There are some things in my fridge that are must have as far as my boys are concerned and that’s ketchup and brown sauce. No matter what other fancy ingredients, foods and sauces lurk on the shelves, the tomato ketchup and brown sauce are firm favourites with them. The sauces also find their way into several of my recipes and ketchup is also a secret ingredient favourited by many chefs with even the great Michel Roux using ‘Tommy Ketchup’ in his shepherds pie.
Broon and tomato sauce, both favourites in our house
However, we’re prone to a bit of sauce snobbery in our house. We’d never be seen dead with cheap ketchup, it’s always the well known brand, served straight from the the bottle. No fancy sauce dispenser for us, we like to show our label!
But what about a change in brand, what kind of reaction would that get from the boys. Edinburgh based company, Maw Broon’s sauce had sent tomato and broon sauces for reviewing and of course the best time to test was with the big Sunday cooked breakfast. I’m more of brown sauce fan when it comes to sauce with my breakfast sausage while the boys are long time lovers of ketchup.
Made in small batches from the very best ingredients.
Both sauces got the thumbs up. The tomato sauce was rich and tomatoey, as you would want from a sauce to accompany food. The brown sauce ticked all boxes with it’s fruit and tangy flavour and was the ideal accompaniment to our Sunday breakfast.

Also the sauces have no artificial additives or preservatives, good enough to be in my pantry and on the table, labels and all!
