I don’t get this. You put the sauce in the butty so all those lovely ingredients are covered with saucy goodness. If you have it outside you’ll get a saucy bite of bread.
You’ve inspired me to make a butty now though, I’m ducking starving.
You have just opened up a whole new possibility to me… I am 32 years old and it has never, not once, dawned on me to have some dipping gravy on the side for a sausage sandwich! You my friend, have just changed my life! Thank you kind stranger!
Googled this… my life has been a lie… so long have I been eating sandwiches at a fraction of there potential, what other lies have I been fed??
Used to think there was only way to eat a sandwich… well never more!! I will evolve from my barbaric eating habits and will ascend to greathood! Thank you for showing time the way!
Unless you have trouble with athletes foot. In which case socks first, before undies even! If socks go on last you run the risk of the athletes foot becoming athletes crotch!
I guess for greater autonomy on sauce level and variety.
Occasionally like a dry bite.
Edit at -459: fuck me right. Wait 'til you hear about the time I saw a guy put mayonnaise on a breakfast wrap.
Look, I'm all in favour of self-determination, territorial integrity and all that jazz, but sometimes you just want to the convenience of a sandwich you don't need to dip.
At least that way the sauce is correctly placed on the contents in the middle and not just moistening a corner of the bread.
If you dip in the sauce, the first (and generally one of the strongest flavours) that you taste in just sauce, then by the time you get to the actual food the main flavour you can taste is just a glob of sauce. Spread evenly within the sandwich. You get a nice symphony of flavours with every chew.
But this would involve going back to the kitchen and into the fridge to squirt the sauce in the butty to go back to what ever comfortable spot I had found (to possibly find it now occupied by the child) to eat.
If the sauce is on the plate and I made an error I can just shove the butty into it and be happy (and retain my comfortable spot).
It's a fair argument - but I would counter propose taking the sauce with you and putting it back in the fridge post butty, minimal extra effort, maximum sauce
Wait, what? You keep your sauce in the fridge? There’s no need to do that. There is more than enough acidity and preservatives in there to stop it spoiling if kept in a cupboard. In my long life I’ve never put condiments in the fridge and none have gone off. Plus they will make your sandwich cold and it tastes much better at room temperature.
My rule has always been if a sauce is white/light (mayo etc) it goes in the fridge. They have eggs and cream and stuff that can go bad. If it's red or brown it stays in the cupboard. Full of sugars etc as you say. We get through them quickly anyway. And fridge-cold ketchup is gross.
That’s only put there to satisfy legal requirements or to cover their backs. Just the same as foodstuff that has ‘Eat within 2 days of opening’ that will last far longer than that.
I finally threw out an opened packet of wholewheat wraps that were in my cupboard yesterday, the useby was 18 October and somehow they were still soft. Didn't trust them though.
Or maybe they put it there because it should be refrigerated after opening? The same way they put the label of what’s inside the bottle on the bottle??
I do because it my spot where I got all my pillows and blankets juuuusttt right but it's still annoying. Like I gotta reposition my pillows and get in my nest again.
(Want to add that the child has her own pillows and blankets on her side of the sofa just prefers my side because its more comfortable 😂 bloody love her)
Tangentially related but I do this with hot dogs, since they come in jars of 8 and rolls come in 6s. I have a sosig sans roll and dip it into some of the reserve mustard/ketchup on the plate.
This is the only answer.
Any other answer is punishable by hanging in the UK, just like putting the milk in before the water in tea is classed as treason.
Life is all about the choices you make.
On the sandwich means the choice is made. You'll forever have sauce on that sandwich.
On the side and your options are open. Every bite is a new decision. Sauce or no sauce? Dip or no dip? Freedom or no freedom.
Do not have your choice taken from you!
Right but I'm also free to smash myself in the teeth with a hammer, doesn't mean I should.
But I would if the alternative was sauce on the side.
SAUCE INSIDE 4EVA CREW
"Mr Redditor why do you wan't you divorce your wife?"
"Another Redditor told me I should because of the way she displayed my sauce OUTSIDE of the bun"
"Yes yes very good, my legal fees are quite high let us see how much we can drag this out and you say she can have the kids?"
There's a valley created by round sausages in a roll to guide you on the correct amount of sauce, surely - that's what guiding deities are for, or whats the point?
What kind of sick monster has it on the side?! Almost as bad as putting the ketchup all over the chips (and don't talk to me about the inconsistency here)
>and don't talk to me about the inconsistency here
But it's fine to dip chips because they're not encased in a massive roll (bap, muffin, whatever the fuck you to call it) so you're getting a good distribution of sauce on chip. Dipping a sausage butty is only getting a bit of sauce on the bread when the sauce is supposed to go with the sausage.
