And what fresh madness is this? I am a great fan of Branston Fruity, truly. My son, my sister and I have almost come to blows around the family table, when 'hogging' was suspected, so much so that my mother keeps at least four bottles on standby in case we all happen to be in her kitchen at the same time. BUT, sauce, and pay attention above AppleSpider is not what one puts on a cold meat sandwich. The HP and Branston Fruity sauces are for the hot meat sandwich - sausage, bacon or...actually it's just sausage or bacon. Branston Fruity is just about allowable on a fried egg sandwich, but only a smear, in an emergency and only for those without the nous to know that Heinz Tomato Ketchup is the most appropriate condiment for the occasion. Oh and if you find yourself with a bacon sandwich, without HP sauce, then of course feel free to coat one slice of bread with Heinz Tomato Ketchup and the other with a good dose of Coleman's English Mustard. If you don't have either, then bin the meat and bread. Seriously, don't do that to yourself. And if anyone butters the bread for the above sanwiches...,what??????
