Coffee and tea - yes, sauce ,no. Sauces, custard, wine, oil - yes, but as subjects for a painting. You're having a laugh?

No, ducks. Not never, not nohow. People have sometimes used coffee or tea, or even a vile concoction made from stinging nettles, but although tea is a swine to get out of your white shirt, it fades away to nothing on paper if you try using it for artistic purposes. Ketchup etc would be completely useless. Save it for your sausages.

Funny thing is - well, it tickled me - the moment I thought of sauce and sausages, I went out and bought some... And very nice they are too.

hmm, visions of an exhibition where one guesses the still life from the smell!