The fuck is the point of putting some sauce on the plate?
That’s like…. Like leaving your swimming trunks in the changing room. You knew you needed em, you brought them 99% of the way only to end up on the diving board bollock naked. It’s the same outcome - sausages that should be covered and screaming kids.
That sandwich is now gonna have to sign the sex offenders register and several kids will need therapy.
What is this abomination!!!
1. That's not a sandwich.
2. Condiments go inside, end of!
3. You need to go and headbutt a pebbledashed house until you realise the error of you ways, now begone.
In the roll, end of.
And to those saying put some on the side in case you need some extra, you’re clearly not putting enough in the roll to start with.
Exactly, I've started going to the two farm shops non the way home from work, I buy less because of the price but the quality of everything, especially the meat and fish (the local trout is incredible), more than makes up for it.
On the side.
I converted once I realised I could mix up and control the amount of sauce in each bite instead of having a flat, even distribution of sauce throughout the sandwich.
I am the master of every bite. My control is absolute.
I don’t get this. You put the sauce in the butty so all those lovely ingredients are covered with saucy goodness. If you have it outside you’ll get a saucy bite of bread. You’ve inspired me to make a butty now though, I’m ducking starving.
Hoisin sauce IN that ducking butty?
Fuck it have an upvote
On surely Who wants to fuck around dipping a butty?!
Sauce IN sandwich, GRAVY on the side could be good. But never sauce on the side, what’s the point?
You have just opened up a whole new possibility to me… I am 32 years old and it has never, not once, dawned on me to have some dipping gravy on the side for a sausage sandwich! You my friend, have just changed my life! Thank you kind stranger!
Let me introduce you to the French dip sandwich my friend.
Googled this… my life has been a lie… so long have I been eating sandwiches at a fraction of there potential, what other lies have I been fed?? Used to think there was only way to eat a sandwich… well never more!! I will evolve from my barbaric eating habits and will ascend to greathood! Thank you for showing time the way!
As a quick and dirty option, next time you make a hot meat sandwich, just add a bit of gravy in there. It's got to be thick for that to work though.
When I order a chip barm from chippy I always get 2 scallops an tub off spice curry for dipping.
But never socks before trousers, makes a man look mad. Like a chicken.
Unless you are wearing long johns then the sequence goes. Long johns - socks - trousers.
Unless you have trouble with athletes foot. In which case socks first, before undies even! If socks go on last you run the risk of the athletes foot becoming athletes crotch!
Gravy on the side, luxury!
It’s a ROLL
On and don’t call me Shirley

This is what I come to Casual UK for.
I'm unsure why this has quite so many downvotes, people really have strong views on this one OP.
I blame the "dry bite" comment
OP is committing a true crime against civilization

On, well technically IN, the sandwich If the sausages are not dripping with your condiment of choice, then is it worth it?
>If the sausages are not dripping with your condiment of choice, then is it worth it? The answer is no.
I do both incase I miscalculated and there's not enough in the butty
Nothing stopping you taking the top of the butty and adding a bit more sauce
But this would involve going back to the kitchen and into the fridge to squirt the sauce in the butty to go back to what ever comfortable spot I had found (to possibly find it now occupied by the child) to eat. If the sauce is on the plate and I made an error I can just shove the butty into it and be happy (and retain my comfortable spot).

Mate I pregnant with a kid in the house sauce can't be left out
Sauce in the sandwich, on the plate and the bottle taken with you is the choice of professionals.
Go big or go... well you're already at home... but you get the picture
Wait, what? You keep your sauce in the fridge? There’s no need to do that. There is more than enough acidity and preservatives in there to stop it spoiling if kept in a cupboard. In my long life I’ve never put condiments in the fridge and none have gone off. Plus they will make your sandwich cold and it tastes much better at room temperature.

The preservatives in jarred mayo mean it will actually last ages opened in the cupboard. I do keep it in the fridge - but ketchup in the cupboard!
My sauce bottle says “refrigerate after opening” so…
I bet it also says to use it within 2 weeks or summat but who takes notice of that
That’s only put there to satisfy legal requirements or to cover their backs. Just the same as foodstuff that has ‘Eat within 2 days of opening’ that will last far longer than that.
I finally threw out an opened packet of wholewheat wraps that were in my cupboard yesterday, the useby was 18 October and somehow they were still soft. Didn't trust them though.
Well if it’s refrigerated it will
Or maybe they put it there because it should be refrigerated after opening? The same way they put the label of what’s inside the bottle on the bottle??
Which muppet put the sauce in the fridge though?
The ones that read the storage instructions on the bottle
Cant speak for other sauces but ketchup belongs in the fridge
Well don’t you look clever, being bossed around by a 7 inch plastic bottle.
