      Well known here in Canada. We ALWAYS have a bottle in the fridge.

    Never seen it, but Google tells me there's a Worcestershire kinda taste, is that right? So does it taste like A1? I always though Worcestershire tasted like low-key watery A1.

      If you read the ingredients it has tamarind extract amongst other extracts which I believe gives it a "stronger" taste than A1.
      To my palette its, malty tasting, for lack of a better comparision.
      I'm not a fan of A1 myself but given a choice, A1 over HP any day...

      It's an obvious comparison but to me its richer and has more tanginess to it along with a slight maltiness. It's very thick. I use it a lot on roasted chicken. Lots of Brits put it on eggs.

    Honestly, its tough to compare. Def not A1 but it does have some Worcestershire to it. Watery though, nooooo. You gotta tap it the same way as a ketchup bottle.

      Gotcha, I meant Worcest was like a watery A1 in flavor

    I had it when I was in the Navy and stopped in Portsmouth Naval station at the Officer's Club and had dinner there. Roast beef of course. As I understand it "brown sauce" is very common in England.

      I'm pretty sure I've seen it at Meijer

      UPDATE: Meijer's does carry it, bought some yesterday, unfortunately, we had spaghetti last night and cold cereal this morning, so haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

      My wife drinks this stuff, loves it on scrambled eggs.
      I find it too strong to enjoy on anything personally.

        We have it at Wegman’s. I have nothing against steak sauces, in fact I really like them, but for some reason I always forget to use them. Too busy eating steak I guess. I should probably start using them on all the burgers I eat, that would probably be really good.

          I never use them on steak, but Heinz 57 is my goto on burgers.

          I've been gone a couple days, my first thought when I read it. Makes me feel sorry for you! ;-)

        It's sold locally here. I recall trying it a long time ago but wasn't very memorable so I never bought it again.

          I know it well and enjoy it! As a general rule, I don’t like any "steak sauce" on my steak, but I have used HP on plenty of foods. When I lived in Canada as a kid, I remember there was a "fruity" version or something that was pretty good.

            same. i dont think ive ever used steak sauce with a steak but i use HP on so many other things.

          #14
          It's a very popular sauce in SA. Always in stock at our house i really enjoy its strong tangy flavour.

            Yes, I'm a big fan. It's awesome on scrambled eggs. And not watery at all, it's like ketchup. Really good stuff, with bold flavor. It's one of those bottles that must always be on the top shelf in my fridge => easy access.

              I has to look that one up, never heard of it. Sounds good though! Don’t think it’s available in Sweden :-(
