Clue explained
“Brush with sauce” turns familiar tooth-brushing advice into a recipe-style instruction: instead of toothpaste, the absurd recommendation is to use sauce. Lea & Perrins is best known for its Worcestershire sauce, pointing to the condiment behind the gag. The phrase also fits the puzzle’s food-preparation directions, such as “cook until golden brown” and “season to taste,” recast as unexpected advice.
