White bread and ketchup as with a bacon butty. Brown bread is wrong

if you are going to go full hog you got to have butter on thick white bread you've cut yourself , thick chips and salt,and dipping ketchup

You never ever need a reason to have a chip butty. Fresh soft white bread and tomatoe ketchup. Yum

I can't smile & nod toward ketchup the lord of all our worst enemies. I can nod to the tomato sauce but not ketchup. It hurts my soul.

Tomato sauce and tomato ketchup are the same as far as I know, what's the difference as you know it?

Huge sugar difference. Huge especially for myself because I make my own tomato sauce/gravy but even if you bought it in a can with added sugar it still has less than ketchup.

How do you make homemade tomato sauce??

Ah, I see. Over here, tomato sauce can refer to ketchup, or to a sauce like you'd serve on pasta (or to the red liquid baked beans and canned spaghetti come in), but in the context of chip butties, I'd always assume it meant the same as ketchup.
