Pfft, garlic medium sauce FTW.
I swear the extra flavour in their extra hot sauce makes it less hot than the hot one. Or maybe the extra hot burned my tastebuds to a crisp.
None of their sauces are particularly hot. They only use birds eyes chillis that cap out at about 100k on the scoville scale.
I've realised recently that sauce is a general UK crutch. I knew like 5 ketchup kids growing up who ate everything with ketchup. Might be why we're known as a having bland food because we drown everything in sauce or gravy
Our national dish is literally dried toast with some saucy beans
All food is merely a medium for sauce.
This is the way
Me when I was told hummus is a condiment
Isn't toast normally dried?
On a more serious point, beans on toast is not the national dish on any list I've seen.

Looking up UK or England gives Chicken Tikka Masala, Fish and Chips or Sunday Roast. Scotland has haggis, Wales has Crawl and NI has Ulster Fry.
Beans on toast is probably less of a "national dish" and more an affordable comfort food. I guess the American equivalent would be biscuits and gravy?
What? Our national dish is stuff like the Sunday roast. We didn't even have baked beans until the last century and beans on toast is a comfort food not a national bloody delicacy.
The reason our more traditional dishes from the pre imperial era weren't highly spiced is because we simply didn't have access to them. We used things like sauces, chutneys, pickles, etc to account for that.
