Forget ketchup and brown sauce, because according to cookery writers, you should be smothering your sarnie with marmalade.
As reported by The Mirror , the odd combination has divided Brits, after food writer Felicity Cloake suggested Marmalade should be your chosen condiment.
The strange sauce combination has left Twitter users divided, with Colman’s Mustard even teasing at the launch of their own marmalade in a tweet.

Being a big sauce lover, I thought I’d put this theory to the test, but I’ll be honest, I was very dubious.
Bacon and marmalade have never been combinations I thought would work, up until now.
The sandwich
I opted for smoked bacon because I personally prefer it, but wasn’t entirely sure if there was a preference to go with the marmalade.
In terms of marmalade, I purchased one from my local shop from the brand ‘Happy Shopper’, no frills, just good old marmalade.
Unfortunately we only had brown bread in the house, which isn’t the best for a bacon sandwich but it had to do!
I lathered a fair amount of marmalade on top of the bacon and took a big bite, and I was shocked.
It tasted absolutely amazing.
I had no idea that I’d actually enjoy bacon with marmalade for breakfast, but I think I might have just found a new favourite combination.
Granted, I’ll never get bored of tomato and brown sauce, but there was something unique and different about the marmalade.
The sweetness of it really complimented the salty crispy bacon, just like honey does with ham.
The verdict
I never thought these words would come out of my mouth, but I’ll 100% be putting marmalade on my bacon sandwiches more often.
It was different, and almost felt like a bit of a posh breakfast as opposed to your standard bacon sandwich.
The two flavours really complimented each other, and I’d highly recommend it.
