And while we're on the topic...is it just me or is Worcestershire sauce really sweet these days?
The stuff I've bought lately seems sweeter to me and like some of the punch has been taken out of it. I suspect the salt nazis.Not that I recall?
Hmmm.
Now I'll have to check.
I don't, I'd have used fish sauce but used the last of that a month ago and keep forgetting to buy a new bottle.Ooh I've just remembered. I doubt you have it in but mushroom ketchup is good for this sort of thing. Umami innit.
Yeah leave it alone now and accept it as it is after cooking for a bit longer.
I'm thinking a cup of bleach to wash the acidity out.Give it an hour, then add some really hot chilli sauce and some miso paste.
Should balance it out nicely.

I normally only give it 90 mins to 2 hours but it will be longer this time. I do completely brown the mince beforehand, so all the liquid evaporates and the meat is going golden brown (rather than just beige), same for the streaky bacon I add in too.Sounds like you’re already on track to give it a nice long cook keybored, but that was going to be my other tip, to let the meat fully render and bring that rich, deep flavour the mince will only offer up when it’s cooked into oblivion. I always give bolognese and chilli con carne sauces a 4 hour slow cook.
Yes, the stuff in the foil tubes.Were you using concentrated tomato puree? (if so, never do that again it's always too metallic and too full-on, use passata/"normal" intensity
Yeah-Why would you add sugar?
NEEDS MORE OILI really want to know what the robots have to say about these things.

Is that before or after the piss and marmalade?Give it an hour, then add some really hot chilli sauce and some miso paste.

Verdict so far:
The sugar helped, a lot.
Then after adding the soy and Worcester sauces I feel I may have overdone the Worcester, even 2 tablespoons are detectable in 30 odd portions of bolognese sauce, but it still tastes a lot better than it did an hour ago so I'm happy. I'm gonna reduce it for another hour so it may change.
Is too much tomato puree really a big problem?
You can "wash" it out like you would if you over-salt something. Add a pint of hot water, stir it around for a bit, then ladle it out. You'll be removing other flavourings too though so you may need to re-season the whole thing afterwards.
