Greggs sparks heated debate over red or brown sauce in morning roll

It is an issue that has been chewed over for decades.

When it comes to sauces, the nation is split between red or brown - and there's no sitting on the fence.

Every sausage sandwich lover knows if they are a ketchup or HP person when they reach for their favourite bottle.

And now Greggs has sparked the debate again after it asked fans which condiment they prefer on a morning roll.

The bakery giant asked Twitter to vote between red or brown sauce to accompany bacon, sausage or egg.

Greggs wrote: "Let’s settle the age-old debate – red or brown in your breakfast bap?"

The results proved there is a clear champion on the sauce front, with UK fans in favour of ketchup with 63% of the vote compared to brown sauce's 37%.

The results sparked a heated discussion in the comments, with many sauce fans arguing in favour of red or brown.

One fan wrote: "Brown. I want a list of all those who voted red and I want them banned. I'm not having this red c**p".

Another commented: "Brown on bacon, red on sausage."

But one person disagreed and wrote: "Red on bacon Brown on sausage".

Another individual commented: "TBH I'm shocked how many people get this simple question wrong. Come on folks, brown sauce all the way..."

Meanwhile, someone wrote: "Red in summer brown in winter. I thought everyone knew this."

Elsewhere, one person quipped: "Both at the same time, unreal combo".