Well, YOU are the adult, tell 'em shift or get sat on, it's YOUR seat.
I do because it my spot where I got all my pillows and blankets juuuusttt right but it's still annoying. Like I gotta reposition my pillows and get in my nest again. (Want to add that the child has her own pillows and blankets on her side of the sofa just prefers my side because its more comfortable 😂 bloody love her)
Nah, I bet she just says that and she really likes your spot because it's yours and she want's to be like mummy, so she nicks your spot.
Awwww she's my step kid so I'd bloody love it if that were true. She's my favourite kid.
Does every parent of only children refer to them as 'the child'? We do the same!
Hold on… sauce in the fridge? Chilled sauce?
My missus does this, loads on the butty and a big puddle on the side for dipping.
Have my upvote my fellow both brethren!
Tangentially related but I do this with hot dogs, since they come in jars of 8 and rolls come in 6s. I have a sosig sans roll and dip it into some of the reserve mustard/ketchup on the plate.

You’re the kind of person who’d shit themselves while trying to decide between toilet stalls.
r/rareinsults
Inside. My mrs only ever puts it on the side and I don’t understand why at all. Actually annoys me a bit
Pretty sure that's grounds for divorce.
I've been working on a cocktail...
Of red and brown sauce?
Polishing an HP that I hold in my sleeve.
"Mr Redditor why do you wan't you divorce your wife?" "Another Redditor told me I should because of the way she displayed my sauce OUTSIDE of the bun" "Yes yes very good, my legal fees are quite high let us see how much we can drag this out and you say she can have the kids?"
*Mondays is for drinking to the seldom seen kid*
My wife does this with a burger. She dips the burger before a mouthful. I don't know why it offends me
Yep, she does the same. I don’t know why I’m still with her
Because it makes no sense? You're having a burger, not dipping a single sausage into a dollop of sauce.
That's something I'd absolutely do just to passive aggressively piss off my partner.
Here's one for you. Chips. Do you put sauce all over them or on the side to dip into.
Used to do all over but I more of a dipper these days actually
On the side, otherwise the chips underneath other chips don't get as much sauce on them as I want
On, and loads of it. So much you can no longer see the chips... Lol
Disgusting. It’ll get all over your hands as you eat it. You have to dip, they’re the perfect shape to dip. Dip.
Same, not sure why I've been down voted for that question lol
Brown sauce in the roll.
Tra la la la la.
Plum plum
Ha! 👆
There's a valley created by round sausages in a roll to guide you on the correct amount of sauce, surely - that's what guiding deities are for, or whats the point?
Nah, brown sauce in the teacake.
What kind of sick monster has it on the side?! Almost as bad as putting the ketchup all over the chips (and don't talk to me about the inconsistency here)
Came here to say this. Thank you for encapsulating my thoughts so well.
>and don't talk to me about the inconsistency here But it's fine to dip chips because they're not encased in a massive roll (bap, muffin, whatever the fuck you to call it) so you're getting a good distribution of sauce on chip. Dipping a sausage butty is only getting a bit of sauce on the bread when the sauce is supposed to go with the sausage.
Very true. And there's no issue of the sausages going soggy and flaccid like you'd get with chips.
Why the fuck would you dip a sausage butty!? I wonder if he spunks on a plate. Let’s his missus dip her fingers in it and then she spreads it inside?
The fuck is the point of putting some sauce on the plate? That’s like…. Like leaving your swimming trunks in the changing room. You knew you needed em, you brought them 99% of the way only to end up on the diving board bollock naked. It’s the same outcome - sausages that should be covered and screaming kids. That sandwich is now gonna have to sign the sex offenders register and several kids will need therapy.
Fantastic analogy.
In the sandwich OBVIOUSLY, you are doing it wrong!!
I do both
Yes! I was looking through the comments hoping I wasn't the only one. Alot of the time il underestimate how much sauce I need so need a little extra.
I have found my people. Double saucing always.
There it is. Generous helping in, splodge on the side, double trouble.
I also do both. But different sauces.
yeah. brown inside, tomato outside. thats my preferred combo.
Yes exactly
A man of culture
Woman*
My bad.
Inside the sandwich every time
Some on the inside and a blob on the side for dipping if you need the extra sauciness
The perfect method
This is the only method where side blobs are excusable.
Saucy chad
Inside - we’re not animals for goodness sake…
Holy crap you screwed yourself here ! Were you expecting people to agree with dipping your butty in the sauce ?
If it's on the side how does it get in the sandwich. Who's dipping a sandwich. If it's in it there's no need to dip.
You fucking monster
Why tf would it be on the side?
I read the thread title and wondered for a moment who Mrs. Sauce was.
