Hog Blog, is red the new brown?

Molly The Wally in the dining room.


Brown sauce or Ketchup? Depends where you live!


It's a question that divides families and friends, men from women and North from South: Do you prefer brown sauce, red sauce, or no sauce at all? Well, it seems that we like tomato ketchup the best with the exception of bacon butties where brown wins. My sauces at Molly Media have heard that Parliament are joining the great British sauce debate, as it’s far a weightier topic than the Euro-Zone crisis.  Call me ‘Dave’ Cameron stated that he preferred the coalition approach with a bit of both types on his plate when he’s slumming it and having a fish and chip supper. There was an uproar in the house as politicians accused him of sitting on the fence. Campaigners Mr. Lea & Perrins and Mr. Tabasco boycotted the debate and called for an inquiry as to why minority sauces were being excluded. Mr. Mustard joined in and eventually it was agreed that a new Condiment Committee would look into these serious allegations and no expense would be spared. Oh dear more expense , soon we won’t even be able to afford any , oh what a pickle! Opps that maybe another debate gherkin or onion?

  16. Hey Molly!
    Wow, what a fun post! Now, I'm sitting here in my home territory which just happens to be about 2 hours away from Pittsburgh, the home of all things Heinz. BOL Not a big ketchup fan anyway but my peeps sure use it. All the others are good for me though!

  17. That was very good Molly. Mum loves tomato sauce with egg and chips and she likes brown on those revolting quorn things that are supposed to be bacon. We are tempted to say we hope David Cameron falls off the fence and breaks his neck and then someone can tell him he is not entitled to benefits and fit for work, ha!

    1. Hi Guys , it's ketchup in the lead , a landslide victory for the reds and the only redeeming factor is brown is best for bacon butties. Seems we doglets agree with the research. Yes and it has to be Heinz and opps forgot to include salad cream or mao debate!
