Exam question:
What sources are there for social and ethnic stereotypes?

Student answer:
Brown sauce for Northerners
Tomato Ketchup for Southerners

I think they might have interpreted the word 'source' incorrectly, thinking it was 'sauce'.

Where are you defining the North / South divide? Also would a Northerner, who has moved South, suddenly like the alternative sauce product?

It's too general. If I lived in Chesterfield I might ask to which sauce I subscribe. Where does the 'north' start ? Or are we simply being Midlandist and assuming they are somehow inferior and swallowed into the other geographical delineation ?

To me this exam question is typical of the dumbing down of higher education. Where does it end? Getting a PHD in mushy peas?

Chesterfield? The North starts a long way South of there. Grantham *nods*

Who says it's just the UK north/south? I ASSUMED the response was about hemispheres. I think more clarification is needed before giving a full and detailed response to the question being posed.

One might also question whether balsamic glaze is considered a sauce or a condiment? This could be considered the go-to option in certain social circles.

Everyone knows surely, the North starts at the Watford Gap services. Thought that was common knowledge.

Although I think a few of those who sung the song thought that meant Watford itself.

Watford Gap services are quite good.

Where does mint sauce fit in with all this?

I think you'll find so prefer Gentlemen's relish with a sausage?
