I always assumed Bay Leaves (which I don't put in) was the standard ingredient everyone put in and that I was magnificently original with my cloves!
Bread Sauce is one of my HUGE vital foods (like avocados, Clamato Juice, Aromat, Kent cob nuts).
If I live to be over 100, please all remember this when I'm asked "what is your secret of longevity?" which they always ask (SOO annoying) because I will have forgotten by then.
Please dont ever be tempted to put honey into cranberry sauce.
I have no idea how it happens, but the honey flavour is magnified by a thousand and overwhelms.
My "secret" ingredients are mostly lovage, tonka beans, cassia and caraway. (in general, not for bread sauce)

However, Mrs Beeton started off with no cloves, but amended it in later editions, and Eliza Acton was a non clover too
Whatever you put in, the secret is to let it stand.

No Honey - cloves. I never knew anybody else used them in bread sauce. Also Chicken Stock Cubes from Knorr. Cream. Butter. Breadcrumbs. Onions. Garlic.

This year - no grouse. Shortage of grouse. Where are the GRICE???
My drug dealer for this rare addiction swears she will have some Friday.
She'd better!!!!
Cloves are not a secret ingredient. They are in every recipe for bread sauce I have ever seen.
