Sausages and mash are fine. Sausages and mash under a flood of onion sauce are a different meal altogether.
Colman's Onion Sauce Mix is the little packet behind that flood. It is the smooth, white onion sauce that sat next to the roast lamb on a Sunday, or got poured over a plate of bangers until you could not see the bangers.
Nobody you knew made it from scratch. Nobody needed to.
A packet, a pan, a whisk and a few minutes. Then the quiet negotiation over who gets the last of it from the jug.
Frequently asked questions about Colman's Onion Sauce Mix
Q: Is this the UK version of Colman's Onion Sauce Mix?
A: Yes, it is the British packet, the same one you would pick up in a UK supermarket, and it ships from within Canada.
Q: How much is in a packet?
A: It is a 35g sachet of dry mix. Small enough to keep a few in the cupboard, which is usually the sensible move once you remember how much you missed it.
Q: How do I make it up?
A: Follow the instructions on the back of the sachet and make it in a pan on the hob. A whisk helps, and so does nobody wandering off while it thickens.
Q: What do people eat it with?
A: Sausages and mash is the classic, with roast lamb a close second. Liver and bacon fans will also tell you it is not optional.
More about Colman's Onion Sauce Mix
Onion sauce belongs to the old British family of white sauces, alongside parsley and cheese. It is the one that goes with lamb, with sausages, with liver and bacon, and with anything that wants something soft and savoury poured over the top.
People in Canada come looking for it because it is a taste that is very hard to rebuild from memory. You can make a white sauce. Getting it to taste like the jug on your nan's table is another matter, and this packet saves you the bother of trying.
It comes as a 35g sachet of dry mix, so it sits happily in the cupboard until a plate of sausages calls for it. You make it up on the hob following the instructions on the back, and it is ready while the mash is still being argued over.
Colman's makes a whole shelf of these, from parsley sauce to cheese sauce, plus the English mustard it is famous for. If you are putting together a proper bangers and mash night, the mustard is the obvious companion.
