Sauce Singers

In this context "Sauce" being money.

I wish all musicians well and trust that those who are worth seeing make a decent living although those on the folk scene clearly find it difficult.

Whilst we almost certainly don't have UK folk millionaires has anybody been lucky or talented enough to be a bit rich? This is meant in curious good faith not an attempt to knock anybody, (some hope).

I thought this was going to be about singers' preferred sauce.

Mine is brown, but I feel HP is an abomination - it's Daddies every time. You can't beat that feeling of paint stripper hitting the roof of your mouth.

My partner, who also sings, prefers NO SAUCE AT ALL. This is even more of an abomination than HP. How can you eat a sausage with no sauce?

He also doesn't eat smoked bacon. I ask you.

My Granddad used to mind the time he heard singing coming from the old Marmite factory!

Never was a thread so quickly mugged, but thanks anyway

Well, Les, I think talking about people's favourite sauce is perhaps more socially acceptable than asking about how much money they earn...it's bound to end up in speculation and bitterness, apart from being a bit of an invasion of privacy.

So...what's YOUR favourite sauce? :)

I seem to remember hearing Ross Campbell singing "The Bovril's with the gravy but the Marmite's with the jam".

I am sure you are right Ruth but it would be nice to think somebody had a couple of bob.

I'd always go for Pataks extra hot pickled limes

oooh - in come the Asian options!

At Bobby's restaurant in Leicester they do this lovely tamarind sauce that goes with the pakora. Yum. But I'm a big fan of lime pickle as well.

My partner eats mango chutney in industrial quantities.

That would be the resident band here then....
        The Little Sauce Factory in Worcester is a relaxed a la carte Restaurant and Tapas Bar. European cuisine with authentic dishes from Spain, Germany and France, plus many of his own creation. These are complemented by early evening Tapas and on Sundays, Traditional Roasts.

Tomato Sauce; Heinz of course. I like sitting in Wetherspoons making tomato sauce sandwiches with mini cheddars whilst waiting for the main course.

Just one of the many joys of being married to a very tolerant lady...

I also applaud Buffet@Preston for having bottles of Kikkoman soy on the tables.

Well, I know some folk musicians who "hit the sauce" quite a bit!

My favorite sauce is Glenfiddich!

I'm with Ruth Archer's partner. As long as it's a quality sausage, no sauce is the way to go!

Black belt CW - you may have heard Ross Campbell singing it, but "the Bovril's with the gravy and the Marmite's with the jam" was penned by McGrath of Harlow!

Guest, I agree in a supper context, though a nice bit of homemade gravy is never unwelcome. But I'm talking breakfast here.

It's just wrong.

Breakfast....HP Sauce...though here if you don't put ketchup on it, you're looked as weird....
