Does anyone know which shop sells a nice sweet and sour sauce? Something like the type that McD's give out with their grub. I used to be able to get one ... I think it was HP that did it. There are plenty of stir fry s&s sauces, and Amoy do a dipping sauce but its just not the same as being able to pour it from a bottle, like tomato ketchup, and dip your chips in it. :dunno: :)

We use the Homepride Cook-in-sauce, though how that would work as a dip I am not sure...:p

It's got to be pourable, like Ketchup :-)

Unfortunately it's a bad case of something I picked up at McDonalds. :D

Recipe for an excellent S&S sauce (courtesy of Ken Hom):-

2 tablespoons ginger marmalade
2 tablespoons orange marmalade
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon hot water

Combine all the ingredients together ensuring they are mixed thoroughly.
Transfer to a jar or bottle with a tight fitting cap and store in the refrigerator until needed.

Well, I'll go to the foot of our stairs! :ohmy:

Next thing is...
You'll be telling us that you've never had a tomato sauce sandwich or Yorkshire pudding with your cup of tea :wacko:

Please do.
I've got another Ken Hom simple S&S sauce recipe which is terrific but it's intended more for stir-frying.

Errrrrrr...

Ummmm...

This may be true.

(Do you have to dunk the YP in the tea?)

I checked in Somerfields yesterday: Sorry, Liane, no bottled S&S sauce in there. :(

You don't have to... but the traditional (Yorkshire) way to serve the plate-sized puds is as a starter (with gravy and veg) or as a dessert (with jam or ice cream). Of course Yorkshire folk will still eat them as an accompaniment to their roast which (although I adore Yorkshire pud) is, by far, more preferable to me :D

The lure of discounted plastic boxes in Morrisons may also result in a sweet and sour find today/tomorrow. :D

I like to fill those big YPs with oven-roasted vegs, then top it off with savoury mince. :D

Never tried them as a sweet option... Do you think they'd be good with S&S sauce? ;)

Well I always prefer them on their own with gravy, but we sometimes had them cold with Jam on. As for the sugar & malt vinegar that's for pancakes (which is more or less the same batter as Yorkshire Puds anyway).

about the sweet and sour sauce thing, can anyone tell me where I can get jars of ken homs sweet and sour with passion fruit? only once have I ever seen it at lidl,s. I bought one and it was nearly identical to the one from the chinese takeaway that I have with the special fried rice.
Ive tried most major supermarkets with no luck, it,s the best I,ve ever tasted, wish I,d bought a dozen or so at the time.
