After scrolling the categories and divisions it struck me that there was no mention of any Salsas. A schoolboy error from EGB, shirley not?

Look, there’s considerable administrative effort that goes into running a tournament like this. I’m sorry if missed salsa but I did invite submissions. It can go in the hat in four years time when we go again :huffy:

The problem is Beaglers, I’m too much of a nice guy and a people pleaser, as you well know.

I originally had in mind bottled concoctions from the store cupboard whereas to me salsa is fresh (I appreciate you can get preservative laden versions mind).

However I do concur that once aioli and hummus came in, so should salsa. But by that time too many plates were spinning and the ball was dropped. (Plates and balls are hard to keep going simultaneously).

So yes, I apologise to the nation’s salsa lovers. It’s a fair cop, as many a lovable rogue I’m sure observed, as you guided them into the van ;))

Is this an admission of guilt? I’ve heard lawyers come up with shorter mitigating sentences for their clients 🤣

You’re right, salsa should have been in there. I don’t know how I missed its omission as salsa is a staple in my house. This is a travesty.
 
I just missed out on a couple of the polls it seems, but have registered my vote in others.

I was disturbed to have missed the mustard vote, where so many people are just not able to discern the rightful champion, which is, obviously, French's American mustard.

HP is sweet, overpriced gloop by comparison to Daddies.

Then you have stuff like the above, which has me questioning the fabric of society. Daddies??!! I literally cannot believe what I am reading.

Daddies is just playing at it. A weak-assed, sugary copy of the majestic HP.

Stu nails it. HP is in a class of its own. Daddies is just weird-coloured slurry, and its purveyors need to be stopped.

Outrageous
 
Despite some plucky performances from underdogs the big guns have survived the quarter final stage. Semi finals will be staged later today; with surviving representatives of mustard and chilli groups facing of in a clash that will determine our favourite hot stuff. Across town the question posed will be whether we prefer our brown stuff gloopy or runny.

Questions for the ages.

Question: how much did @Stu bribe you with?

Having Daddies instead of HP was like your mum buying you cheap Adidas knock-off trainers from Woolies and trying to convince you they were actually better than the real ones because they had four stripes rather than 3.

I sense the HP advocates are in for a rough ride come kick off. This has the feel of the 2024 GE about it; there’s going to be as many voting against contenders as for, methinks.

Exactly, thank you Sancho. Another example might be when you were hoping for a new pair of Levis but your mum bought you a pair of Tesco Bombers for a fifth of the price. A deeply disturbing teenage experience.

We shall fight them on the beaches, on the dining table, the cafe and in the chip shop. We shall never surrender.

Indeed. This is one of those “get the vote out” scenarios.

Complacency opens the door for the lunatic fringe of Daddies extremists.

Daddies: The Le Shark of brown sauce.
 
It's amazing how much more you can appreciate gold star when all the chippies around you only offer vinegar. or cheese. or gravy. vile.

Worcester Sauce is magic. Goes on everything.
 
Don't know if they have been mentioned before, but Gita's Mango Chutney and Lime Pickle are the absolute mutt's nuts. Best in class for curry accompaniments.
What say you, @egb_hibs ?
