    Banana Sauce

    My wife used it in a marinade a while back but until today I hadn't really tried it as a conventional sauce and therefore had no idea what it was actually like. When she first mentioned it I took it to be an alternative to chocolate sauce to be drizzled over ice cream.

    Anyhow, to my surprise it tasted great with our home built hamburgers.

    We had sourced (excuse the Arthur Little style pun) an authentic bottle from our Asian store here. 550 grams for 99p which seems like a good deal. I did wonder about the ingredients, as in why was it red when it was banana sauce? But I gather it is the colouring that does it.

    Do you mean 'Katsup' ?

    We just used it as normal Tomato sauce when living in the Phils....one reason being it was half the price of the pukka stuff.

    Banana Katsup
    Sprite
    Chilli
    Garlic
    Onion
    Sugar

    = A good recipe for Philippine BBQ Marinade.

    However odd it sounds, it does end up being very tasty. It's best if left with the meat in overnight.

    Yep, agreed. We also use just the same.
    Well almost................my catering director insists on 7UP rather than sprite

    She also adds 7UP whenever she cooks shrimp

    Always wondered why 7UP (or sprite) is often used.

    Purely as a sauce/ketchup I personally prefer to use Heinz Tomato Ketchup. I always buy the organic type these days as I find it closest to the taste I remember when I was young

    Yes. It potentially opens up the door for some other classics like Irn Bru etc etc

    Ah, I see now. That's the same stuff we use for BBQ marinades. Especially for Pork.
    Sometimes we add a little soy sauce and a small amount of brown sugar.
    That's not the same stuff we use as a ketchup.

    Have you tried making burgers with 50/50 pork and beef mixed with an egg and some milk?
    Worth a try lastlid

    We used Tesco beefburgers. Cooked them in the George Foreman grill. Stuck them in a bun with sliced cheese and fresh tomato and then added a splash of UFC Banana Sauce inside the burger.

    You need to get your hands "dirty" to get that Michelin star flavour

    We will graduate onto authentic home made burgers once Mrs Lastlid gets around to it. Easy does it.

    Could be a nice little earner to write an e-book called "Culture Shock! United Kingdom" as an accompaniment to the book "Culture Shock! Philippines"

    I think you are right. I think Graham would be able to knock together a great book in that genre......I can see it in Amazons listings now....
