Greggs Breakfast Sauce Debate: Ketchup Triumphs Over Brown Sauce

The age-old debate over whether red or brown sauce is the superior condiment for a breakfast roll has been reignited by bakery chain Greggs. In a Twitter poll, the company asked fans to choose between ketchup and brown sauce to accompany bacon, sausage, or egg.

The results showed a clear winner, with 63% of UK voters favouring ketchup, while brown sauce trailed behind at 37%. The poll sparked a heated discussion in the comments, with passionate sauce enthusiasts arguing for their preferred choice.

One fan declared, 'Brown. I want a list of all those who voted red and I want them banned. I'm not having this red c**p.' However, another user countered, 'Red on bacon Brown on sausage.' A third commenter added, 'TBH I'm shocked how many people get this simple question wrong. Come on folks, brown sauce all the way...'