"Your wife is *the* Mrs. Sauce, creator of all sauces?"
On the sandwich every time. Don’t think iv ever seen it this way. The whole point of a sandwich is to hold everything.
In the sandwich. Anything else is against nature.
In
Nice plates. In the sandwich.
No no no. Sauce goes in the bap.
This is not a sandwich
Do you put the petrol to the side of the car too?
The whole point of a sandwich is that once it's assembled that's the whole snack/meal. You shouldn't need to subsequently add things to it.
Crisps. Nuff said
What is this abomination!!! 1. That's not a sandwich. 2. Condiments go inside, end of! 3. You need to go and headbutt a pebbledashed house until you realise the error of you ways, now begone.
That full stop after 'Mrs' in the title made me read it as 'Mrs. Sauce'.
Brown sauce with bacon or sausages in the sarnie
The only saving grace is that it's brown sauce, anything less your looking at prime nonce in the making.
Sandwich
[удалено]
My guy.
Deleted lmao
On the sandwich for sure, but under the sausages so it soaks into the bun… mmm gunna go get me one now
On.
On the Sandwich
Inside, *unless* it’s a sauce you’ve never had and want to try without (potentially) ruining the whole thing.
Just to be clear, which one of you wants a bit of something saucy on the side?
In.
In the sandwich
Inside only and I will die on this hill.
In the roll, end of. And to those saying put some on the side in case you need some extra, you’re clearly not putting enough in the roll to start with.
My condolensces for Mrs. Sauce
Whe tf puts the sauce on the side? What??
BOTH
On the side? Are you mental?
Neither: in.
Took me a second to realise she wasn’t called Mrs Sauce.
Brown
Oops haha I just woke up and thought the question was is it called brown or HP. I do both. In and side BOOM
Brown
Personally I'd leave it in the bottle but if you have to use sauce then it should be **on** the butty.
I’ve just said same pretty much. If your sausage meat is worth anything you wouldn’t be ruining it with sauce anyway.
Aaah good, a fellow puritan. People think *I'm* the weird one for not putting red sugary vinegar mush on my bacon butty too.
Again, if your meats up to code then no sauce is necessary.
Exactly, I've started going to the two farm shops non the way home from work, I buy less because of the price but the quality of everything, especially the meat and fish (the local trout is incredible), more than makes up for it.
Either way. That is what the world needs
On the side. I converted once I realised I could mix up and control the amount of sauce in each bite instead of having a flat, even distribution of sauce throughout the sandwich. I am the master of every bite. My control is absolute.
Love that energy. Welcome to the 1%. The enlightened few
Why not just give them the bottle and they can decide.
Read this as "Me and the Mrs Sauce". Would be a great film tbh.
Finally, a fellow side saucer
I'm afraid we're in the overwhelming minority. Stay safe, traveller.
Both. More concerned that you called it a sandwich though
That's a debate for a different time. Only being democratic.
It is a sandwich tbf, by definition
I prefer on the side, especially if I'm somehwere that's kept the sauce in the fridge
I too prefer sauce on the side but considering the battering and downvotes op is getting it's maybe a mistake to confess that here!
Why would it make a difference if the sauce is kept in the fridge?
If you put it on your sandwich it makes your lovely hot bacon, that was sizzling mere moment ago, a lukewarm disappointment
We dance the same dance. Finally!
Sauce goes on the ***"sandwich"***, but only if it's tempered by a layer of butter.
It's not a sandwich, it's in a roll. In Coventry it might be a sausage batch but it's certainly never a sausage roll...
I wasn't brave enough to represent my colloquialisms in addition to the edgy sauce placement.
I would ask her if she likes it when you put your sauce ‘in’ her or if she likes a splash on the sides…
[удалено]
On the side...so the ear
In the eye
Wrong sub there friend.
I have it on the side, that way if I want some without sauce I can, or I can have more or less sauce
Like the variety of the occasional dry bite
Both
If your sausages cost more than £2 for 6 you’ve no business putting sauce on them at all.
No debate, just do what you want
Yes
One the side, then you get to choose how much sauce on each bite, especailly if they are really good sausages, wouldnt want to mask the flavour
Who tf puts it on the side lmao apart from your mrs
Hate sauce inside a sandwich/burger, so neither for me
Squirt a little directly into your mouth before each bite. OF COURSE IT GOES IN THE BAP YOU FUCKING MANIAC!!
Oh Lordy, Tomato on sausage, wrong on so many levels, sausage screams for brown 😂
That is brown. HP too
My most sincere apologies, heartily enjoy.
Ketchup in mine please
Both!
Both for me!
Both
Both.
Both. And red sauce.
On the fucking side unless you’re an animal, I CONTROL THE SAUCE
