daddies Sauce instead of HP

Well not really, not quite. We have French Fries too, but they are skinny little things, really quite nasty in my opinion. What we usually mean by chips are the thick cut ones, sometimes called steak cut. Nice chunky ones, perfect with fried battered fish, or a piece of steak or gammon.

Yes our French fries take many shapes. We still call the thick ones either Home Fries or Steak Fries. Now I'm hungry damn it!

Re: Brown or Red?

For me it has to be Daddy's, I can't abide tomato ketchup, on bacon or sausage sarnies unless there's a fried egg as well. In that case, no sauce thanks because, as Pixie said, it takes away the taste of the egg yolk.

Re: Brown or Red?

Brown sauce for me on fried breakfast, bacon or sausage sarnies.
Ketchup on fish and chips
