    Speaking to a friend of mine who has lived in many parts of England, he reckons there is a north/south divide based on what sauce a man has on his bacon sandwich.

    He says that in the south, tomato is the sauce of choice on the old pig sandwich, while oop north, hp/brown is the order of the day. Apparently, the sauce "equator" is somewhere around Leicester, where preferences are mixed.

    I have confirmed this to be about 90% correct so far, speaking with habitants of both areas.

    North/South.

    Had a chippie in Margate for a couple of years. Tried mushy peas on the locals as no-one was doing them. Remark from the lad who helped us "How can you eat such muck". Did a good trade with people who had moved from the North and the people who were attending the local language school, mainly Iranians and Chinese.

    Incorrect.

    North - brown sauce.
    South - red sauce.
    Baaarnsli - man sauce.

    That explains why I am confused

    As a Northerner living in the south I am equally happy with either ketchup (but must be Heinz) or Brown source - as I now no longer touch HP.

    Neither comes close to some fried tomatoe on the bacon though

    I've been busy ...

    ... trying to source an industrial strimmer powerful enough to deal with that thing on your face.

    Do you play at full back for Southampton?

    Forget the sauce of any colour

    ...grilled tomato is unmatchable. So there.

    Aye.

    Man sauce, love juice, spongle, baby gravy, jizz ... spoff.

    It's a bit like the biscuit game that Dirk, Jay, Dillinger, SM & TM play ... but with a bacon buttie.

    Rather strange in our household...

    I'm originally from darn sarf (and lived there until the age of 19) and I love HP and Daddies sauce. Revvie P born and breed wombweller devoted ketchup fan.

    I heard the same theory on This Morning several years ago.
